Queen of the "Castle"

I am now officially going to be the Queen of our home aka "my castle." We found out on Monday that we are having another boy! We are beyond happy and most of all pretty much ready for him to come, just not yet since it would not be safe for medical reasons and for bills to be paid.

Here are a list of reasons why this Mama is so happy that I got to hear the words "It's a boy AGAIN!"

1.) We have all the boy stuff ready and many friends/family are already willing to give us more

2.) I cannot do hair so I need to master that prior to having a baby girl

3.) My house is not ready space-wise for a baby girl's clothes to fit anywhere

4.) Our bank accounts would not be able to handle my tutu and headband obsession

5.) Two big brothers instead of 1 to protect my non-existent but hope to be baby girl for baby #3 one day will make her life so much safer (even if she hates being bossed around or her boyfriends being threatened.) (yes, I am talking about baby #3 already. I live my life by planning and this is my life plan.)

Drum roll please.....my favorite reason of all is.... 

6.) Seeing the smile on my husband's face the moment the lady said it was a boy was priceless. I wish I could have whipped out my cell phone and took a picture of his face but I am pretty sure the X-ray Tech did not want me jumping off the bed with my pants down just yet.

I think regardless of the sex, and how crazy our lives are about to become, it is amazing how many times a baby can make you laugh, smile and even cry tears of joy in just the few short months being here on Earth. (I say the on Earth part because I am a firm believer that yes an ultrasound is all good and nice but truly, all babies in them look like aliens to me. Especially the creepy waving hands.) So I cannot even imagine how much joy and happiness Tim & I will get from Christopher and his little brother. Aaahh..I get chills every time I say big or little brother. I am just so in love with the fact that Christopher will have a little brother to love, push around, teach new things to (probably both good and bad) and most of all be best friends with. Tim has always said he wanted a Tim & Nate. For all of you that are unfamiliar with who Nate is, it is Tim's little brother. They share such a special bond like most big & little brothers do and ever since I found out I was pregnant again, I just knew that is what I wanted for Christopher and for my husband. 

Words cannot express the adventures that our lives are about to embark on but so far the adventures have been nothing but pure happiness. Yes, there were bumps in the road where I felt like giving up or just needed a break but I would not trade the feeling of being a Mom and having a family of mine own in for anything in the world. I now know what it feels like when I used to hear my parents tell my siblings & I how much they loved us and let me just tell you, it is the most awesome feeling in the world!

So for all of you out there thinking or even saying (behind my back) that we are crazy, go ahead, keep laughing or talking, because not a word or a thought could change the happiness I have in my heart right now. I am and will always be the Queen of my "Castle" in a house full of boys to protect me and love me every single day.
