It's a Boy!

I knew it! It's a boy!! I'm so thrilled that a) I was right! and b) It's a boy! Obviously I would have loved either, but Dom and I are so excited that our first baby will be a boy, so that the rest will at least have one older brother as their protector. How sweet! And, I can still be the princess he-he.

I was able to find out on Thursday, but as in the previous post, I had the ultrasound technician put the gender in a specially made envelope, and then on Friday night when I got home for my spring break, I had my family, friends, Dom, and his mom over to unveil the gender officially! It was great- my wonderful stepmom bought champagne for the non-pregnant people, and sparkling grape juice for me. (And so I wouldn't be left out, Dom drank that with me) We has pink and blue cupcakes, and stood around the island in the kitchen talking about baby Julian, laughing and enjoying ourselves. I really could not ask for better people in my life!

Saturday and today, my family and I went to do a little baby shopping and browsing. I got socks, receiving blankets, and 2 little short rompers for Julian to lay around in, since it'll be hot in August, and my dad picked out a short sleeved, green onesie with a guitar on it that I can pair with some pants or shorts. Today my stepmom bought him a little pageboy cap that will look so cute on him! I love clothes that make little boys look like little old men haha it's just so sweet! She also bought him a red baseball cap, the zebra long-sleeved onesie from ON that never came when I ordered it, and gray pants to match. At Target we got him another button-up romper with an alligator on it, and a polo shirt with matching shorts, both with alligators on them (in the picture above). (I guess I like the gators!) I bought him 2 short sleeved striped onesies and a pair of shorts.

Yesterday, after our first shopping round, Dom and I came home and lied out the clothes we got and just stared at them for forever. Neither of us could believe that in just a few months we will have something that small that is all ours to take care of! Then, I lied the clothes on my torso, and thought "Hmm... on second thought maybe he could be a little smaller". At the same time, I can't believe something that big will come out of there! Ok... changing subjects.

This break has been perfect so far! I love spending time with Dom and my family at the same time. I feel so loved, and I can't wait to come home in May, when I can be with them all the time. Going back to school next week will be the hardest thing ever, and I'm already regretting it!

It's been such a long weekend, I just can't wait to get to sleep finally!!
