The Class That Shall Not Be Named..

Zane loves Gymnastics! He has been doing it for a while now and it is totally his calling! He is really good at it! He is in the Beginning Boys class even though you technically are supposed to be 6 (he is still only 5) and he is by far the best kid in that class. I don’t say that as a bragging mother (okay a little bit..)he really is very focused on being really good. Well, after class one day his teacher had Zane stay behind and called over the boys coach. She had Zane show off some of his smooth moves, including his amazing handstands. We once bet Zane he couldn’t stand on his head over a minute, he did it that day. The coaches talked for a couple minutes and then walked Zane over where they told Ian that there is a special class for Summer called Hotshots that they want to put him in. Apparently, this is a super big honor (and super secretive).
When I went to talk to the receptionist about the class, she acted like she had never heard of it. She kept looking at me suspiciously while I stumbled around trying to figure out if I had gotten the name wrong. Finally, I told her the day and time I thought the class was supposed to be, and only then did she open her book and write Zane’s name down. She looked at me mysteriously and said, “If you don’t know the day and time, your not supposed to be there..”
I had no idea Zane’s Gymnastics was run by the Mob!*

Well apparently I have no intuition when it comes to my own body! Zane got his wish and he is going to have a Little BROTHER!!! He is super stoked! There was a little shock adjustment period for Ian and I, but now we are ecstatic! I will gladly be the Queen over a household of boys!
More Super Amazing News-We picked a name! With Zane we had his name the second we found out he was a boy. Having a name makes me feel like the baby is real and a part of our family already!
Drumroll Please…….
Rocky Machoian Graham!!!!!! (okay his actual first name is going to be Rockwell, Ian insisted he have a serious first name in case he wants to be President or a Serial Killer or something….)
We Cannot Wait to Meet Him!

This pregnancy has been very, very different from my first. First off, we planned this one. Zane was a terrifying surprise that came only a couple months after we got hitched. Don’t get me wrong, he is the best surprise we have ever been given, but we were pretty much scared shitless when we found out I was expecting. In our defense we were 19, poor and newlyweds. This time we are 26, poor, and an old married couple.
Pretty much from the second I found out I was pregnant with this baby I have been super sick. Super, not able to get out of bed or keep down water sick. Finally after about 8 weeks of feeling like this new baby already hated me, my wonderful midwife put me on some medication that has made a huge difference. I am starting to feel like my old self again If only my midwife would stop giving me so much crap for not gaining enough weight and I would be a happy girl!

Yesterday I cleaned my stove. JUST BECAUSE I WAS BORED. This is highly out of character for me. My daycare has really slowed down, I am down to 4 part time kids which pretty much equals 2 full time kids. Now that I am home all day I am really settling into a good routine. The only downside to this routine is its working too smoothly. My house is always clean, my errands are done, my to do list is pretty much non-existant. This leads to a lot of free time. I have a good bunch of kids right now that pretty much can play with each other without my immediate supervision, so that leaves me a lot of time. Time that can’t be spend doing really intensive things, I can’t be reading a book or watching TV, but I can clean the stove. It looks amazing. I had no idea it was black underneath all of those half cooked macaroni pieces….

**Thinking Pink**

I have been pregnant for a little over 4 months now! While I wouldn’t say it has exactly sunk in yet, I am getting more used to the idea of a little one around here. One thing I am having a hard time with, however, is every time I picture the baby, or us as a 4 person family in the future, the baby is ALWAYS a girl. ALWAYS. Not once have I imagined Ian and I and our two rambunctious sons wreaking havoc on everything in sight. No, when I picture the future I picture Ian and I watching Zane play with his sweet little precious sister. There is a lot of cooing and baby talk and pink. We even have her name, Matilda. We don’t have a boys name. We barely have a maybe, if we don’t think of anything better, boys name.
Now, I am only 16 weeks. It is very possible that this baby is a boy. In fact, I have been told that there is a 50% chance it is a boy. Although, those statistics seem highly implausible. Honestly, I am not really interested in Science’s opinion on the sex of my future baby. I am much more interested in what the Chinese Gender Prediction Calculator thinks.
According to my Lunar age and my month of conception this baby will be a Girl. Also, according to this calculator, Zane is also a girl. So I guess the calculator is not right ALL of the time. In fact, google Chinese Gender Calculator and click on any of the sites listed and you will find out the calculator is correct a whopping 50% of the time! I don’t know about you, but those are good enough odds for me!
Off to buy pink wallpaper!!
