New addition!

Ok, I failed to make an announcement post on here, but today we are 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant with baby Merrick #2!  We had the first trimester screening today and they said baby looked perfect.  The Dr. is leaning towards boy, but it's still a little early to be sure.  Baby was a wild man in there...the poor ultrasound tech took 30 minutes trying to get all of her required images because he was rolling around in circles and flipping all over the place.  He has all 10 digits, two hemispheres in his brain, a healthy heart beat, intact spine, and all of the appropriate organs for this gestational age.  I am totally happy with any gender, but I think I breathed an unexpected sigh of relief at the thought of it being another boy.  I have three bothers, I have a son...I am familiar with boys.  I have no idea how to do hair or paint nails and if she was anything like I was as a teenager, she would worry me sick lol.  I would also have to be the bad guy while Daddy is wrapped around her little finger.  This way I get my Momma's boys who will love me even after they go through puberty and Daddy can be the bad guy :).  SO excited, either way...just ready for December to be here!!
