Baby Chronicles: The baby has MOJO!
Up bright and early this morning, I discovered a beautiful fever blister, no doubt from all the anxiety and worrying about whether or not the baby would show its stuff (not to mention all the moving and Christmas tasks!). Russ and I went over to pick dad up since he was elected to be our parent chaperone at this fine occasion.
True to form, the baby wasn't so much on being bothered BUT, after much prodding, poking, measuring, etc. the technician said, "Now, you guys do want to know gender, right?" Slobbering in anticipation, we said yes and her reply... "Here's one leg, herer's the other leg, and there's the third little leg!" Yes, our baby is going to be a boy! Little John Clark (aka Jacey) Johnson spread his legs for the camera just long enough so that we could be certain that the baby has MOJO, not girl stuff. We couldn't be more excited to know who is in there AND to be able to commence serious gender-specific shopping. I told Russ that this is the first and ONLY time we'll ever want our child to spread its legs for the camera but we sure were glad he did!
At Joseph's request, we called him at school to let him know the baby is a boy. He said, "It's a boy! YEEEEESSSSSS! I knew it! I just knew Leechie was going to be a boy!" Then, to the whole classroom at large, "YEEEESS! Now I'm going to have a baby brother AND a baby stister. Well, actually, I'll have two brothers and a sister!"
And, of course, we headed off to Babies R Us for some gear. I was thinking to buy a bit of the crib set but we didn't find exactly what we wanted. However, we DID find a super cute little onsie and cap that says "Little Flirt." We also couldn't resist the golfer's outfit with tiny little golf shorts, v-neck sweater with golf cart embroidered on it, and, of course, the tiny old fashion golfer's hat--in honor of the grandads, of course. We just hope Jacey likes hats!
We made a total haul too... mom stopped by Kohl's and picked up 7 little onsies, a couple pair of pants, and the sweetest blue and white bubble suit. My favorite is the onsie that says "Stud Muffin." Woohoo! This kid is going to be so spoiled!
The baby weighs 11 oz. now at 20 weeks and is in the 54th percentile for his size. We've proved the old wives tale wrong too with a heart rate of 162 bpm.
It feels really different now that we know the baby is a boy. I can already tell that we think about him differently and have started planning differently. It's so much fun to know who he is!
