I am proud to introduce, via ultrasound, baby Mangum the 3rd. Yesterday was the big ultrasound and it's always such a relief to hear that baby appears to be healthy and strong. Stubborn though. I quite literally had to stand on my head to get him to move enough to see his spine well. Well, not completely literally, it was more of a modified downward dog yoga pose. And don't worry, i waited until the tech was out of the room so I didn't look like a crazy lady, but we really didn't want to try to afford a second visit.
After having two boys I was pretty convinced that this one was going to be my girl. This pregnancy has been way different than the last two in that I feel so much better, so I figured that was a sure sign. Not the case though. We are having another little boy! At one point a friend of ours, August, made a comment to Anthony that we were building an army of outdoorsmen. Who knew how true that statement would be? So, Anthony is thrilled with his growing army and I can say I only felt a fleeting disappointment that this time I would not be getting my girl. The boys I already have are so wonderful that I am just excited to meet this new precious baby boy.
