Oh, Boy!!

It's probably old news to most of you now, seeing as I texted everyone for whom I had a cell phone number and then posted it on facebook, BUT in case you haven't heard, we are having a


BOY!!!


I wasn't sure our family was capable of producing boys, and frankly that was fine with me. I am happy, as I knew I would be either way. Mostly I am glad for Dave to have a boy, though it still seems unfathomable. His first question to me on the phone after I broke the news was, "Did they get a good look?"

Yes, they sure did. I happened to have my parents along for the adventure and my dad, the seasoned OB, concurred. But it was clear enough that I could tell without any help, so there you go.

Anna insisted she wanted a girl and was none too happy about us telling her the baby was a boy, but I am confident she will come around. The other girls are both thrilled and I am sure they will be wonderful big sisters. Hopefully we can rough him up rather than dress him up. :)

Yay for Dave! I'm sure he'll do his best to mitigate the damage the girls will inflict upon their little prince. Congratulations!

I'm excited for you guys, and a little jealous my girl will be the odd one out (who knew that a girl would be the rarity in the Freeman family for a minute). Congrats! Having had exactly one of each gender, making me so knowledgeable about these sort of things :) I can't wait for you too to see the difference that comes with a different gender and the new dynamic it will add to your crew, there is nothing like a son. It really is something special.

I love this news, and little Queenie's reaction. It will be so, so fun. I can't wait to see him.
