this little sweetie was not shy or difficult. it was quite easy to see that it's a ...

boy! a BOY! a Boy! a boy! a BOY!
the genetic trend in my family is we never have more than two of the same sex in a row. so i thought we would probably have a boy...but then again i have so many friends who have 3, 4, and 5 in a row of the same sex. so i had to consider having another girl. jayson had thought multiple times that he'd be the father of all girls. and for the record, he was happy about this. many times when people heard i was pregnant, they would tell jayson they'd be praying that he'd get a boy, or they hoped he got it right this time, etc. i say to you: blah blah blah. girls kick butt. either way we would be ecstatic.
and we are thrilled that we will have a boy in the family. this brings with it several new experiences and aspects of being a parent. we welcome these experiences and are sure it will bring more dimension and love into our house.
jayson has already pulled out all of his signed jerseys and footballs and is telling me where he is going to hang them in the nursery. he keeps telling me all of the things he is going to need now that he will be the father of a boy. and how old he will be when junior goes to scout camp.
oh, and he keeps asking me what i think of the name lavell.

Lavell? Really? That's like us naming our daughter (if we ever have one) Naomi. Whatever the little tykes name is that you two choose, it will be cute, I'm sure. And oh, if you want to borrow any of my books I have about boys, feel free to drop by and rummage through my library... I've got your all time favorite "So, you want to raise a boy?" by W. Skousen and Brad Meltzer's book, "Heroes for my Son", along with a few others. Actually, I strongly encourage you to borrow my copy or buy a copy of "Heroes for my Son", it's such a good book!!! Like you said, "girls kick butt" but I'm telling you, boys are such a cinch!!! My sister Trish had 2 girls and was so certain she'd only ever have girls, so when she found out she was having a boy w/her 3rd she freaked! But in hindsight, since then she's had 5 boys and one other daughter and she admits she's so happy she had more sons than daughters cuz there's so much less drama than there would be if they were all girls. Any matter, I'M EXCITED FOR YOU!!! Your little guy and my little dude will be so close in age, they can be buds; maybe even mission comps?!
1. I think Lavell would be awesome ;)
2. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!! This is so exciting! Boys are a blast!!
3.Any new house updates??
Congrats! That is so exciting! What a fun addition to your cute family!
that's awesome - i'm glad jayson is excited about having a boy because he's not going to be the most adored man in the house anymore! i think lavell is a must, or at least a name that starts with "L" because then he and The Lavell would at least have the same initials.
heidi - yay. boys are fun! are we going to meet up at Christmas? Email me with your address pease. I'm super happy for you. Boys are fun.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I mean, either way is fun (there are three girls in a row in our fam and we love it), but adding a boy is just so exciting! Congrats, Heidi!
Yay, it's a boy! So happy for you guys!
Boys kick butt too! (And tell Jay that I'm not sure I approve of Lavell.)
