IT'S A BOY!!!

We've been waiting for today for weeks. We went to Ann's new Italian ob-gyn today for a check up. While there, Ann had a quick ultrasound. Before the appointment, we were nearly certain that the baby was a girl. In fact, we had already started referring to Ann's belly as 'she' and 'her'. But, when we were at the doctor's office, the doctor asked Thomas if he wanted a brother or a sister. For months, his response has steadfastly been "I want a baby sister." Surprisingly, today he said, "I want a brother." The doctor smiled and said that he's going to get his wish. She then pointed out the obvious on the ultrasound monitor.

We're thrilled to be having another boy, and so far everything's going well with the pregnancy. Ann has a more thorough check up, with a morphology ultrasound, in a week or two. We'll continue to post updates as the due date approaches.

Sorry...no pictures to post this time. Maybe after the next appointment.

YAY!!! Congratulations! That's great news!

With two boys in the house, there's bound to be a lot of fun (and a lot of trouble!). :-)

Miss you guys!
