We're excited to announce that...


We had our ultrasound appointment this morning. It was so amazing to see our little baby on the big screen! It took the tech a while to get a good look between the legs because the baby was moving like crazy! But it only took one shot to know that we are going to be having our little boy! The tech kept making jokes about how hyper active he was. She kept asking me what I ate this morning & if I had any O.J. or coffee. I said, "It looks like he is just like his dad & can't sit still." She said he had fetal ADHD. :) He is healthy & growing & developing just great! We can't wait to meet this little fellow!

Congrats! Boys are so much fun. Now Doug can start day dreaming of camping and fishing and paint balling and shooting hoops and coaching t-ball and scouting and playing catch and playing pranks on mom, and a million other things with his little guy.

Matt and Vicki said...

Congrats you two! Matt and I are so excited for you.

I haven't quite smiling since you called this morning. Dad won the bet - he said all along it was going to be a boy so did Grandma Faye. My heart is filled with joy and we're so glad he is healthy and doing well.

Congrats!! I am so excited for you guys! I saw Doug right afterwards (I dropping something off at Steph's and he was picking up Travis) so I heard the good news then...he was grinning from ear to ear when he told me. He told me about the tech saying that the baby had fetal ADHD and I said he must be just like his dad!! It was fun hanging out with you guys for Easter--I still laugh so hard when I think about Doug and Chubby Bunny...good memories!

I am SO excited for you! I love little baby boys. As for the fetal adhd, just wait until he gets bigger and then starts really kicking.

congrats!! boys are great! trey was all crazy and wouldn't hold still for my ultrasound too. we almost didn't get to find out what he was. the good thing about babies like that is you never stop feeling them move so you never have to worry!
