we are officially going to be the house boys and i have accepted the fact that i will always be outnumbered! i pretty much knew it was going to be a boy, but everyone else had some hope for me!! jack was the most disappointed. when our sonographer (anne) announced it was a boy, jack said "awwwwww, i wanted a girl baby"!!
everything looks healthy in our baby boy. anne said he's a very active baby. he could hardly sit still for her to get measurements. he also showed that he preferred his left hand. anne was willing to bet that we will have a left hander. his left hand was up at his face the whole time, sucking fingers and playing with his nose or mouth. i've read a few stats that show which hand babies prefer in utero is very likely to be the dominant hand, so we'll have to see in a few years! we are all very excited for this little boy to join our family, but need some help on the name. post comments with your suggestions!
ps. jack's name for the baby right now is robot!!
i love nate's cute little face under his helmet!
our neighbor has an owl on their fence. i think the boys think it's real. the head moves around and every time it looks at them they scream and run away!
we know jack's pouty face all too well! i wonder if he gets that look from me or johne?
johne has been letting the secret out so i thought i would post. he is so excited he can't contain himself!!! :) i wanted to wait until i was 12 weeks, but that didn't stand a chance! i will be 9 weeks on friday and yes, i've been sick. not only with morning sickness (all day), but with pneumonia. i've managed to make it through the last month with super daddy's (johne) help. he has taken over all my responsibilities~cooking (well we had a lot of take out), cleaning, taking care of the boys and more~ as well as take care of me and he even managed to work a little. a big thanks to melissa who took the boys for an afternoon, to kimber who took the boys 2 whole days and to the madrishins who took the boys several times!! i probably would have landed in the hospital or the nut house without everyone's help!!! i'm starting to feel a little better partly due to the magic pill (zofran, i don't know why i didn't try it with my last 2 pregnancies) and partly because the pneumonia is starting clear up. thanks again to everyone who helped, especially my sweet hubby!!! oh yeah, and i'm due september 10th!
choo choo train tracks from santa, the boys will still play with them for hours!
this pic is for my brother nate and one the few pics johne was in!
