It's a...


I am elated to announce that we are having a happy and healthy (and active!) baby BOY! The doctor spent a lot of time with us and is confident that our little boy is perfect in every way. I can't thank everyone enough for your prayers and encouraging words. It was such a comfort to us. I love my nephews and can't wait to have our own little boy! These pics below are of a foot and diaper changing position. You'll have to click on it to see it larger.

I am sooo excited for you! A son! How exciting--any names picked out yet??I can't wait to see the pictures. Maybe one day we can set up my Christine and "Baby X". It won't matter that she's 3 months older!!! That way we can see each other all the time b/c I'm really missing my Lar. Love you...and congratulations! Marcy

Another comment from me:

That first picture looks exactly like Sam did in his 20 week ultrasound with their thumb sucking! He came out sucking that thumb (wanted nothing to do with a paci) and is still sucks now!

I am so excited for you...

OK...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!! =) I'm feeling major heat by my mom who's sick of looking at the same page and now my friends! I've been SO distracted lately that I haven't been blogging, calling, or emailing anyone! I need to blog about my trip but I've been getting home at 8:00 every night and I'm tired! Please don't give up on me just yet... I promise I'll deliver very soon. Why not now you may ask? Because I just got home (it's 9:00) and need to go relax before bedtime. Oh, and Brad...thanks for commenting!! Oh how I miss the old days of going to Wendy's, Taco Bell, etc. after church, and getting advice from you about my high school crushes! =) Great to hear from you!! Take care!

Wendy's and Taco Bell...
You just made me remember an instance in my life I had completely forgot about. Those were the days weren't they? I promise I will never ever forget pretending to be your boyfriend at a fast food chain again. I mean, how could I? Hilarious.
