WE'RE HAVING A...

BOY! You may be thinking, "Oh wow-- are they in shock?" The correct answer is "YES!" But we know that God already knew what our family was going to look like before we had any ideas of even having a family. So-- though we're currently a bit tearful (ok that's a little of an understatement for me) today, we are for sure excited and blessed by the fact that God has given us a healthy little boy who is growing really well! We'll keep you posted on the latest and greatest from here on out.

Any boy name suggestions, anyone?! I always loved the name Will. However, I think Will Wilson would be almost as bad as Dr. Don Donald Donaldson (poor guy!). I guess the only thing worse would be Will William Wilson....haha!

Love you all!

We find out TODAY... hopefully!

Hi everyone!

Just letting you all know that my appointment got moved from 5 o clock this afternoon to 11 o clock this morning. I am soooo excited to (hopefully) be able to find out what we're having! Check back on the blog tonight after I've had a chance to write the news!

We're picking Ian up from school early so that he can be there for the ultrasound too. We WOULD be taking Tyler along, but he has Chicken Pox!!!!! Poor little guy. So- I guess we'll be celebrating at home today. :-)

Love you all!

Almost 14 Weeks

Hi girls,

So-- I had a doctor's appointment about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and when the doc did the ultrasound (they do them every appointment here), he seemed to think that the baby looks like a boy. Needless to say, Steve and I looked at each other with stunned faces as if to say both, "What did we do?!" and "Tell us it isn't so!" But, the doctor concluded that we should wait until my next appointment to decide. I was only 11 weeks at the time...seems pretty early. So.... I am warming up to the idea of a boy (I want to be happy either way!) and I really do know that what God has for us is absolutely the best! I know He will be faithful to help me if I end up with three! I just may dress the third one in pink! haha!

I'm starting to show just a little bit, but mostly just to the point that I look chubby. So- I'll spare you pictures until I have a little more of a pregnant belly. :-) I'm not in maternity clothes yet, thankfully, since that stage seems to last quite a while!

Though I'm not yet feeling baby move, when I'm laying down on my back, I'm able to feel where the baby is from the outside and when he/she moves to another spot. What a miracle and a blessing it is to carry God's creation in me-- one in which we got to take part!!!! So cool....

I have another appointment on September 18th (oh wait- Steve's going to Mexico City...I have to change it.... so it may be on like the 15th). I'll write an update then, especially since we should know what we're having by that point!!!! Yippeee!
