news news news!

Well, we have news to officially share!


We're expecting a baby in March! We are really excited to add a new little addition to our family. I'm 20 weeks along, so, we already know the gender...
Keep in mind that out of ten grandchildren, Eliza is the only girl in the family. So, in keeping with that masculine tradition, we will be having a
BOY!!
Now we can say that out of 11 grandkids, ten of them are boys in our family. So crazy!
When the ultrasound technician told Jed and I that it was a boy, I was SHOCKED. I just couldn't believe it! Which means, that out of our three kids my 'motherly intuition' has been wrong every single time. Sheesh! But of course we are both so excited about another boy!
When I went to pick up the kids from my friend's house after the ultrasound, Ben immediately asked me, "So, Mom, what is it?" I asked him what he thought it would be and he promptly (and predictably) answered, "A boy!" I told him, "Yes, it's a boy! You're right!" He was very excited and pleased about that! He has been firm about thinking it was a boy all along. Next time I will rely on his opinion instead of my own gut feeling. :)

Well, heavens, we LOVE having boys around our house so we are thrilled with this news. That little Eliza will learn to hold her own being sandwiched inbetween two brothers. How fun!

Brittany said...

Well it's about time you shared the news with everyone!! :) You're half way there - how exciting!! I am SO excited that we are having babies at the same time (almost literally)!! I am dying to know what I'm going to have. You know I wish for a girl but at the same time if it's a boy he would have 2 cousins his age again, just like Gabe. That would be so fun! You better post a picture of yourself soon! Seriously, I want to see! I hate living so far away!
