We thought we would give you something to smile about on this dreary Wednesday afternoon (at least it’s dreary here in Nashville). As we shared last month, we are expecting another baby. I’m not someone who likes the idea of being surprised during delivery with the baby’s gender (sounds too stressful), so we chose to find out with this one, just like we did with Little Buddy.
And, our baby is…
A boy!
We are thrilled for Little Buddy to have a brother, and we look forward to watching their relationship grow.

Congratulations! Brothers are the best! My husband and I had our rainbow baby this year and he absolutely adores his older brother. The older brother loves playing with him and constantly has to know where he is. You will have so much fun.

I’m so glad to hear that! And congratulations on the birth of your rainbow baby 🙂

Congrats Ellie and Mr H. Little Buddy will have a wonderful playmate and friend for life. I guessed a girl, but I am just as happy about this news as if I was right! Just think that everything you already have cane be used for baby, Buddy #2.
This is Eileen

Thank you, Eileen! Yes it is incredibly convenient to be able to reuse everything. Saves on storage space, LOL.

Why couldn’t you reuse everything for a girl?
Ellie
All of our bigger items (bouncer, swing, etc) are gender neutral, so I could definitely reuse those, as well as bottles and things of that nature (although some of those things I might buy new anyways). I do have a few gender neutral clothes, but the majority of them are very “boyish.”

Congratulations! Brothers are special. (As well as sisters, but I only have one girl.) Having 6 boys, it’s amazing watching their relationships blossom. It’s like your best friends live with you.
I would have guessed a girl, but I’m happy for you.
It’s a cold and dreary day here in NC too.

When we were expecting our 2 our son kept telling me it was a baby sister, he had me convinced that I was having a girl. When we found out he was a little disappointed he said but mommy I wanted a baby sister. I told him that God sent us what he thinks our family needs and right now he thinks our family needs a baby brother. Then I told him how much fun it will be having a baby brother. Now the two are best friends, and they do fight like cats and dogs but there is a special bond between brothers that is so special to see. I love having two boys. I still hope that when we try for our 3rd and last baby it will be a girl but I would love another son just as much as the two I have now. I’ve had people ask if we will keep trying for a girl if the 3rd one is a boy and I told them no after 3 tries and I get all healthy boys I will feel truly blessed, yes I might grieve the fact that I’ll never have a daughter, but that’s okay and I know I’ll have the prefect family either way. Congrats on the baby boy

First, praying for a continued healthy pregnancy and safe delivery🙏. Second, congratulations on a 💙Little Pal 💙 joining the family. Boys are the best, Lol!
Our oldest boys are 32 and 35, and are younger boys are 21 and 16. They are friends for life. My 21 year old is off at college, and he texts or calls his younger brother everyday😊.
I know that the name game is very individual- but I teach and have a student with a unique name with some biblical origin- I had not heard it as a name before : Eben- pronounced EE-Ben or EH-Ben- so thought I would share💙

Congratulations Ellie! I’m so happy for you!!! Two little boys that’s so fun! My family has 8 girls and my mom is due with another baby this April! When will we find out how far along you are?

What lovely, lovely news. I have (as I’ve mentioned here before) three boys… being a boy mama is a very specific thing. It a club- we recognise each other almost by sight. And boys are awesome. I haven’t totally decided against rolling the dice one more time (to see if my elusive daughter might decide to exist…) but I am satisfied with my wonderful family.
You know, I have learnt a lot of stuff I never thought I’d know…

Congratulations Ellie and family! How wonderful that Little Buddy will have a best friend for life in his little brother 💕 my first and second (and third) are boys and I just love watching them bond (and fight 😬). I’m so happy this pregnancy is going well for you. Your family is in my prayers 🙏🏻
Leina
