  115. OH MY GOODNESS! I keep meaning to write something to you! We are both pregnant! how awesome! & a boy! to love star wars! you guys must be over the mooon!?! How exciting!!! you make me want to cry! I want a boy so bad cuz I too have girls and to finally have a boy must be so amazing! (Well when he is here I too understand that pregnancy is hard I have been sick with constant nausea =/ & that until the baby is born you hope & pray n love n cherish every moment every kick because it's not guaranteed &then even after they are born you have to fear of SIDS for a year & other things. It's plain crazy because most ppl don't think of miscarriages, still borns, & all the bad that can come with having babies well I sure didn't until it happened to me, & both my SIL's but one her son died in the womb because of a heart defect & fluid in the brain. I prolly should of posted this on your other topic about not celebrating until the baby is here. I prolly ruined the good vibes and I'm going to make it up to you &do you have any names picked out? Your girls are going to be so excited to have a baby brother! & then when he gets older he will protect the girls & you of course! Boys are usually mommas boys! Plus Jason can teach em to shoot as cheerios in the toilet! guys get all the fun sometimes no fair! lol jk It sure makes it easier if your out in the woods or camping! haha I'm so happy for your family! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is a breeze!
