Clint was speechless, I started to cry and Mom was excitedly asking questions. Being overjoyed when we found out it was a boy is an understatement!!!!
I was so happy yesterday, that it was like finding out I was pregnant all over again and the same feeling when Clint surprised me early with a ring and proposed. Ha – yes we were together 6 years at that point and you can hardly call that early, but it was right when his father was at the sickest so I expected it to be the last thing on his mind at the time. Each and every time I end up so excited I jump in his lap and just give him a big hug – ha- ha. Although yesterday I couldn't' do that since I had goo all over me. ;) I was so happy to hear that the baby looked "great – perfect – and a very good size" I was so worried because I hadn't gained a pound and I was so afraid the baby would be too small or underdeveloped. And when we saw it was a boy – it was too much! I actually teared up - AWE! Clint was so happy he was speechless – he was off the rest of the day and Lord only knows how many cartwheels he turned when he got home. Mom must have called everybody in her cell phone contacts before we even got out of the U/S room.
Not only is Clint the last chance to carry on the Powell name in his family, but I also found out why he wanted a boy so bad. He said, "I was really starting to worry… I know nothing about little girls" – Awe!! I couldn't help but laugh and said you really don't know anything about raising little boys either, this is your first. I think he's terrified of worrying non-stop with a girl (as he noticed my Dad still does ;) But he will now have his fishing buddy!!
NAME: This was so easy for us – the girl's name too. Since I didn't get a girl this time, I'll use it if I ever do have one. Since we saw the...um..."turtle," (so the u/s tech called it) it's Spinner "Dax" Powell. ;)
(Jac Parker said "I like it, but with a name like that you know he's destined to be a wild child). Those of you that knew Clint's wonderful late father know where "Spinner" comes from. Clint really liked the name Dax and when he found out what it meant, he was determined. It means "one who loves the water." Really funny when we told Dr. Goolsby that, because we had just got through asking him if it were okay for me to be in a bass boat when I'm further along. Because of the name meaning and all the questions, he picked up that Clint was a big fisher! He said – "Spinner Dax" I like it, it's a good strong name….and if the next one is a boy again and you get stuck on what to call him, you can just call him "Crank Bait." ; )
So it looks like we will have our little man and both of us couldn't be happier about it. We must have watched that video of the U/S six times last night. And when he would move (which was a lot - like he was already saying let me out of here I ready to go) it was just too too precious! I want to hold him now already.
Funny that the whole time I didn't have a clue what I was having and leaned more towards a girl. The last two days when Clint pressed me for a final say, I just knew it was a boy. Guess that intuition kicked in... Even if it were very last minute. So maybe there's some hope for me yet.
Who thought Boy or Girl: This was b/f the ultrasound....
FOR THE RECORD...
UPDATE on the last UPDATE: Big day is tomorrow and I'm going to officially say that I have changed my mind and am going with a boy - funny thing is that Clint has changed his mind as well... he now thinks girl.
Dan says it's going to be a Tero number 2 and Jac says a boy. Mrs soon to be Cheeky thinks it's a girl too due to the payback. I seem to be hearing that a lot. Why on earth do all these people think I've got a lot of payback coming??? LOL!! hmmm... I wonder... ha-ha.
Oh and if any of y'all know Kenleigh - go check out her pictures if you haven't already - she just had a gorgeous little girl.
For Lizzie, it won't be long - I can't wait to see pictures of her - she's going to be as beautiful as Kenzie, I know it!!

Update from today: One more vote for a girl - from Angela. :)
That makes the count 50/50 at this point.

Original Blog:
I had another dream last week, or the week before and this one was bizarre only this time my baby was a boy, but it was the second baby – not the first. I had a dream that I was 7 mos pregnant with a little girl, but then I became pregnant while I was already pregnant with a little boy. So, they were going to cut my uterus in half when the girl got big enough so the boy could have a little longer (crazy stuff!). While I was getting ready for the big ultrasound to verify it was a boy which for some reason I already knew - strange, I got in a big fight with one of the nurses and they told me I couldn't have it the ultrasound, because of my attitude and that's about the time I woke up.
So my mind is spinning with anticipation, I always wanted my first to be a surprise, but because Clint's got to know and all these crazy dreams and the wives tales I'm dying to know right now who guessed right and who guessed wrong.
This is the tally of who thinks it's what.
Clint's mother (she's got a very freaky talent for seeing things before they happen) thinks it's a girl. She's said that from day one and she's positive. However, this could all be because she has three grandkids already and they are all boys from Clint's Half-sister Diane.
Clint thinks it's a boy and refers to this little munchkin at all times as he.
I however can make myself refer to little one as he. She always comes out of my mouth. I'm just having a hard time thinking it's a boy (despite the one week that I thought it might be) I've just got girl on the mind and it's been very hard to think otherwise before and even after the dreams of the boy. I'll be shocked if it's a boy.
Lizzie- Thinks it's a boy. This mama's on her second so she's far more intuitive than myself I can tell you that now. ;)
Dani – I believe def thinks it's a girl (I heard tell she has a strange knack for guessing right).
So that makes 3 guesses for a girl. 2 for a boy.
My Mom could be the tie breaker, but she says she's wavering… haha. She was thinking girl at first but is starting to wonder if it's a boy. Like Mother like daughter…
Anybody want to be the tiebreaker???
