It's a...

After having a surprise delivery with Jack, we decided to try a little something different with LBD #2.  So last Thursday, at 17 weeks along (above), we got the good news.  Unfortunately, Christian was out of town so I had the doc put the results in an envelope and then I had to wait an entire day and a half to find out.  I have to tell you, the wait was excruciating!  I had a bakery fill the cake with blue or pink icing and we'd find out what we're having when we cut it open when Christian got home. So without further ado....drum roll please....LDB #2 is a...

IT'S A BOY!!!!!

After a slight moment of panic at the thought of having two very active boys as we enter our late 30s, Christian and I got very excited at the prospect of giving Jack a little bro.  I imagine they will be best buds like William and Harry!  And I've loved having a son so two will be double the blessing.  I just told Christian that this is all the more incentive to stay healthy, active and youthful so we can keep up with our beautiful boys!  I see many nights at the ball park and lots of broken bones in my future.  After we found out we told Jack that it was a baby brother and then called our families to share the good news.  When we asked Jack to tell his uncle Jess what we were having, his response was..."CAKE!"  I'm guessing he doesn't quite get it yet.  But soon enough, he will.

I have to tell you it was really special to find out this way and we captured the whole thing on video.  Now we can call the baby he instead of it.  Each day it sinks in more and more that we will have a new amazing son in our family.  God has truly blessed us.  I just keep saying "me and my boys."  It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
