Baby News

Well, I am halfway through this pregnancy and still doing wonderful! We had our 20 week ultrasound last Thursday to find out how the baby is growing and see what we are having. Boy or Girl?!? Landon has been convinced that he wanted a baby sister until last week. He changed his mind to a baby brother so he could teach him how to "throw ball, hit homerun, color in coloring books, and play in playroom!" Of course, his exact words!
He woke up on Thursday morning excited to see the baby and mommy's doctor. My doctor's office is neat in that they have a huge big screen for you to see the ultrasound as the technician is doing her thing. (like a movie) She told us each part of the baby as we were watching the movie because I didn't have a clue what I was looking at the whole time. I found the backbone and heart because that was pretty obvious. After she told us that everything looked healthy and great, she asked if we wanted to know what we were having. Yes! She immediately showed us that we are having a BOY!!! We told her that our first priority was to find a healthy baby but we really wanted another boy. So, we are all 3 excited to welcome another little boy into our family of sports and anything ball.
As we were getting the ultrasound pictures and leaving, Landon started to whine. Jason asked him what was the matter. He said, "where the baby? Him come out of mommy's tummy!' He thought that we were going to the doctor to get the baby and take him home. We explained (on a toddler level) that the baby has to continue to grow and Jason added that mommy has to get bigger too! Thanks baby!!! Landon was okay with our explanation and moved on very quickly!
As I lay there on the ultrasound table, I couldn't help but think of our little China doll that will be our daughter in a few years. Our only little girl with 2 wonderful big brothers to welcome her into our family, protect her as she gets older, teach her how to play ball, and love her as a sister! We continue to know that God has a huge plan for our family and she will be a part of our family in His timing!
No, we haven't thought of any names yet. We will keep you posted!
