"Well its official I WILL NOT be the only man in the Kee household. It's a BOY!!!"
So now the hunt for names and starting over w/ baby items since all of shelby's baby stuff we saved is just for girls and pink and brown, ALL OF IT! I'm going to try and sew covers for her baby swing, high chair and bedding but we've gotta buy a new travel system (car seat and stroller; cause we broke her stroller and the car seat is out of date by law and regulations) and clothes and boy stuff... i'm SUPER excited!!!! I know we are goin to do his nursery in a deer theme, which Pop Pop is elated over! I found this theme I love and I'm gonna make bedding to compliment these colors and deer theme I believe...
I wanna use antlers and spray paint different deer figurines we can find for his room and I'm going to do this to the walls, I think... this is the color the guest room walls are now....
It's funny how God works because I wanted a boy SOOOO BAD and had finally convinced myself it wasn't going to be a boy but I had not found anything girl I liked and hadn't been excited really because I felt the baby was a girl again and we would just use the items of Shelby's we had (we would buy a few things of course for the new baby). This decor/theme was the only theme I liked and kept coming back to.... God once again showed me that i'm an impatient person and that HIS timing is best and works out for the best!
Shelby is soooo excited to be having a baby brother, much to our surprise considering every talk about a boy before has ended in a fight or meltdown. Last night, we waited to tell her after she got home from dance and we all ate supper together. Josh was so anxious to tell her I barely sat down good and he was spillin the beans! He said, "Mommy and I went to the dr. today and Dr. Tom did a test to see what your baby is and you wanna know what he said? Are you sure? (she nodded and smiled from ear to ear)" He then said, "now regardless of what the dr. says the baby is, remember you said you would love the baby no matter what?" and she nods again... "what do you think the baby is Shelby?" she says, "A boy!" and Josh and I say, "Yes! You're having a baby brother!" And I WISH I HAD GOTTEN A PICTURE OF HER FACE, but she was grinning from ear to ear, her face turned red and her eyes watered (as did ours too) and she said, "Yeaaah!!!!! I knew it!" She was a pile of energy and enthusiasm all evening! we had to run over to Mammy & Pop Pop's for her to tell them (even though Josh had already called them; his daddy first to tell him he was gonna have a huntin buddy! Pop Pop's reaction was, "Are YOU KIDDING ME!" i COULD FEEL the excitement through the phone!). What a great evening and we are all still beaming!!!!
Let me fun begin now!!!!
God is soo good...
this baby not only is a miracle because he wasn't supposed to be able to even be conceived, must less on our own but now a boy?! wow... God knows how to blow our socks off and lift our spirits!
let the spoiling begin!!!
I'm a little nervous because I know NOTHING about boys but I have been told that boys love their mommas and that there's nothing like that bond so that's got me pretty excited because Shelby is 100% Daddy's Girl! This is gonna be sooo fun!!! Pray for us and our growing prince! :)
