a BOY!

A healthy baby boy so far.

21 weeks along, all organs fine.

Couldn't believe how it, even though it was so obvious even I could tell. Made the sonographer go over it twice.

Yep, it's a boy.

A bit shocked, because I was pretty certain it was a girl.

But it's definitely a boy.

Congratulations!

I FARKING KNEW IT!!!! I said it was a boy all along FWIW, when I had my DS (second baby) I worried a bit about knowing what to do with him - turned out he was just a baby, he didn't come out clutching power rangers and a gun

Congratulations expat, great news

Our first two were surprises, belgo, so this time, we wanted to know.

I guess I have to stop calling him Muireann.

He was opening and closing his wee mouth, putting his handy up by his head.

yes you'll have to stop calling him Muireann. Had you decided on a boy's name?

AttilaTheAntiHun · 13/06/2008 17:28

Wow.
Are you really 21 weeks ?
You'll have to learn what to do with willies and everything.

QuintessentialShadows · 13/06/2008 17:28

Oh expat I am so pleased for you! Boys are LOVELY! (girls too, of course. )

How exciting, I have two DD's and would be completely floored by the idea of having a boy, not sure why. Glad everything is going well.

PortAndLemon · 13/06/2008 17:30

Either stop calling him Muireann or start saving for his therapy sessions...

Congratulations!

lulumama · 13/06/2008 17:30

If he comes out ginger, maybe he'll be a Ruaridh.

That's the thing with names, sometimes they come out and they don't suit the name you chose.

Great news!

(I've just got passed on a whole load of baby boy clothes too, never mind)

dinny · 13/06/2008 17:32

Nice name, Expat, my friend has a Ruan

belgo · 13/06/2008 17:33

how do you pronounce Ruaridh?

dinny · 13/06/2008 17:34

Belgo - Rory
