My Biggest Surprise

7 years ago today, Monte and I were sitting in the hospital that morning talking about how we should probably have a boys name ready "just in case" we had a boy.  We were both pretty sure we were having another girl.  I was absolutely sure of it.  We had a girl's name picked out at 5 months.  This was going to be a girl, I just knew it.  But I wanted to cover all my bases so I suggested Leyton.  (I had been watching the Australian Open that week and Lleyton Hewitt was playing)  We both decided that would be it but we weren't having a boy.....

9 hours later when my OB said "It's a boy"  I was completely dumbfounded.  I actually said "Whaaaaat???"  He repeated "It's a boy"  and I looked at Monte and he confirmed it.  We were the new parents of a bouncing baby BOY!

Leyton-

I am so glad that I was wrong.  You are an amazing little boy and I wouldn't trade you for 100 baby girls.  You were such an easy baby, you slept through the night at 2 weeks old!  You are so smart it scares me sometimes.  You have the best sense of humor, and make me laugh everyday.  You are an amazing big brother to Kye.  He loves you so much and looks up to you.  I know that your big sister picks on you sometimes, but she loves you too.  I can't wait to see the man you will become, but don't grow up too fast on me.
