Griffin VaughnOk
, so my Momma's Intuition is completely off! Within just a few minutes she announced we were having another boy! You can tell by the picture above (legs in upper right, head in lower left) that YES you are a boy! And a big one at that. Today I am 23 weeks and 5 days. On all the measurements they did on you in the ultrasound (your tummy, femur, head, brain, etc) you measured around 26 weeks 4 days (give or take a day or two). Also, a baby your age should weigh around 1 pound. You were 1lb 15 oz (one ounce away from TWO POUNDS). Your brother was 9lb 7oz when he was born and they say the first is the smallest. You're going to be a Hulk when you come out, but I can't wait!I don't know why I thought you were a girl. You can believe it wasn't because I was "hoping" to have a girl. Of course, it would be completely different having a girl; new clothes, new styles to look for, new hairstyles to try. But the second she announced it was a boy, I thought of Maysen. Then I thought of Daddy. The fun he is going to have with his "boys" will be like the fun Papa had with daddy and Uncle Josh. Camping, football games, wrestling ... all that he gets to experience with you boys now. And that makes me happy.
Watching Maysen growing up I would watch him when Jurny or Jonas were over. He idolized them, watching their every move and trying so hard to copy it. He would eventually say the same things they would - if they were mad, he was mad. I am so excited that you have an older brother to look up to - to idolize - like daddy did with Uncle Josh. I am sure you two will have your moments, fights, punching matches, and yelling competitions ... but what are brothers for? The bond you two will share forever will make up for all that.
So with, my little Griffin Vaughn, know that we are so excited to start welcoming you here. In fact, I bought your crib today. Tonight me and Daddy are going to look at cozy blankets for you to sleep in. We're more than ready for you!
Love you Mr Munchkin,Momma
