And it's a ....

Well, after coming to the conclusion that the Lord was trying to teach me patience and we just were not going to be able to find out the sex of the baby, we had a surprise ultrasound last Thursday. I really was doing okay with not knowing, and was kind of beginning to understand why people might choose not to know. The anticipation is kind of fun. But when the ultrasound technician asked me if I wanted to know if the baby was a boy or a girl, my true feelings on the subject came out, as I said in a voice as loud as you can use in a doctor's office "YES!!!". And clear as bell on the screen was our little boy's bottom!

We are so excited for Everett to have a little brother! I know that they will be so close growing up and such good friends! The other day Everett asked me if the baby could crawl out now because he wanted to play. (Don't I wish he would crawl out!) After I explained to him that the baby would be too little to play when he was born, he said "That's okay. I just rock him". Hopefully he will continue this affection towards him once the baby is taking up some of Mom's time!
