Some Big News



I know that I keep taking long breaks from the blogging world, but the news we received this past Monday had to be shared!!! We found out we are having a little boy!!! William Rogers Howell will be his name and we are going to call him Rogers!! William is my dad's first name and Rogers is Scott's great grandfather's name.
Now I know to some this does not seem like a huge surprise, of course the little baby will either be a boy or a girl right?! But with the type of invitro we had to go through, there was a 68% chance that we were going to have a little girl. And if you asked Scott what he thought this little one was he was 100% sure it was a girl. I really did not have a feeling one way or the other, but I would tell people that I thought it was a boy, just because Scott was so sure it was a girl. =)
When we were sitting outside the ultra sound room waiting to go in, I was getting a little restless. I was just ready to hear that everything was healthy and then of course what the baby was. I asked Scott what he would do if it was boy, because he was SOOO sure that it was a girl. Here is his anwser: "Kate, you know when you are little, and it was Christmas morning and the only thing that you want for Christmas was a pony. Well, as the morning goes on you get all of these amazing toys and it has been a great, and then after all the presents are opened, your mom turns to you and tells you to go out back because there is one more present for you to see, and it is the pony." He said that is what a little boy would be for him, his pony. Well... Scott got his pony, that is for sure!!!
I will be 19 weeks tomorow, so almost half was there.
And I don't think I have mentioned this on the blog, but my sister is having a little girl 5 weeks before us!! Little Maggie and little Rogers are going to have so much fun together!!!
