The Cromwell name will live on!!!

I couldn't wait a whole other month for the doctor to tell what I was going to have so we went to our favorite place in the mall to get an advanced showing. Well, I thought for sure it was a girl. But I think I just didn't want to jinx myself, I just told myself it was a girl all along. I was going to be happy with whatever it was going to be but a little boy will be exciting. While we were taking pictures of the baby Julia was so excited and we told her it was going to be a boy she kept saying, "I'm going to be a big sister!" She wanted to come sit by me but she was jumping around and talking her head off. After the appointment we went to pick out a few little baby boy outfits. I think I said at one point in the store, "It's weird not looking at girl stuff."

A little background story when we went to see what Julia was going to be. We went to the Fetal Imaging place in the mall and there is a foreign guy that runs the place and so when he told us what Julia was going to be his response or explanation came out like this, "No balls!" So that became the joke for us and something Layne really remembered. So Layne didn't want to go with me to see what the baby was this time.....to superstitious maybe?? But we called after the appointment and we had Julia tell him, "Balls Daddy!" She had to say it about 5 times but Layne finally understood. He was WAY EXCITED!!!!

I am 17 weeks along and have been feeling the baby make little movements. I first felt him in bed on July 4th. Its hard to notice them because they just feel like little flutters but he is moving and growing and looks good. He only weighs about 1/2 pound but not for long! We can't wait for him to get here!!
