Our New Addition














So I think almost everyone knows by now that we are having a third child....and if not, well we are and we are due December 31st. We wanted the sex to be a surprise...we tried the same thing with Cope and the technician "accidentally" told us it was a boy.
We recently went for our 20 week ultrasound, the baby is healthy, all the fingers and toes are accounted for along with major body organs. We also saw the sex of the baby. It was apparent. Not shy at all. So for those who cant tell in the ultrasound picture, its a boy. We are experts at this by now, i have this same picture for both the other kids :-) So a third boy it is, we are going to name him Jack Daeland.....I am officially out numbered in the house! I guess if we ever get a dog it will be girl....
For those who have never seen the 3-D ultra sound, it is interesting to say the least....a little creepy in a good way, but still very strange. maybe because i have never seen one before or maybe because it really makes the child inside of you so real....which is strange to say because i know he is real and i feel his kicks and punches and they are real, but you cross a line when you go from a 2-d ultrasound that looks like an x-ray to a 3-d ultrasound that looks real...so i thought i would share the image. you have to keep in mind he is only 5 months old in the picture, no fat is on the body, he only weighs 12 ounces.
