Enrique and I went in for our ultrasound on Friday. I was lucky to have him with me. He hasn't been able to make any appointments because he always has class. We scheduled this one for 7:30 am so he could make it. Anyway, after the technician spending a lot of time pointing how the features that to me looked like frog features, she told us it was a boy!
Needless to say, I was shocked. I think we all know I was expecting a girl. I don't know why, I was just convinced it was a girl. Enrique, on the other hand, has always known it was a boy. Now, whether he knew it was a boy because of his fatherly instincts or just because he really wanted a boy, we do not know. I suggest it was because he really wanted a boy, but either way, he was right and he is so excited.
I am very excited too. It took me a couple of days to get used to the idea. Not because I do not want a boy, it's just that I wasn't prepared for a boy. I need to re plan my nursery and start thinking blue, green and brown clothes instead of pink, pink and pink. It looks like my mom won't be starting the beautiful smocked baby blessing dress for a few more years.
I am down in San Antonio working for a few weeks. I am on the lookout for little baby boy cowboy boots and a guayabera (that might not be spelled correctly). A guayabera is a very traditional Mexican shirt. I am sure you would recognize it if you saw it. It what all the Latino guys wear when they go dancing or just get dressed up. Enrique has one and he looks so handsome in it!
Anyway, we are so excited for our little Enrique to join our family!
I'm so excited for you! I have to say I was shocked too! Probably the same when I heard Tia was having a boy when she was pregnant with Dylan...I always assumed you two would have girls first, and maybe only girls! ha ha. But boys are WONDERFUL! A lot less drama than girls, and sometimes you can use that the first time around! YOu'll be a great mom. We're so excited for you!
