The Tenth of May

It is official Ben and I will be welcoming a baby boy in a few months. It is still shocking to us; we were so convinced it was a girl. It just goes to show, mother’s intuition has not kicked in yet. J So let me tell you how it happened. During the ultrasound the baby was standing on its head and doing flips pretty much the whole time. Ben and I thought it was hilarious and could not stop laughing and smiling, the nurse however was terrible and was being really mean and calling our baby anree. You can imagine I was not too thrilled about this, I told her not to call it that and that the baby was just happy. By the way the ultrasound was going I was pretty sure we were going to have a problem seeing the sex of the baby. Boy was I wrong as soon as she turned to the baby backside it was very obvious it was a boy. I was in shock, I just look at Ben and started crying. It was a very emotional moment and I was so happy we were able to share it together. We think it is wonderful though, we had always wanted to have a little boy first. Since as long as I can remember we always had this idea of having a boy first and then a girl, so that way she would have a big brother to watch over her, just as I always did. I love the idea of the male being the oldest and Ben getting to have a little Ben Ben, a son to carry on the Leivian name. I think it would be awesome to name our little boy Ben Ben but of course that would be weird. We are still working on a name for him; it is a lot harder than we thought it would be. If it was a little girl she would already have a name. Stay tuned I am hoping by the birth he will have a name, lol!
