"It's a Boy!!!!"

Yes, Alex and AJ found out yesterday that their first baby (due St. Patrick's Day) is a boy!! She had done all of the Chinese tests you can find on-line prior to this sonogram, and all had predicted boy. As a matter of fact, she and her co-workers did the swinging ring test, and Alex's said boy, then they did it on a friend due a month before her and it said girl (she already had found out it was a girl) and then on another co-worker that was not pregnant, and the ring didn't move at all! These Chinese must know what they're doing!

I have always thought Alex would be the PERFECT mother of boys, not that she wouldn't for girls either. No, it's just that really girly-girls like Alex always seems to be mothers of all boys. It's like God knows, and of course He does. AJ is from a family of sons only, and is deeeeeelighted. He posted on Facebook that he's ready to buy the four-wheelers and be the overly dominant sports dad. Oh, they will have so much fun! Alex's bump is very cute and all in front, which is also another old wives tale that you're having a boy. After they found out yesterday, they drove straight to the store and bought boy clothes with puppies and helicopters. Yes! Let the buying begin!

I'm so excited for another family member! And Christmas is way more fun with a child to see all the magic through their eyes. I hope I can be the most fabulous grandmother. Getting older doesn't have many perks except the love of grandchildren. I've already been praying for this little Funyon and asking God to bless him even before he is born. Alex said the person doing the sonogram said she didn't think she'd ever seen a baby move so much, so I guess they will have their hands full! I found from my 3 children, for this to hold over. Bubba was a mover, Alex was not, and DD all the time. Guess Alex will have a live wire!

The countdown is on!
