No power behind the wishes

Our last ultrasound was on Thursday and provided firm proof that it is in fact a boy. The first thing I said to Louis, was, "Sorry honey, no power behind your wishful thinking." He just laughed and said he didn't mind having another boy, he just 'wanted to be sure'. Much to my relief, if the fetus had miraculously changed genders then I would have to repack all the boy cloths that I had just hung up in the closet. We are officially ready for the baby whenever he decides to make his appearance. He measured a week further along then I am supposed to be, so we will see if the date will change or not. :) Again, here is for wishful thinking!! He is quite the active little tyke, and I have now forgotten what it is like to not have a squirming little munchkin inside of me. What will it be like to just be me and have a flat stomach again?? I'm also excited to start working out again and start loosing weight. Wow, never thought I would EVER say those words!! But with Dar starting preschool two days/week shortly after the baby is born, I am loving the prospect of one on one time with baby to do things. Work out, sleep, walk, shop, projects during nap time. All those things are so much easier with an infant than a running, active, non-patient almost 4 yr old. We've decided not to wait as long before we have the next one, but there is something to be said for the convenience of the older one in school. Not that he won't be a huge help when he is at home. I cherish my huge helper, he now has a sticker chart just for helping me out when I ask him too. Because he always listens and helps. I am so blessed.
