Um, hello to the cutest little guy ever!

I have a feeling little Jerry will dig this outfit. Oh, Scott Schuman...you sure know how to pick em'.

Boy Will Be Boys...

... or least the doc @ my 21 week structural ultrasound said so. Actually, it was more of a "it looks like a boy!" She made sure to point out our little guy's "little guy" as proof. And proof it was- he was proudly standing at attention in there! So, yes fam... Jerry and I are having a BOY. We learned about our pregnancy very early on (5 weeks to be exact), so it seems as though we've been anxiously awaiting these gender revealing results for what seems like a century! And we're soooooo happy to know that we will be ushering in our son this October. A healthy baby B-O-Y. :)

Up until we knew what we were expecting- folks would often ask what I "wanted". And it's funny, you see ... I thought i was having a baby girl when i first learned of the little seed that could. I thought that some how i was magically in tune with my body and i could just feel that i was having a girl. Kinda hilarious. I obviously was under the impression that when one is pregnant they have super natural powers and are borderline physic. Phys co? Yes. Physic? Not so much. All that to say that i eventually started telling people that it didn't matter what i was having- i really had no preference at all. I didn't know how to want something other than what god intended to give me. If God physically handed you a gift-would you decline and exchange for something a bit more suited for you? I think not. You'd gladly accept and be on your way.

So, this is it guys. I am mother to a baby boy. When it's all said and done...my first born will go down in the books (and by books, of course I mean my personal journal or maybe a self made Wikipedia page ;) ) as a boy. *smile*

And rest assured, Jerry Lorenzo Manuel III will also be going down in the books. For what you ask? Well, for whatever God intends him to carry out while here. This is the exciting part and i've got a ton of work to do in order to help him get there.

Stayed tuned...

Give it a try and thank me later. This snack is one of my all time favorties. I can scoop out the entire tub of hummus in one sitting. I wouldn't mind slathering hummus on just about everything...don't judge me.
