Oh Boy!
We are beyond excited to announce that our family will soon be welcoming another BOY! Can you believe it? We were starting to believe maybe it was a girl. It seemed everyone around us (who took a stab at guessing) all voted girl. Even the lady at the airport ticket counter blurted out, "... and one on the way? You're having a girl." "Oh really?" I said, somewhat amused that a total stranger would have the goods on knowing the gender. After a while Ryan started thinking it was a girl, and I (not one to trust any gut feelings I may have without hard evidence) started to wonder myself. Every time Drew and I talked on the subject he would say there was girl baby in Mommy's tummy... (then again, he also said there was a boy baby in his tummy and that Matt's baby was at Wal-Mart... not exactly profound insight). Nevertheless, all this one-sided input had me kind of geared up to expect news of an impending girl. After the ultrasound I was sort of in a confused daze. Could it be true? Another boy, really? I called Ryan and he was just as stunned. After stammering for a response--I think he actually said something like, "Are you serious?... Wow... Well, congratulations..." as if this was just happening to me! (nice)--the news finally settled in and he said he was happy and excited. I know all children are a gift and intended for our families, but for some reason the feeling of foreboding seems more intense than I remember in my two previous pregnancies. I have a stronger sense that this person is truly meant to be part of our family, and I can't wait to meet him!

Brenda, you totally crack me up - and Ryan (congratulating you like it's just you this!) How funny. Another boy is GREAT! I didn't even know you were pregnant - so when are you due? I've always thought a housefull of boys would be so much fun to raise - you are totally on the way!
Congratulations! I am really happy for you.
yay! Congratulations! :) I hope you continue to feel well :)
Congrats! I was just telling Angela last week, "I keep waiting to read on Brenda's blog that she's pregnant." She kind of looked at me for a second and then realized I didn't know you WERE pregnant. I'm so happy for you! Your house is gorgeous-I'm sure you're enjoying it. Any names picked out for baby yet?
Congratulations Brenda! You are good with boys so it's a good thing youre having another one!And don't worry, there's still chance of a girl. I thought all hope was gone for me but I got my girl and may be getting another!:)
Good luck with everything! Glad I found your blog!
Brenda- Be grateful it's a boy! I love my girls but boys are so much "nicer" then girls. Girls can be very very mean! I am so happy for you and I am glad that he is still in there cooking away!
YAY! I love it and I am so excited for you. I love reading your blog because your story-telling is fantastic. We need to talk sometime and catch up. Stay strong and RELAX as much as possible to give your body a break =) p.s. I put you down as a job reference since you were my boss =)
It was so good to talk to you. I am cracking up that your boys asked you what an ice cream cone was. You should be on Oprah. I think an Ice cream cone was my boys first food at 4 months! You are a good mom!
I can't believe it's another boy! Yay! Nate thinks for sure our #3 will be a girl then since we are doing this whole 'arranged marriage' thing, so he says thanks a lot! (He really wants a boy obviously! :)
We're excited for you guys!
