We found out you had some twig and berries growing on January 7th! Your grandma, auntie Kriza, Jonae, and dad were there. Dad was so nervous, he couldn't even step into the room until I was ready on the bed. The ultrasound tech took about 100 photos of you, ranging from your different profile shots, to the anatomy of your body to make sure you were growing healthy. She gave us about 7 of them to take home, and we instantly took photos of them to upload onto facebook, as well as sending them to everyone. At this point, the only people that knew were my side of the family, and your grandma and grandpa on your dad's side.
The tech waited until the very end to show us your private parts. Let me tell you, there was no mistaking you! You were one happy little boy, hahaha! I knew right away as soon as I saw you. Your dad didn't, and kept looking for something sticking out. You should have seen your dad...grandma grabbed dad's face and told him you were a boy. He started to tear up, and I started to tear up, too. We didn't cry so much, but we knew we loved you already. I wanted a boy first because I wanted to raise you up as that big brother who will protect his parents, and younger siblings. Plus, your father is an only kid, so it's a dream come true.
Since then, you have been spoiled with clothing from Grandma Sue. She has gone shopping for you, and sent you the most stylish outfits. They are currently hanging in your closet, and I look at them often to remind myself how blessed we are to have you growing into our life. In about 2 weeks, we are going to have another ultrasound to check your growth, bones, and another due date check. We thought you were due June 24th, but after measuring your head, it has been changed to June 19th. There has been a running joke as to me having to partake in a C-section due to the family history of head sizes....I hope not!!! At this point, we don't have very many names picked out for you. I think we are going to come up with a few, and wait until we see you. Your dad and I like Elijah and Micah so far. We will see if it changes!
Other than that, I have been in school working on my nursing degree as an RN, and your dad has been working like a hog as the P.A. for the 2-17th FA, 2nd Brigade, 2nd ID at Ft. Lewis. We're both pretty busy, but we take the time to appreciate you in our lives =)
Until next time,
We love you
