IT'S A. . .

BOY!


That's right, another boy in this family.  I guess that still makes me the Princess?  Or does that make me the Queen? 


Here's the little nugget!

Either way, I am excited to have another baby in the house.  I have to admit, I was a little sad that I wasn't able to run out and buy something pink right away.  Even my sister called me before my ultrasound and said, "IF IT'S A GIRL, I AM RUNNING OUT AND BUYING SOMETHING PINK IMMEDIATELY".  Pretty sure my mom was going to do the same thing!  :)  Can you tell that we are all DYING for some pink in this family?  Well, we are still holding out hope for my brother and sister-in-law.  


On to the next phase of Mommy Planning 101.  We need a name.  I want to name our little guy Alexander Michael Licht.  Brian is not so sold on that name yet.  Don't worry, he will be, come November!  :)  


My actual due date is December 4, 2012 (Same as my Mom's birthday) - - -BUT, I will be having another C-Section, so it looks like this will be a November baby.  Jacob and Alex baby boy will  be 23 months apart.  We can't wait to meet him!    


OK, so all this testosterone was really starting to get to me, so I did what any pregnant woman would do.  I mixed myself a drink.  A Preggatini, of course.  I don't care if you are pregnant or not pregnant, this has to go on your summer drink menu!  Amazing! (Great idea for a baby shower drink too)
