Mark and Big C.
When we found out that we were having a boy I was really nervous. I grew up in a family of all girls (4 of us!). I felt comfortable with girls. My first thought after my ultrasound technician told us he was a boy was a memory of the first time I had dinner at Mark's house 7 years ago. After a very loud (and fun!) dinner the three boys (Mark and his two brothers) got up from the table and started doing something that they fondly call "rumbling". They jumped on each other and started wrestling and grunting and laughing and grunting and tackling and grunting. I was shocked. My first thought was that they were going to get hurt, my second thought was "what is wrong with them?", and my third thought was "I am so glad that I only had sisters!". Although over the years I started to understand their rumbling it always was a little out of my comfort zone (I was never quite sure what to do while they threw each other around!). Anyways....fast forward 7 years and there I was on the ultrasound bed hearing that I was going to be the Momma of a BOY! I could foresee a future of bruises, scrapes, and grunts. I was nervous! Fast forward to today and I couldn't imagine my life without my little man. He is amazing. And I love to see him in his father's arms. I know that he has an awesome role model - not just for things like rumbling (Mark was always the champ;)!) - but in important things like faith, respect, responsibility, and love. So today I can say something I didn't think I would be able to say months ago: "Bring on the rumbling!" because I love being the Momma of a boy! :)
