It's A........

Well, I found out what the baby is today. You can't tell from these pictures since it just shows the profile but it's another BOY! Yep, I'm not kidding. Granite thought I was, but I saw the proof myself. I amazingly smiled and laughed when I saw it even though the whole time before this day and even before I was pregnant) I wished for a girl. I even prayed that I would not feel sad if it was. I always thought it was so neat to have two kids of the same gender especially after seeing my two sisters kids (one has three boys and the other has two). It's just that I thought, well, if the baby is a boy, I have to wait for a long time again to have another try. And every time I see little girls and girls clothes and such, I just yearned for my own little girl. I've even been collecting adorable girl's clothing but I'm just going to have to sadly put it away and save it for sure, I'm not giving it away. Anyway, I am still so happy!!! I am very grateful that the baby is healthy and just the fact that I'm having another precious one in our family. That is such a great great blessing in itself. Funny thing is, Granite wanted another boy for the longest time until Kono hit the terrible three's and then he wanted calmness and a break for a while. Another funny thing is that early in my pregnancy, I had a dream it was a boy (although I didn't see the baby in the dream). But I thought, dreams don't always come true. Whenever we asked Kono what the baby was he'd say both a boy and girl ( I think this was when he didn't know how to make a choice). But lately he's been saying brother. It's funny he knew. I think he would've still been happy if he had a sister since he is obsessed with his little girl cousin, Miya. But he'll have so much fun to have a playmate and someone to play sports with. He asks daily for me to play Batman with him and I get bored with it right away. It's cute though, he'll change his voice for the characters.

The ultrasound technician said the baby had long femur bones and big feet. She asked me if Granite was tall and I said "No, normal height, but my Dad was tall." Well, this isn't for certain that he'll be tall but I'm guessing he'll be taller than Kono. He's about 14 ounces right now. I've been feeling him move, stretch and kick since Jan. 30th which makes the pregnancy so much more real.
