The Results

A very healthy, cute, little boy!
I wish we could watch him all day! It was amazing to see just how developed he really is! He is 5 1/2 inches long, and apparently likes to take very good naps at about 2:00 in the afternoon. We got to see a few wiggles, but he was very sleepy.

We are very happy and grateful to have such a healthy, normal baby boy! We were kind of hoping for a girl, but figured it was probably a boy. I thought I had prepared myself to be just as happy in case it was a boy...well, maybe I wasn't quite as prepared as I thought. I'm not at all sad it's a little boy, but I must admit, I'm a little heartbroken to have to wait longer for the little girl I've always envisioned. Regardless, I know I will (and do) love him just the same :)

Congratulations! That is super super exciting! I told you I was shocked when Carter was a girl, but I can't imagine it any other way now of course! I'm a little jealous you know what the baby is now...

Congrats!! Boys are so fun (yes, I'm biased) I've been thinking about you and wondering... I hoped for a girl too, but things are perfect with my little boy. I agree that having an older brother is great.

Congratulations!!! We are all so excited for you. My girls have been telling people in the ward about it:) Although boys can be exhausting - they can also be very sweet. So exciting!

this is so exciting. I cried when he went shopping for Blake's first outfit because Nick said, "do I need to show you where the little boy clothes are" Have you thought of any names yet?

Hey, what exciting news! I was thrilled to hear about the new addition to your family. Really, you are going to just love having a little guy around the house! What a great Christmas present to find out what you're having. I hope I get to meet him someday! And cute pictures too. You guys look great!

We are so excited for you. I have to admit I haven't been on the computer much lately and didn't pay close attention to my mom's Christmas cards this year so I just found out! Little boys are the best! I love having a little boy and although I think I want a little girl someday, I don't think I would mind if all my kids were boys. You will have so much fun. Also, in talking with Lyndsie we decided boys are not quite as expensive because they need less accessories and you have to search harder to find just the right outfit instead of buying out the store. So there is my 2 bits. Congrats again!
