Baby 2 GENDER REVEAL!!

WE KNOW! WE KNOW!! WE KNOW!!!

We were able to go for our gender and anatomy scan at 17w5d (same as with Bryson) to check out our sweet baby 2! First and foremost, all the baby's parts and pieces were accounted for and in working order! Praise the Lord! Secondly, we came prepared with an envelope and a "girl" card and a "boy" card at the ready (we learned from the first time when the Sonographer had to write the gender on a post it!). This time, we had Laura put the correct gender card in the envelope that said "COMING JUNE 28!" so we could open it later when we were alone.

Caleb and I went to the same parking lot we were in when we opened Bryson's gender post it note and opened this baby's envelope! As an aside, we went into the sono convinced baby was a girl, but during the sono I changed my mind to boy. Caleb stuck with girl. We were so anxious to know - SO FUN!!!!

We found out on Thursday, January 23rd, and had a gender reveal party with both of our families at our house on Sunday! Here are a few pics from the party:

Caleb made our new refrigerator box into a fort. The kids LOVED it!

Bryson and his cousin Grayson! With the mamas of course!

The hosts! Family of 4!!! :)

The big girls playing with baby toys - oh the novelty ;)

Bryson loving the heck out of Grayson! Poor kid! lol

Baby 2's stats! Measuring a few days smaller, but probably just caught him between growth spurts. I do not expect anything less than a chubby baby! :)

AND HERE IS THE BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!
We're having a:

A BOY!!!!! We're so excited!!! Bryson and B2 will only be 19 months apart, so this will work out perfectly! Forever best friends and roommates! :) 

I told Caleb that we should name B2 "Isaac" because it means laughter (as Sarah, in the Bible, laughed when God told her she'd have a baby in her 90's.) Obviously, I'm not in my 90's, but we screamed and laughed when we say the boy card come out!! We were so sure it was a girl for the last 14 weeks! lol We are surprised and totally over the moon!

Right from our ultrasound appointment, we went to JCPenney to get family pictures done. We received the picture package as a Christmas gift, and figured this would be a fun way to reveal the baby's gender! Unfortunately, since the package expired the same day, I had to have both pink and blue props ready! It worked out though - I like how they turned out! I just had a lot of pink returns to make! :) 

As you can see, I used the tag that was put in the envelope by the Sonographer on the ribbon "belt" around my belly. Planning to put it in B2's baby box (once I make one! :)) Also, Bryson's shirt says, "I love my brother"!

Someone asked Caleb if Bryson is excited about having a brother... Caleb laughed and said, "No - he just found out that everything that was once his is now only HALF his! lol Get used to it kid... ;)

If nothing else, this boy is definitely excited about balloons! :) Love those teeth and whole face smile!!
