It's A . . .

We had our Ultrasound on Tuesday May 25 at 8:15 a.m. The whole family came as the kids have been so excited to find out what is in mommy's tummy. They did such a great job being quiet and patient while we waited. Me at 19 weeks

Here's our pictures. Can you tell what it is?Looks like Skeletor!!
Oh . . . first feetie picture!

Hello!!
Oh look at that face!!
The perfect face of a baby BOY!!!!

When the tech told us it was a boy, Coralee and Landon got very upset!! Landon wanted three boys and three girls in our family and Coralee wanted a sister. Coralee said, "He can be wrong". The tech answered, "Yes, we can be".

But the more he looked around the more angles proved it was definitely a boy.

The only thing Steve said to me was, "I'm sorry". I had to call him afterwards and tell him he didn't have to be sorry and that I'm just happy the baby is healthy. That is really all that I want, however, I did really want another girl to dress up and put bows in her hair!!
Also, I thought for sure it was a girl because this pregnancy has been so similar to my pregnancy with Coralee and so different from the pregnancies with my boys. I guess it proves that pregnancies aren't the same.

But, I will say that as soon as we walked back into the room and I laid down on the little bed, I knew it was going to be a boy. My first thought wasn't one of disappointment, it was that we need more righteous men in our world and I am so glad that Heavenly Father has the confidence in me to raise so many fine men.

I'm not sure if I have the confidence yet, but I am working on it and am so excited for the challenge!

Wahoo. Congrats. Isn't funny how sometimes you just know. I'm excited for you guys and hope the best for you. Cameron is out here visiting and it's been good to see him, I can't believe he's 17. Anyway, you're looking good and so is the family.

Congrats on a little boy! You are so right about raising righteous young men--and you're doing a great job doing it!

I would take a boy ocer a girly after having both. But Nash is still little so maybe I will change my mind. Congrats. It's been fun hanging out with cameron we are hitting some roller coasters when they get back from hiking.

So, Tim forgot to tell me that day what you were having, so I woke up at 3am and couldn't go back to sleep because I was wondering what you were having! I almost woke Tim up, but decided he might not be too happy with me! We are so excited that we are having two little boys so close together! Also, you are so tiny! You look great!
