The Truth Comes Out...

By -
Well we did it, we took the plunge. We weren't going to find out the sex of our baby, but with an ultrasound every 6 weeks it just got harder and harder not to find out. If we had just one or two ultrasounds i would've been very content not knowing and having it be a surprise in the delivery room. But I have some health issues that need to be addressed so after my 6th ultrasound I started saying, Okay I think I need to find out.
Plus everything this past year has been so whirlwind crazy, engagement, marriage, pregnancy, moving, selling a house, medical issues, possibility of pre-term labor, I just felt like i needed something that was simple. Something that I could prepare for and put my mind at ease.
So on Monday we went to my 7th ultrasound (i can't even keep track now really) and we said OKAY TELL US!!

And then she pointed at something and said, There's the Turtle Head. Which I didn't get at all, until she said, It's a BOY!
BOY!
Thankfully i wasn't 100% set on a girl, because from day 1 we thought it was a girl. But lately i have been thinking boy and that just felt right. Even in my dreams I was having a boy...
So i am excited for our little monkey boy to make an appearance. I can stop looking at shabby chic stuff and start thinking about little boy things. And OH BOY am I excited!!! We both are! We can't stop beaming!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
