It's A Boy!!!

We were very excited to finally find out who would be joining our family! I believe the way we found out were these exact words "and there's a pee pee" Ha! I guess that's a nice way of saying it? We are both amazed and excited and trying to imagine what it will be like to have a boy after having a girl. Lorelei sat well for most of the ultrasound, and eventually got this balloon because she kept on saying "ball" and pointing to it...now it is quite the favorite toy around the house. Of course we also found out that this little boy has a cleft lip. We are anxious for our appointment this coming Wednesday to find out more details with a more specialized ultrasound to know what we are up against. We appreciate all your prayers and support!

Apparently Lorelei's little brother will keep up with her just fine, because he was very active during the ultrasound, so we didn't really get any cute shots. It looked about as easy as trying to get a picture of Lorelei with your cell phone...and we saw some great views but she just couldn't seem to get them into pictures for us. Hoping maybe we can get some at the next ultrasound as well.

We had planned to go to the Botanical Gardens to make it a fun family day together since Brad took the day off, but the clouds stayed overhead and it was pretty chilly, not exactly great walking around in the garden weather, so we just came home and hung out. Got a few cute pics of Lorelei and Brad.

As for what Lorelei thinks of having a little brother, she is happy and gives my belly kisses. The cute story of that would be when I said "oh yay now I can do a jungle nursery!" She excitedly yelled "YEAH!" and threw her arms up. Ah my little shopper and decorator. :) We'll see if we agree on her little brother's room choices. :)

Side note: We are leaving tomorrow for a trip to Sesame Place for the weekend! We will leave early Friday morning to try and make it to The Crayola Factory, which is just about 15 minutes from Sesame Place, so we couldn't pass up a chance to see crayons being made. :) Then Saturday and Sunday will be a fun filled weekend with nothing but Elmo, Abby and our many other SS friends. :) Make sure you listen for the screams of excitement at about 10 AM. :) It is basically Disney World for Sesame Street fans. :) Here is the link if you want to see where we are going. Many pictures soon to come!
