I had been pregnant many times but never like this!  Usually, there was an uncomfortable feeling on my right side. This was the first time I ever felt uncomfortable on my left side. So, I’m saying to myself, “Should I or should I not tell my husband my thoughts.” I didn’t want to get his hopes up for a “let down,” but after six girls I was sure this was a boy.

I shared my thoughts with my husband, and he said we didn’t have to pick a name for a junior. He was very happy and seemed to float for the next four months until the delivery of our first son.
