It's a....

BOY!!! :) And he's got quite a kick these days!! It was so exciting to have our ultrasound yesterday. The best part was seeing his little hand opening & closing...so precious!! It was simply amazing. It's nice to be able to say "him" now, too!!

Today was our last day of school, and my wonderful 5th graders completely surprised me with a baby shower!! I was definitely surprised, and I was so amazed at the kindness and number of gifts!! We got lots of little onesies, cute hoodie-towels, socks, diapers....tons of stuff that we will certainly need and definitely enjoy!! I was so touched....what an unforgettable class. And MANY THANKS to LeAnne, Laurie, & Tammy who helped plan it all!!! What wonderful friends!!! :)

That's it for now - more later....just wanted to announce that it's definitely a BOY!!! Yay!!! Now it's time for the name game - but the name won't be announced til birth. :)

  1. YAY! I'm so happy for you both! HE is going to be so lucky to have you for parents. I can't wait to meet HIM!

    Your kids were so sweet to throw you a shower! It must be exciting to have some new items for your little BOY!

  2. Lori, you will love having a little boy. There is nothing quite like it:) Logan has become such a momma's boy...he'll even tell you he is! The connection we have is so so special. I know that Addison and I will be tight, but I think it will definitely be different. Baby boy things are so sweet, and you will be amazed how excited you will soon be about trucks, trains, sports, tools, and all of that fun boy stuff!

    Enjoy the name game, and I LOVE that you are keeping the name the secret. We only told about Addison because of so many people at my school being pregnant. We didn't want to choose a name that someone else was thinking of! We kept Logan a secret until we went into the hospital.

    Best wishes as you continue to prepare for your arrival. Let me know if you need anything or have silly questions!
