Thanks for Playing!

Wow, so many guesses! Yay! So many anonymous ones too but those don't matter because only 3 (well, 4) of you were right:

WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY BOY!!!

This is a spread eagle shot, basically as if you were changing a diaper at eye level. You can click it for "help".

The Maws, Molly, and McLaughlin get the credit for guessing right! Way to go!

I have to tell you, even I would've predicted, like, 10 seconds of disappointment at the news of not having a girl. However, once she said, "I can tell the gender" I looked at the screen and shouted, "It's another boy! I can see his penis!" And I was so so thrilled. We both were/are. I was instantly so excited over the family that God has planned for us. He knows what He's doing--there's a reason I'm not in charge. Easton's gonna have a little brother and my goodness are they ever going to get into trouble, but still be the best of friends. How perfect! It's going to be so fun! I'm way more excited than I even thought I'd be.

On the way home we practiced saying things like, "I'm taking the boys to the game" or "My boys love the water". Tee hee! We're gonna have boys!

I really can't believe we didn't find out the gender accidentally with Easton. Seriously, it was so easy to tell during many parts of the ultrasound on Friday. Little Deuce would kick his legs or turn and there his little willy would be, bobbing along in the water. There was no question what we were seeing. I think maybe with Easton because we'd warn them we didn't want to know the gender they might have stayed a little more zoomed in. They'd have us look away during "dangerous" times when they had to look at other "structures". However, Jason remembers seeing basically what we saw on Friday and wondering if it was what he thought it was (with E's pregnancy) but we weren't ultrasound experts back then like we are now. :) You really do learn a lot with repeated ultrasounds. Unfortunately.

The ultrasound tech said to us, "You know if I was able to have children I always thought two little boys would be perfect." Ouch. I squeezed J's hand as in, "we really are lucky, aren't we?" I mean, the fact that we were even able to get pregnant is truly miraculous. God is good. And now He's blessed us with two perfect little boys. Forget about all those times in high school or whenever that I said, "I'm going to have a boy and then two girls." What was I thinking? This is even better than my "plan" although I do wonder if I'll ever be blessed with a girl someday. Or even a 3rd child--we'll just have to wait and see like with everything else.

Anyway, we had a fun weekend. We went to the Railroad Museum on Saturday (I'll share pics later, there's a bunch) and then on Sunday we had breakfast with Moosie. Tonight Jason and I are heading to the Broncos Monday Night game. Brrrr. It might snow tonight but nevertheless it is still very cold today. Eek! It's hard to layer when you're pregnant. Too bad I'm not one of those "always hot" preggos.

And two pics of our weekend, Easton and Daddy being silly:

Oh my gosh...I am living in a Testosterone Zone! Jason, 2 boys, and a male cat! Lucky me! :)

Hooray and congrats for two boys! I can tell you that after I found out our second was a boy I was a bit sad b/c I thought two girls so close in age would be fun. Got over that feeling though and love the family we created. I am so happy for you all. If I had to have two of the same sex then I would wish for two boys :)
