We're Having a......

BOY!!!

We wanted our parents and family to find out first, but also wanted to do something fun other than just tell them over the phone.  So to Pinterest I went.  I thought this was pretty fitting since both my mom and I are obsessed with everything chocolate.





Our ultrasound wasn't until 4:30 in the afternoon so I had to be prepared.  I made a "he" and a "she" Hershey bar and we took pictures with both, went to the appointment and then right to the post office so mom would find out as soon as possible.  Then had to keep a secret for a couple days.  (Bonus - I had an extra Hershey "she" bar....yummy)

But my mom received her little surprise in the mail today, so the word is out.  Lincoln James Reeser is a healthy, extremely active little guy.  I was getting a little nervous since I haven't felt a ton of movement.  But, boy, do we have a little mover and shaker in there.  The ultrasound tech had a hard time getting good pictures of him because he was moving so much.  I thought at first it was her pushing around on my belly.  But at one point she finally held still and said, "just watch him."  I said to Hal, "oh no, we're in TROUBLE!!"

It was so fun to just watch him and see all the details that are still being formed.  He was on the screen for a good half hour.  I wish I could see that every day. 

We are thanking the Lord that so far everything looks normal and we have a healthy baby boy that we are dying to meet!!

  9. Congratulations! I am so happy for your growing family. And yes, with that kind of movement in the womb, you could be in trouble. :) But little rascal boys keep you in shape and on your knees. They also can be very affectionate. It still ends up a blessing!
