5 month checkup and baby's gender!

So yesterday we went for our checkup and they told us there had been a scheduling mishap regarding the ultrasound. We had to wait until this morning to have it done! Drew was pissed, and I have to say I was quite frustrated myself. But the checkup went fine, everything is growing like it's supposed to, and I've gained back 5 of the 10 lbs I had lost. Whoopee. And tomorrow I go to the lab for my early glucose tolerance test to officially diagnose the gestational diabetes.




So, the ultrasound went fine today... baby is perfectly sized for the gestational age, ten fingers, ten toes, four heart chambers, perfectly sized brain, blah, blah, blah...



What? What's that you say? Hurry up and tell you the gender, you say?

Okay.



Drumroll please.....

BOY!!!





AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

You should have heard the curses. THREE BOYS?!?!?! Devin and I are SCREWED!!! I am screwed.

"You and your damn Y sperm!" I said to Drew.

Three boys and a girl. Grrr...



Poor Devin is going to have a hell of a time dating when she's older.

And she will be a spoiled little princess for the rest of her days.

A spoiled little princess with hard-ass tomboy tendancies. Hmph!



And someday three of my four children will tower over me with their six-foot-somethin' asses.

Boys.



Ahhh, it's alright. I love the little demon-spawn anyway. I'll be a little boy expert when it's all over and done with (which it NEVER will be until I'm haunting them). I'll take this opportunity to raise up three fine young men (and one fine young lady) to be exceptional boyfriends/husbands/fathers to their women/children later in life.



But alas, we have no name for this little man growing inside me. We had a girl's name all picked out. Annabelle Marie. What to name this child? We welcome suggestions, but don't be offended if we don't pick any of them! :)



Drew should start memorizing the theme song from "My Three Sons." Heh.
