Oh Boy!

Photobucket
Well…..I was right! It’s a boy! There’s no doubt about it…within seconds of our ultrasound our little man showed his bits and we knew! We are excited to have a little boy on the way! And the best part? He’s perfect! Such a relief to these parents to be!
As you can tell, the husband is a little excited to teach his son how to throw an baseball and football. I have a feeling I’ll be attending a ton of sports activities in my future!
My mom and I shopped our little hearts out but surprisingly showed a lot of restraint. We know we have so much time to buy for this little guy!
 Of course I teased you on instagram…..I had to!
Our baby boy loot. Can’t wait to dress our little man up!
Thank you to everyone for your sweet comments on here and on instagram! You are the BEST!

    Congrats on Team Blue! Everytime someone reveals the sex of the baby it makes me a little sad that we chose not to find out the sex, but I'm hoping the surprise at the end is all worth it!

    Boys are the best! And if your little man is anything like mine he will love all things sports! Since my son could sit up he has loved to watch any sport on TV and now that he's almost 2 he's always got a ball in his hands. 🙂 Congrats! Plus boys love their momma's the most.

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023

Girlology has grade-level playlists and videos for every age and stage, whether your daughter is in 3rd grade, like mine, and just getting ready for puberty all the way through the teen years.
