I went back and forth over the last months, really hoping for a boy, and convincing myself that having a girl would be ok too.
And it's more than just the "dads always bond better with boys" thing. I'm and older brother, and of we decide to try to have another one, I wanted to first one a boy to serve as a "protector" of some sort.
Also, I don't communicate with my older brother any more, and although he has recently married(Facebook background check), I really don't think he is having kids any time soon. He would be the only other person besides myself to be able to carry on our lineage of Monheits. Besides my sister, I have two girl first cousins, (besides other reasons I won't get in to right now)they wouldn't be able to pass on the name to a child.
So I am happy the Monheit name is secure through my son, and possibly through children of his own someday. I know that is way ahead of myself, but sometimes it's good to think about the future.
I'll make a couple more posts over the next few days while sitting around the hospital. Since Lauren had to have a C-Section, she has to spend an extra day. So I'm right here with her. With the occasional run home to take care of Nacho. Stay tuned for more stories!
Kiss your momma, you babies, and your babies momma's!!

I know I keep saying it, but Im so happy for you guys!! Looking at Laurens bump I guessed boy, but not out loud as my bumps - I was all out front for #1-boy, all around for #2-girl, but #3 I was all out front, convinced it was a boy, and she was a girl lol!! Even as she was delivered I had to look twice to believe it was a girl (but part of that was shock at delivering my own baby lol). So I never publicly guess bumps lol!
ReplyDeleteI hope Lauren heals really quickly after the C Section, poor thing sounds like she had a bit of a tough time, but looking at the pictures she looks great and Harrison (or will it be Harry?) looks so adorable! I think he is a perfect weight! Small enough to be a newborn and big enough to be a toughie if that makes sense?! Most of my babies were huge so missed out on the tiny newborn stage, but I had Disney early and she was 7,13 so it was lovely having a tiny baby for a change!!
Lots and lots of love to the 4 of you!!! (Will hopefully send my teeny tiny gift before the month is out lol!!) xxxxxxxx
