BOY! Brothers! How awesome is that?

I can’t wait to tell Em when I pick him up from school. He’s going to lose his mind. He’s been asking for a brother since day one. Yay! Penis!

The only downside to today was the whole having to drink 20 ounces of water before the exam. I very nearly peed myself. The pain got to be so unbearable, I actually cheated and let a little out before they called me back into the exam room. (Talk about control, people!) Naturally, in typical baby fashion and like Em did years earlier, I have to go back tomorrow because he wouldn’t cooperate with the ultrasound technician and give us a frontal view. (We weren’t able to get a clear view of his heart and face. With Em it was the spine and kidneys. They’re already opposites!)

So, yeah. Brothers. I’m gonna be a mama to two boys.

I’m so freaking happy.
