a boy

This thing flailing around in my belly is a boy.  I can’t describe how excited I am to get to type that.  Of course we would have been happy with a sister for Annie, but to have one of each really is thrilling.  Ben and I haven’t been able to look at each other without grinning since we found out.  We were so anxious to get home to pick Annie up from “school” together even though she has no idea what’s going on.  I think I’ll just let her keep practicing on her dolls a bit longer.  Plus I still haven’t completely gotten over my guilt of adding to our family when I feel like we just got her.  Ah, motherhood.
