Whoopeeee!!! A BOY!

We have been waiting for several weeks now to find out what our future grand baby is going to be and appears that we will have a grandson. Whoopeeeee a boy!! The doc said he was 90% sure, but I am always leary as they thought Josh was going to be a girl. Sooooo don't cut tags off any baby clothes. That was a warning from the doc.

It is important for everyone in the Anderson family for Josh and Randi to have a boy. (No pressure, guys!) Jim was an only son and his Dad, Rudy was also the only boy in his family. Albert Edward Anderson, from Sweden, was Rudy's Dad and he had a brother, Aaron and he had no children....so for the Anderson name to go on we need a boy.....this time or next....or the next...... You get the picture. (side note....we nearly named Josh, Aaron. Aaron Anderson has a nice ring to it, don't ja think?...hint hint...haha.)

I guess because I just had one boy I was hoping for a boy anyway.....I sorta know what to expect with boys. I find myself remembering stuff about Josh that I had forgotten. He was a rough and tumble sorta kid who liked to wrestle in the middle of the floor and get dirty. His first word was bah... BALL. He loved to play with balls. We rolled them and threw them and chased them around our back yard in Illinois. When he would be outside for a while he would smell like a little puppy dog. Hahaha.... good times! There is nothing more intoxicating to a Mom than to bury her nose in her child's hair and suck in his essance no matter how stinky. It is the strangest thing. I believe Eve, the first Mom, would smile and nod if she could read this.

We have about 5 more months to wait. I know how time flies, so it won't be so bad. (I am trying to convince myself.) I am praying so many things for this little boy and for his Mommy and Daddy, too. That might be another post sometime.
