The Young and the Restless

It's A......


....boy! (I'll refrain from posting the crotch shots for all to see, but trust me, it's a boy.) I was 99% sure it was a girl. Before I even got pregnant with Kylie and Jayden I knew what they were going to be and the same thing happened this time (or so I thought). All signs were pointing to a girl--the Chinese conception chart, the ring over the wrist and my all-knowing motherly instincts. I hadn't even remotely considered the idea of a boy and now I'm just trying to get over the shock. I spent the first 20 weeks preparing for a girl...coming up with names, thinking of decorations for the nursery, browsing through all the girl racks...and thankfully I have another 20 weeks to get ready for a boy! A girl would have been fun, but who doesn't love a mamma's boy? I'm just seriously worried that we're never going to come up with a name for this kid. Kylie was a little disappointed, she had her heart set on a little sister, but we're all really excited now, especially Jayden. It's going to be so fun to have my two little boys together. So here are the first shots of our little man, we can't wait to meet him!

As a sidenote....just some proof that my pregnancy brain is in full force, here is a list of things that I have forgotten in just the past two days:
-the appointment that my visiting teachers had set only the day before
-mutual activity night--it's always been the same day and same time so I don't know how I completely spaced it
-library books due like a week ago--at $2 a day for each late DVD, I may have to take out a small loan. Need I remind you that to this day I have never ever had a late fee at the library?
-carpool--I knew it was my week to drive, I had taken them that morning for heaven's sake. But come 2:45 when school is already out, my brain was on vacation. Thankgoodness Jason was home to remind me.
-Everytime I make a payment for my lab work I do it on our health fund credit card. This time I completely spaced it and put it on our regular credit card, which meant that Jason had to spend forever on the phone trying to fix it (I love how he is always coming to my rescue).
-I was supposed to have an important paper for Jayden's preschool next year turned in yesterday. Yeah, I barely made it to the school today before they shut down for summer.

I don't know how I can even function in society with a brain like this.
