IT'S A......





That's right it's a BOY! I had a feeling that it was so I bought this shirt last week just for today!
More importantly we are thankful that our little guy is healthy and has all his major organs and is growing strong. He weighs 1 lb and is on target for his due date. We can't wait to see what a little boy will look like. The girls are very excited, especially Gracie. Thanks for being excited with us! Gracie was gone so I had to take these pictures so they aren't the best but you get the idea.

Here is a profile of him. It's hard to see. He is breech and very curled up! If you look closely, you can see that his foot is above his head and his knee is on his forehead. Doesn't sound too comfy! They had a hard time doing the ultrasound because of the way he is curled up but all looked well and we could see it was a boy so that is good!
Here is a look at his face right on. You can see his eyes, nose, and mouth.
Here is his little foot.
Here is the evidence! Tony asked her, "are you sure it's not the cord?" She said, "No, that's the boy part!!!" I sure can tell! I knew the minute I saw it, it was kind of fun. We've never found out before so it was exciting! So, here is our little guy!

So last winter I went shopping and they had a great deal at Old Navy. I knew we were thinking of a baby and so I went ahead and bought a few things. I figured if I didn't use them, someone would. Well, now it's going to be so fun using them!

This morning we I went to tell Alison she was all prepared for me! It says, "Thank Heaven for Little Boys" She also bought some truck material to make a boy quilt. Way to go Allie!


Cute little grasshopper outfit and blinket I bought. It's going to be fun buying different kinds of clothes.

A huge congratulations for all of you! I had voted a "girl" and am usually right on these things, but not this time! Great to hear that he is healthy and growing well! You had excellent ultrasound photos. You can really see his face! Sooo neat! Love the clothes - neat that you already have some things for him! Keep taking good care of yourself!

Hals,
I am sooooo excited that you will not have to dress another baby in pink and purple!! It is so refreshing. Also, could you really do one more hairdo in the morning. Boys are GREAT!!! Congrats

Congratulations! Now, you can experience parenthood with a boy! I hear boys are way different to raise than girls, but I wouldn't know. I am also glad to hear that he is healthy and on target!
