Announcement

So here is the official announcement...I'm pregnant! Our family has known for quite some time (since I was 4 weeks-with 5 sisters I have to tell someone besides Danny), but we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to make the official announcement. Mostly because I was playing soccer and didn't want them to kick me off the team :) Then it was only a few more weeks until the Ultrasound, so here are the pictures...

We're pretty excited to finish up with another boy. I knew that this one was a boy, and it was nice to have it confirmed {although I didn't share that with the kids so that they didn't get their hopes up; Danny made that mistake with Gabriela :)} Emalyn shouted it out in the Ultrasound room just as we were getting started. The tech was showing the kids the brain and the heartbeat, and Ema shouted "boy! boy! boy! boy!", totally out of the blue, while pointing to the tech's hand holding the transducer on my belly. I thought she was calling the tech a boy (which she didn't look like at all), until I saw where she was pointing. About 5 minutes later it was confirmed and the tech was impressed with our intuitive 21 month old :)

I'm currently 19 weeks, 4 days, and I am due April 1st. The sonogram measured the baby a few days ahead, which would put me due at the end of March, but I won't get my hopes up :) He was VERY active, which made it difficult to get good measurements, but he slowed down a little at the end. He was pretty shy as well and kept burying his face in the placenta and wouldn't let us see his face (thank goodness he wasn't shy about showing off his bladder and boy parts). We managed to get a profile shot right at the last minute after laying on my right side, then my left, then my back again, then my right again...Bottom line, he looks as healthy as can be and we're so grateful.
