Erik are I are thrilled to announce we are having a baby boy!
We found out the incredible news on September 7th. Throughout my pregnancy, both of us had a little inkling it might be a boy, but we didn't want to get our hopes up. The ultrasound tech assured us there was absolutely no possibility of error on this one. Yay! Erik is the only boy on his side of the family so he really felt the pressure to keep the Olafsson name alive. To our amazement, it will live on.
Erik and I are both completely overjoyed to be having a son and can't wait to meet the little guy. Immediately following our appointment, we called my sisters and closest friends. I wanted to tell my parents so badly but had to wait a few days until we could reach them on Skype. As for Erik's family, we told them a couple of days later at our Sunday dinner. Erik and I (yes, Erik actually helped), made cupcakes with blue frosting on the inside and decorated the top with a question mark. They were supposed to bite into them to find out the gender, but it didn't work out exactly as planned. Erik's Mom unwrapped her cupcake and saw a little bit of blue frosting on the bottom of it and screamed "it's a boy!" before anyone could take a bite. Oh well. As far as Claire, she has no idea what is going on. When asked "where is Mommy's baby?" she says "Mommy's tummy", but that's as far as her knowledge goes. She'll probably pick up more of an understanding by the time her baby brother arrives in February.
Now onto my latest dilemma....
what the heck am I supposed to do with a boy?!

congratulations!!!
So far, with a boy, I snuggle, kiss wounds, sing to him every night, read him stories... and just recently- compliment him on his really awesome dinosaur noises... and threaten to put his monster truck in time out if he (the truck) doesn't quiet down a little bit.
:) Boys are wonderful. Your son will teach you how to do it.
I can't wait! Don't worry, boys are no different (well slightly) untill they can run and jump and then it's all crazy and new:) You'll have plenty of time to get used to it. BTW, you look so adorable!!!
hooray! a BOY! I am so incredibly in LOVE with my little boy! There is something so amazing about a mother and son bond! Congrats!! And it's true you LOOK AMAZING! The prettiest prego EVER! :)
I'm so glad you're having a boy, because this might be our last mission. We will find many other ways to serve the Lord - at home. You'll have so much fun with a boy. Probably a lot more action, but less emotion as a teenager.
