It's a BOY!

We are so excited to announce that the sweet baby growing inside me is a BOY!  This was the first ultrasound that Nathan didn't get to go to, so we were a little bummed about that, but also very thankful that I had time to text him before his ship went out of cell phone range!  Then I went to the store to get all the blue things I could find to surprise the kids with...I think I may have had more fun with it than they did, but that's okay. :)

Here are a few pics of the surprise!




Impatiently waiting. Zach is squinting just like his dad would be...apparently overcast is just too bright...LOL.






I love the look of joy on Zach's face here! He was absolutely sure it was a boy from the very beginning.









There they go! (I had extra balloons hidden in the van because I knew they would be sad about "losing" their balloons.)




Exploring some of the other blue goodies I picked out for them.  In case you're curious, the kazoos and chocolates were by far the favorite goodies...and the balloons of course!

Thank you to everyone who is sharing in our excitement.  We can't wait to meet our new little man, to watch Lydia learn to be a big sister, and to experience all the joys that adding another child to our home will bring.  We are so thankful to the Lord for our growing family!
