Baby #2

Since we didn't find out if Hudson was going to be a boy or girl before he was born, we decided to flip and try this pregnancy out the other way.  Of course when you know you are going to find out what you are going to have, you want to know asap.  We decided to have a 3D ultrasound done to find out the sex a little earlier than our regular OB tells us.

Here was the plan:  we were going in to find out last Thursday.  That next day, Friday, we were having our families over for dinner to tell them all together what it was.  We were going to put pink or blue filling in cupcakes and have everyone bite in at the same time.  That was the plan.

 Of course the baby didn't want to cooperate.  That led Casey to the conclusion that it was defiantly a girl.  The guy doing our ultrasound thought different.  He thought he saw "something" that made him think boy.... but he wasn't sure.  So we were told to come back the next week and hope the baby was in a better position.  We decided to roll on with the party as it is hard to pin down a date to get everyone together.

So I was in the boy frame of mind.  Hudson will get a brother.  That's cool.  We went back in for round two this morning and the little thing's feet were tucked up under it's bottom again.

 Then all of a sudden it shifted a little and I'm just waiting for the boy confirmation when we get a "it's a girl".  What's that?  Pardon?  Don't you mean boy?

Let's not tell her we thought she was a boy.  We will keep it our secret.

Of course as a little "celebration" we (I) had to go out and buy a couple of girl things.

*Putting a damper on our day was what was going on while we were buying the clothes for our girl (or while we were eating lunch, we aren't sure).  Someone broke into our car!  Being the apparent suckers that we are, we didn't even notice until we got home.  They had jammed a screw driver under the door handle to pick the lock.  They stole two bags of clothes that we had just bought at the mall, Casey's jacket, his pistol from his console, and his new briefcase that I had gotten him for Christmas that had a ton of his work documents in.  What is crazy is they left our checkbook, Casey's ipod and gps and the keys were in the ignition!  We feel so mad and violated.  We spent most of the rest of the afternoon sorting out stuff relating to that.  At the same time we know it could have been much worse and are trying to find joy and peace in this situation as we have been learning about in our church the past few weeks.  God obviously has a lesson for us in this and we are putting our trust in Him!
