When I went to my 20 week appointment to find out if Piper was a boy or girl the technician told us the story of a couple who went in to their appointment with a bet. The dad bet that the baby would be a boy and the mom bet the baby would be a girl. If the dad won the bet he was going to get a brand new TV, and if the mom won she was going to get a new set of couch.
The moral of this story? I found out today that if we were that couple James would've got a brand new TV.
Since really only my friends read this blog you guys are the first I would like to share this news with. Really, I would've said something a LONG time ago but strangely I didn't quite know what to say. I mean do you just pop out in the middle of a conversation and say "guess what? I am pregnant?" I was racking my brain trying to think back how I found out about other people's pregnancy. The only one I could remember was Tammy's. From what I could remember, I always find out via some electronic device and of course it is always way past when I really should've known. Anyhow, since I then took a trip to Taiwan for a month and we were finding out the sex two days right after we got back I figure it was just more fun to share after we found out.
Reaction to this baby being a boy... James and I are in a bit of a shock. From the start I sorted of refer to this baby as a he but really I had no idea about the sex of the baby. I was excited in the beginning to the possibility of having a boy but the closer I got to the date of the ultrasound I kept thinking a girl would be nice too. It felt a bit unreal to know this one is a boy. What do you do with a boy? We are so used to buying everything in pink it seems a bit of a shock to start looking at boy stuff. Anyhow, Piper's reaction to getting a baby brother was tears. She consoled herself that we could have one baby brother and later get a hundred (yes, 100) baby sisters.

Congratulations!!! How exciting. Piper will be such a great big sister. When is your due date???
Wow! I am so excited for you, James and Piper!! Congratulations!!! I love finding out about friends who are pregnant. Got any names tumbling around yet?
Yay!! Just so you know, boys are super sweet and I can already picture the boy version of Piper in my head right now! I also kind of thought....What good is a new tv without a great couch to sit on while you watch and vice-versa? Congratulations and that explains the strange curve I encountered on Sunday when you got a welcome-back hug from me! ;)
Congratulations!!! I thought about leaning over to you in Relief Society and whispering, "You can tell me... I swear I won't ask to smell your belly button." :)
That is so very awesome. I am hugely excited for you! Aaa! VERY excited for you!!!! Really. Huge, huge, huge congrats.
I love Piper's reaction. And it is definitely nice to have kids from both sexes. You know.... right before you have another 100 girls.
JUDY! Peggy and I decided weeks ago that you were pregnant, and were just waiting for you to announce it.
I am so stinkin' excited for you! Guess that means I need to give you some things back in a few months!
I am due at the very end of October. You know, if it wasn't for being in Taiwan for a month I probably would've said something a long time ago. I probably would've even said something on Sunday, but since we were finding out about the sex of the baby on Monday I figured it would just be much easier to just wait one more day. But I guess most people can guess already... thanks for not just assuming I gained a lot of weight. :-)
Kristine, when you wrote that you had a question to ask me I figured you knew already! You guys are so good at guessing! I am always the very last to know when it comes to Tammy.
Now I am a bit over the shock of having a boy, I am getting excited over having a boy. At least I really hope I am going to get less drama from him than Piper.
Boy's are awesome! At least as far as I know! Congratulations!!
Oh Judy.... I am so excited for you! Boys are the best :) I thought there was something different about you on Sunday....
WAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. Boys are great (this is coming for a mother of two boys who does not know what to do with a gril).
Again congrats on the baby boy!
JUDY! I am so excited for you and your family! I absolutely love boys! They are totally full of energy, but it's all worth the crush you will have on them. Boys love their mamas!
