It's a BOY!





it's week 22 of my pregnancy and we had our big revealing ultrasound yesterday. we found out that we are having another little boy, a brother for finley! they were able to confirm that my previous due date was accurate - october 21. and, that he is healthy, strong and has all his parts! thank God!


i asked if he was going to be enormous at birth like finley (9.5 lbs). the doc said that the baby was measuring average sized for now, according to head measurements, but that the baby usually grows into its abdomen size by the time of birth. this baby's current abdomen size is in the 85th percentile, so he'll definitely be on the large size. with all his large measurements, i looked up at the screen and asked, "what is that 8th percentile measurement?" and of course, it was his leg length. yes, 8th percentile. so he'll be just like his big brother, with huge head, shoulders and stomach and teeny short shrimp legs. thankfully finley's legs grew to catch up and hopefully this baby's will too.

OHOHOHOH!!!!
YES!!!
You know that I LOVE little boys and am so darn excited that you are still a "boy-haver"! (not that a girlhaver is bad in anyway, but you certainly make darling little boys!)

I love you and your BOYS - all 3!
