Boy, oh Boy!!

OK, I am officially the worst blogger EVER. I have so much to update everyone on! I am feeling great these days and no longer have a baby bump, but a full on baby belly :) I think once we gave the baby a name it wanted to make sure that everyone saw him!

Which brings me to my next point that we are having a BOY - Finley Hutton Day! Yup, Chris is getting a boy to help him out in his house full of women - the dog, the cat, me - he is a brave man! We are elated. If you would have asked me from the very beginning I would have told you boy. I have always said I wanted to have a boy first - the older brother, protector, that Chris is and that I have with Rob - plus with Rob & Jaime having a boy late this fall the timing was perfect. Now Don & Shelly will also have one of each.

{even Ellie got in on the action at the gender reveal wearing pink AND blue so we didn't give anything away. However, when asked a few weeks ago to give me a five on the hand she thought it was she guessed boy. She's a genius}

At the ultrasound it didn't take long for Finley to show us who he was either. It was about 5 minutes into the appointment when our ultrasound tech asked what we thought we were having. I told her I was split because I always like to give myself the option of both, but that if you noticed Chris' blue hat he was hoping for a boy and she looked right at Chris and said,"Well you got what you wanted!". I couldn't believe we found out that quickly & it definitely took a second to sink in, but I had really been praying and asking for prayer that the appointment would go well and the baby would be cooperative, and he was! Of course, Chris gave me a high five and sat

there with the biggest grin on his face the whole time. Believe it or not, I only cried a few tears (I know, pretty surprising, right?!) and was so excited to finally know! What a wonderful day!

Finley was very cooperative the rest of the appointment allowing the tech to get all the pictures she needed in under an hour. What a wonderful feeling watching this sweet boy turn flips, move his mouth, and give us a wave. I don't know how anyone couldn't believe in God when witnessing this miracle that is life. It's SO amazing!
