…baby boy!!
yes, yes, over the icy streets and throoough the slush, to the doctor’s office we went! and after all the suspense in the whole. wide. world. when a little somebunny wouldn’t spread those leggies, we finally saw the proof [oh, just makin’ daddy proud already!] that baby number two is a bouncing [seriously, bouncing] baaaby boy!
so, after a long afternoon of anticipation and discovery and ice driving nerves, we popped over to the grocery store on the way home to grab some food and a little balloon for maddalena to make it fun when we told her… and of course, she loved the balloon! but she wasn’t surprised in the slightest, since she’d actually already told us the night before that she was “gonna put the baby boy in the bathtub.” π that girl just knows everything, let me tell ya!
anyway, we’re excited!! i have totally wanted to say boy this whole time, just like i wanted to say girl with maddalena… but until we knew for sure, i had to just try to constantly convince myself that it really could be either one! of course, steven and i have always hoped to add a little prince to our mix at some point, so we’re really, really thrilled to be doing just that. i think it’s fun for maddalena, too, now to be identifying a little bit more of this mysteeerious belly-dweller…
…can’t wait to have two silly geese around these parts! and as for names, i am still trying to convince steven that we need to travel back to italy to really decide that for sure. haha. i mean, worked like magic the first time around! π

Ahh!!!! Yay! Congrats!!!! I was totally going to say boy too and I have no idea why! It's so wonderful. As a girl first and then a boy house myself. It's the cutest thing and I have all sorts of emotions thinking about their future. Madd is going to take such good care of her little brother! And yes. Definitely a trip to Italy is in order for a naming thing. So happy for you guys!!

Yaaay! Congratulations! So happy for you! One of each gender right off is so fun!
When I told my niece, who is 7, that we were officially having a girl she was completely not surprised. In her mind she already knew that when I told her I was pregnant, so this just confirmed how smart she is. Haha, I was crushed that she wasn't more excited to finally have a little girl cousin. π
Congratulations again! Boys are super fun!

Congrats! My son is two months old now and a total joy! I hope my next is a girl. It is interesting that your baby is a different gender and you are feeling different this pregnancy! Hope your morning sickness goes away and you feel great for the duration!
