It's a BOY!

We will be welcoming another little boy into our house. I guess I should be prepared for more crazy! Miss Lilliana is going to be spoiled as ever. The ultra sound went great. We really had a hard time seeing as much of this little boy as we did with the other two. We didn't know what to expect when we went in because of my uterus measurements. It was a relief to only find one. Usually our ultra sounds are done 20-22 weeks. This one was done at 18. It really is amazing what does grow in that two week time. So our pictures are not as defined. He was so small. It was obvious! She measured his little feet and they were 2 cm. He actually is measuring a little behind so everything is right on schedule for the due date. We also are mixing up everything this time and telling the name. So Little Ari Joseph will be arriving sometime around July Fourth....Mommy's favorite holiday.

We usually don't tell the name as we can never decided until the week before the kids are born. Usually Anthony does not want to talk about it so it just gets forgotten until we get close. This time I had downloaded a baby naming App to my kindle. He was using it and started going through names. I didn't even think to much about it. He asked me about Ari. I thought about it and loved it. It just fit. As a parent I have found when you just know the name. It really just fit and I knew it. We talked about other names but nothing really fit like this. Yesterday even when we were at the ultra sound it just fit. It is an old name. It is pronounced AHR-ee. It is Hebrew as well as Scandinavian. It means Lion or Eagle from what we have found. Joseph has always been on the list of names so it just fit for middle names.

Eli is excited about it. Although up until yesterday he insisted he only wanted another sister. He loves his sister. When we told him he was ok with it. He has been talking about it since so hopefully he has gotten over the fact he is not getting another sister.

Once again the pictures are not that great but it is what we got so that is ok.


Me at 18.1 Weeks
