I'm seeing Blue

(Lucas just made me realize that the title "Bring on the blues" makes me seem like I am totally disappointed/depressed. This is not the case so he said I must change it. haha.)

Well that many people can't be wrong! We are expecting a little BOY!

I would say that 90 percent of the people we talked to guessed that we were having a boy this time around. It was possibly because last time I had HORRIBLE morning (all day) sickness and this time I have not been sick at all. I have had more headaches than usual, but thats about it! With it being so different it really made everyone think....maybe its a little man in there.

We are absolutely THRILLED. I keep telling people within the first 5 seconds of our conversations. I'm so excited! It is a weird switch to make in our minds, though. We were so used to the idea of raising a little girl first. We saw ourselves as parents with girls and so to be actually raising a boy first is taking quite a mental switch. I'm excited because it might be less difficult this time. With a boy I am less likely to look into his little face when he is born and feel the huge longing for Molly. I'm sure I will feel it anyway, but at least this time it will be a whole new experience. Hopefully a good one. 

The doctor and tech said that my heart shaped uterus isn't that bad. They could hardly tell at this ultrasound that it is curved, which gives me hope. I would love to be able to carry this baby to term, but its a waiting game and we will just have to watch carefully and see what happens. However, so far everything is progressing normally and our little guy is healthy as can be! His heart-rate was spot on and he is a wiggly little thing. He is in the 45th percentile for his size, currently he is 13 oz. 


We already LOVE him!

Have any little boy names you want to share??

Name him Guy because I love that name and Scott won't let me name any of our boys that. Guy Taylor. That's a rockstar/star athlete/movie star/all around success name (So is "Guy Chapman" but Scott hates it because he hates our future sons being successful).

I love the names Eli, Judah, Silas, and Milo. Those are just a few on my long long list in case we have another boy (except for Eli, because that is already my little boy's name, ha ha.) When do you guys actually find out the gender, or have you already?

I love the name Dean! But J has a fam member with the name (well so do I my dad's middle name) but Dean Taylor!? I think its awesome. Also Destin, Xander, Orion, Logaine (if you know where that one is from I totally owe you a high five) We have a lot more boy names on our list than girl names we have 1 girl name left and a list of like 20 boy names. Maybe I'll have one to, find out in a monthish.

I think boy names are TOUGH!!! I am partial to Jaxson though :) Congrats I am so very happy for you!!

Jess said...

Yay! Maybe we will both have boys? I think you already have some pretty cute boy names. I like the names Bryce, Owen, Charlie, Tanner, Shay, Travis.

There is an Edward in my primary class and he is awesome. We call him Ed.

Congrats guys!!! I can't wait for January! I think Jaxson is really cute too, and David and Michael. Payce has a nephew named Jaxson and everyone calls him little Jaxsi, it is so sweet!

Whatever you do, don't name him Thomas!

You don't know me, but I've been following your story. I have seen my parents grieve over the loss of a newborn baby girl, too. I have also seen their joy with the arrival of the next new miracle baby. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you congrats on your new little man! I like names Oliver, Dash, or Romney.

Stephanie said...

gotta say I'm also a fan of Jaxon but I am totally using it so I didn't wanna offer it up :)

Cortland, it is old school, unique, and cool

I think his middle name should be Hermann because ____ hermann taylor sounds legit!

brandilyn said...

NOAH! so excited you're having a boy...yay!

Jackie said...

I like old fashions names, Daniel or Joseph would be my first choices. Congratulations and I hope all goes well for you.
