Yes We Can!

A popular sentiment these days, granted, but I am not referring to our President-elect in any way. This exclamtion of joy is referring to that question that was on everyones mind these past few months...."Can Patrick and Stacy conceive a child?"

YES WE CAN!

About 5 weeks ago, Stacy found she was feeling a little under the weather and thought to herself, "could we?" So off she rushed to the bathroom, and sure enough...Yes we can! Needing to tell someone right away, and me not being home, Stacy confided in Wrigley, who was very excited to hear she would become a big sister. Either that, or she thought she was getting a treat. We can't be too sure. Stacy decided to come to work and tell me the great news. She rushed off to the mall, and stopped by the Sports Fanatic to make a quick purchase. When she arrived at my office, she handed me the present she had just purchased. A Chicaog Cubs onesie. "Why did you buy this," I asked thinking we had agreed on no baby clothes until we were sure we were pregnant no matter how cute or cheap they may be. Stacy just looked at me. "Why do you think," she exclaimed. My eyes lit up and I asked, "Could we be?"

YES WE CAN!

I know the next question everyone wants to know is, when is the big day. Well, we still don't know. The wonderful insurance from school district U-46 won't let our doctor do the ultrasound, so we had to swing by the hospital today to get that taken care of so they can estimate the date by the size of the baby. But wouldn't you know it, the hospital has to send the info to the doctor in 2-3 business days, so we wont know until Wednesday or so. But please check back for the updated info then.

After that, the big question will be, boy or girl. About 20 weeks is when we can say for sure. Let me preface by saying, either way this child will be the most loved child in the world. I am feeling girl. Sally is PRAYING for a girl. Brad is convinced girl, after his half-assed Fremd High School theory. Can I do it? Can the first of a three boy family actually produce the daughter my mother has always wanted?

YES WE.....hope.

Half-assed Fremd Theory? Sarah Wristen had three girls. Melissa Haig had two? girls. Sarah Freda had a girl. Debbie Burris had a girl. I had a girl. Everyone is having girls. And you think it's a half-assed theory? Maybe if there was a boy in there to throw off the cycle, it could be half-assed, but right now it's full-assed.
Plus, I'm seeing reports that apparently more girls are being born these days than boys. So, get used to pink buddy ole pal, cause you're having a girl.
