IT'S A.......

We had our ultrasound this morning and we are proud to say that our baby is healthy and loves to squirm around!!
We are definitely having a BOY!!!

We had the same suspicions as most of you that voted.  I've had that "boy" vibe for a while now, and Briant proudly said, "I knew it!" when the news was announced.  We feel incredibly blessed and can't wait for all that is in store.  We are so excited... especially me because now I can go shopping!!

I loved the ultrasound!  It's so incredible to see all the parts that have developed in this tiny baby.  The technician showed & told us all kinds of details about the brain, heart, stomach, kidneys, spine, feet, face, etc., and I totally soaked up the whole thing.  I'm sure they do that for everyone, but I thought it was intriguing!  A baby really is such a little miracle from the beginning!!!  I feel so thankful to my Father in Heaven for allowing us this incredible opportunity and blessing.  After seeing this sweet little baby it definitely became more real for me.

Okay, I know some of you want to see some pictures!

Profile of his head


His skull... scary!

\
This is his nose and his lips... giving me a kiss (on the right). 
 I'm pretty sure that is his heart as well (those little dark shadows, that look like a S3)
We learned his heart is about the size of the tip of my 
pinky finger... complete with four working valves!!!  WOW!!

His little foot :-)

It was so fun to see this baby again!!  He is very active, and loves swimming around!  Can't wait to meet him!
There have been quite a few people asking where I'm registered.  I thought it would be better to wait until we all knew what I was having.  I'm registered at Target & Babies-R-Us.  I registered for alot of basics and neutral colors because I mainly want to be able to use stuff for future kids :)

Hip hip hooray!!!

When Briant told me today, he was just beaming. I can tell he's so excited. He'll have a hockey buddy and another boy to watch The Bachelor with. :)

Sons are OK! We love ALL of ours. And, of course, daughters are OK too. It's nice to have both kinds. Congratulations!

Briant & Missy,
I forgot to tell you, I loved the picture of his profile, very cute. But my favorite is the picture of his foot. I didn't know they could get all those cute pictures. Very fun for all of us to see.
