IT'S A BOY!

Our little new addition due in February is a boy! I remember when we found out Miriam was a girl I was kind of in shock thinking "Girl? How am I ever going to deal with a girl?!?" And now come to think of it, when I got my mission call, I remember thinking "Chile? I have to go to Chile?" At this point, there is a part of me that is still kind of in shock thinking "Boy? What are we going to do with a boy?!?" But there is another part of me thinking "HOORAY!" We're quite excited. He was so cute during the ultrasound! He kept putting his hands in his mouth and over his face. It looked like he couldn't decide between peek-a-boo and finger-licking. For this picture he chose finger-licking. All of his organs and appendages are where they are supposed to be and have all the parts and sizes that they are supposed to have. The ultrasound lady commented more than once on how big his feet are. We are good feet-makers: Miriam was born with noteworthy-long feet and toes, and still has them. She also has a deep and innate love for her feet and anything that goes on them (shoes, socks, and toenail polish). These things might be connected. Either way, this little boy is already ready to fill big shoes :). Take another gander at him. Isn't he absolutely perfect?!?
