It's a BOY!

We found out our third "M" is a boy!  I'm seeing a trend here, AND I LOVE IT! I was pulling for a boy.  I see myself as a boy mom - so this is working out nicely! 

We found out this past Friday, May 27th, at 18 weeks gestation.  It was such a fun and amazing experience.  Dr. French offered to use his new machine on the 2D setting, as their office hasn't yet been trained on the 3D mode.  Even in 2D we got to see SO much of our amazing little baby boy!  His heart (all four chambers, pumping away), his stomach, bladder, spine, kidneys, face, eyes, eye-lenses, limbs, hands, feet, and little boy parts!  Oh, it was so incredible.  Jalon, my dad, Jalon's Nana, and little Marshal were all in the room.

Some fun memories of the day:

• We had been practicing with Marshal to say, "Hi Dr. French" when he saw him.  But when we arrived at the office, he proceeded to tell EVERYONE, "Hi Dr. French" - including the ladies in the waiting room, the office staff... it was super cute.  He did finally tell the ACTUAL Dr. French, and gave him a hug (and invited him to come watch him play soccer at his soccer game??? Interesting, since he doesn't actually PLAY soccer yet, LOL.)  He also was kind of hugging his leg during the ultrasound.  My sweet Marshal.  
• My dad saying how amazing it was, and how he'd never seen an ultrasound before.
• Marshal saying,"That's so awesome" about the baby.
• My (Jalon's) Nana being able to be a part.
• After we were done, Marshal saying it was HIS turn to look at the baby in HIS belly.  
• Marshal coming home and telling Auntie and cousins (who were at home watching Mason) that he was going to have a brother.
• Jalon and cousin Riley pouting together because it wasn't a girl.

After the fun morning, Jalon and I got to go to Home Depot with my dad and pick out ALL the materials to fix up the house... carpet, blinds, paint, bathroom mirror, stove, microwave, bathroom fixtures, and the list goes on.  THEN we found (after a long time looking) a beautiful set of NICELY UNDER-PRICED bunk-beds at a garage sale.

All in all? This girl's PERFECT DAY.

PS - guess who gets to go be the "training belly" for Dr. French's 3D machine??? Yours truly, with baby boy M #3.  Yay! A whole hour of looking at my baby? I think so! Yes please!
