My Three Boys!

Written a few days within the ultrasound. This week we learned who are next family member is going to be. I didn't realize I was going into the anatomy ultrasound when I went in, but she had the opening and since I was already scheduled for the following week we decided to do it then. Here's a letter to my third SON!

Dear Baby Boy,

We saw you on Tuesday. I kind of thought that doing this all a third time would be old hat. However, I don't know if it was the spotting and the concern in my doctor's voice on the phone or just the pure awe of how God is piecing you together, it felt like the first time all over again. The ultrasound tech, Jan, put the wand on my belly and you popped up on the big screen. Tears immediately rimmed my eyes. You were there. I could see you and though my heart has been growing in love for you since even before you were in my belly I'm pretty sure my heart grew three sizes that second. Normally, in the ultrasound I turn my head so we don't see anything accidentally indicating gender. This time I watched. I thought I perhaps saw something that indicated boy but I wasn't sure. I felt myself tearing up more. It wasn't tearing up out of disappointment of having another boy it was pure excitement Baby Boy!

You were so cooperative and yet so wiggly. The doctor and Jan both said that they had gotten great shots of everything they needed to and you were healthy and my body was healthy. Then, it was on to the moment. Jan didn't say aloud what you were because Ty was with us and we didn't want him to know before JJ. She went searching and it was confirmed. You are a BOY! The feeling that went over me in the confirmation of what I thought I had seen was complete relief. We love our boys. I love the way your brothers look up to your dad and want to be like him. He's such a great role model for you boys. You have lots of other role models in your grandpas and uncles. I love the way your brothers love on me and look out for me- each in their own unique way. I also love how they love you so much. They will rub my belly, try to feel you and give you kisses. Amazing bond you three already have!

So, Baby Boy, we can't wait to see you, but please not until October. We think that pretty soon you will have a name. We pray during our family prayers for you to be healthy and talk about you all the time. Keep on growing- we will see you soon!

Love,
Mommy
