Epiphany

I ran to Target on my lunch hour to pick up a few household necessities. While I was there, I stopped by the children's clothing department to enjoy my first experience of buying boy gear. Buried underneath tutus, ribbons, lace and layers of pink girls' clothing were some really cute boy outfits (the ratio of girl to boy clothes is completely disproportionate if you ask me but I'll get to that later.) Anyway, I must admit it was hard to ignore the girls' clothing because it's all just so freaking cute! But alas, I am now strictly in boy mode unless the ultrasound technician says we are having a girl at my next appointment at which point I'll seriously start to question my baby's indecisive anatomy. Lol. 

I did find a few cute items (all on sale thank you very much...) and one adorable outfit that said "Loverboy" for $2!!!! Then it dawned on me: Thank God I AM having a boy. I mean, because the clothing choices are inherently limited for boys, it forces you to stay on a budget. If I were having a girl, I'd seriously consider dipping into my retirement to buy her every cute outfit and accessory I find (which I know is ridiculous and I wouldn't actually do it but I would at least consider it.) HA. So in the end, my heart has grown even more for the baby boy inside me and for now, our savings account will, too.

Check out a few pics from our ultrasound earlier this week. I am 18 weeks along and these pics happen to be 4D (real time shots!) Isn't he so cute??!?!
