It's a BOY!

An update on our SON, Troy and myself...

Cletus the Fetus is a boy! I had a doctor's appointment this past Thursday and found out then that we are having a little boy. We are both so excited! It's what we both had hoped for - Troy for obvious reasons, and myself because I think every girl should have a big brother, so I've always wanted a boy first. We haven't decided 100% on a name, but we are leaning towards Ezekiel and calling him Zeke! He is healthy and active and kicking his mother's bladder quite frequently which sends her to the bathroom every 20 minutes or so.

Troy is also doing well. He has made a life long friend out there - Frank. They seem inseparable and I tease Troy that I am jealous of all this time Frank is getting. :) He and Troy have lots in common and it is so comforting to me to know that Troy has someone there to keep him from being lonely. I'm grateful for Frank and am excited to meet him and his family one day!

And I'm fine as well. I'm adjusting ever so slowly to Troy being gone. I've slept on the couch since I've been in Mississippi because it's small enough to make me not feel so alone when I sleep. However, baby boy Morgan has made my belly so large, I'm transitioning back to the bed starting tonight. I no longer comfortably sleep on the couch. Healthwise, I feel great! My energy is back, I'm not puking anymore!!

I am getting excited and nervous about having a baby. I was watching a delivery on television last week and it's the first time that it dawned on me that I'm actually going to have to deliver this little guy. These four months I've just been excited about having the baby in my life, and haven't actually considered how it is going to get from my belly to my arms. Haha...so, that's brought on a bit of nervousness, but I'm a tough chick, so I'll be fine.

That about sums it up for the Morgans. Here is a video of the last ultrasound. The baby was sticking his whole hand in his mouth and my sister was able to capture a few seconds of it. It was adorable!!
