It's a Boy!

Some women say they can tell whether they're having a boy or a girl - mother's instinct. I have never been one of those women. I incorrectly guessed that Natalie was a boy, and I had no clue about this baby's gender until last Monday. That's when we had our 20 week sonogram that showed a healthy baby boy!

I'm really excited and just a tiny bit nervous about having a boy. I love that we'll get to experience parenting both a daughter and a son. The thought of the toy box holding both dolls and trucks makes me really happy, so does the thought of going prom dress shopping and sitting in the stands at football games.

But O'Halloran boys have a history of not only liking trucks and football. Historically they also really like Star Wars, and that's the part that makes me nervous. Before we got married I told Chris that the only way I'd ever watch Star Wars was if we had a son, and now I'm beginning to eat my words.

Star Wars marathons and figurines aside, I'm so very excited for this little boy to get here! Natalie is going to be really excited when he arrives too. She currently loves babies, and hugs herself and then me every time she sees one.
