Well, last Tuesday we started the Thanksgiving holiday by going to the doctor for an ultrasound. We found out that we are going to be having a baby BOY!!!! We are thrilled! Payton didn't act surprised or really excited. She really wanted a "brudda" but I think she thought that since she wanted it, that she would get what she wanted. So when she heard, she was just like, yeah, we know that already. Too funny! Maci, on the other hand, reacted with excitement first and then remembered that she wanted a girl and got really pouty about it. She is happy about it now, but we had to convince her that not all boys are really messy and really wild. (a little white lie to make her happy ;)) Alan was beyond thrilled!! Before we got pregnant, he really wanted another girl (if we had anymore) but once we actually got pregnant, he decided he really wanted a boy. We have been calling him Blake since the moment we found out we were expecting. I just had a feeling about this one. :) Well, I am 17 weeks along now and the baby is looking really good. Thankfully the subchorionic hemorrhage is also GONE!!! How awesome is that!! I have an appointment next week to hear the full report of my ultrasound, but everything seemed to be great. We couldn't be more excited! We celebrated by filling up Blake's closet! I've never shopped on "that" side of the store before, and was really not looking forward to it. However, I had a ton of fun shopping for this little guy! We are so blessed and really hoping the spring flies by so that we can meet this little one as soon as possible!! Thank you all for all your prayers during the rough part of this pregnancy! God is sooooo good!!!
