ITS A....

Saturday, November 7, 2009

I really struggled for a while on whether I wanted to find out the sex of our new addition. Jared really wanted to know but I was not so sure. In the end, I decided what the heck might as well just find out and maybe I will feel a little more prepared :-) We went to our 16 week ultrasound on September 21st. The technician that was preforming our ultrasound that day asked if we were going to find out the sex of the baby and we told her yes. She told us it would be more fun if she just put it in an envelope and we could find out later in a special way, instead of with a bunch of people we don't know, so we decided to take her advice. We decided we would video conference with my parents and find out with them. Then our friends Alex and Alanna invited us over to find out with them, and we also asked our friend Danny if he would like to join our little party! So we had ourselves a little mini celebration. Thank you to Alex and Alanna for setting up such a nice small gathering, they even got us sparkling cider :-) So here are a few pictures to help tell the story...

Getting the computer set up for our video chat...please excuse my appearance,
obviously was not planning on this being a big event :-)

Video chat is set up, we are saying hello to the family in Michigan...

I've got the envelope...are we ready...

Drum roll....opening....

On my gosh!!! Its a.....

BABY BOY!!

After this announcement Jared Literally fell to the floor in disbelief, he thought
for sure he would have a girl because he wanted a boy so much.
Here I am showing him once he got back up...

He needed closer inspection for himself...

Here is the family back in Michigan on video chat

Cheers to a baby boy!!

Proud momma and papa to be

Our little boy...
This is at 16 weeks, we were able to get a 4d image scan, how cool is it to see him! His face is not even fully formed yet, but he sure looks cozy in there :-)!!

Meet our new roomate....

This summer we were surprised with the news that we would be getting a new roommate. This is not the type of roommate you may first think of, but actually a new addition to the Team Thomas family... Yes, Jared and I will be welcoming a new baby into our home!

These are a few of our early pictures, not too exciting to look at most of these black and white shots because you can never see much or tell whats what, but I thought I would post them still

This is at 7 weeks, just a tiny little dot almost
Due date: March 6th 2010

This is at 9 weeks, actually starting to have a baby-like form

This is at 12 weeks, we had not told anyone up until this point,
my mom was the only one that knew...yes she kept that secret too!!

I will continue to try and post updates, since we are far away from a lot of our
friends and family and can not share this with you in person. I promise I won't go 4 months with no posts again :-)
