Dear Baby,

Your brother and I prayed for you last night. It was our first time kneeling down and praying before bed time. Your big brother doesn't know what to expect, but he knows where the baby is when we ask he points to mommies belly. We are really looking forward to your arrival. My world is beginning to be viewed with 2 children in it instead of just one. I look at Gavin in front of the TV in his chair and I imagine you sitting next to him imitating his every move. I see toys and friends and fights and a big brothers watchful eye. I like what I see. I love you.

Love,
Daddy

My Son,

I just wanted to let you know that you have the most wonderful mommy in the world. Daddy got really lucky when he snagged her. :) He doesn't know it yet but your big brother is going to love having you around. I already know it. Daddy has a big brother and a little brother too so go easy on him. Big brothers deal with some nutty stuff with parental expectations and having to look after the little ones and what not so give him a break eh. I am sure my tune will change once yer here and laying on the charm so disregard. :)

Love,
Daddy

This boy thing has really thrown us a curve. Now we are scrambling to find a name. There are lots of options of course but none that have really jumped out at us like Gavin did. Names that we both seem to like are Gabriel, Wyatt, Grayson, Logan, Hunter, Drake and Garrett. Names that I like are Gunner, Coda, Carver, Judah, and Ezekiel, but you don't like any of those. hehehe

Today I got the most giddy feeling in my stomach thinking about the baby coming. Knowing the sex of the baby (and it kicking me recently) has really brought it to the forefront of my mind. I am so excited for the new babies arrival. 4 more months! Yikes! Look at it this way Elephants have 18 month gestation so we are kinda lucky. :) (easy for me to say huh?)

IT'S A BOY!

We just found out on Saturday that it's a boy. While shocked we are still excited. However we do not have any boy names that we are dead set on yet like when we picked Gavin. :( Crap! Darn babies throwing us a curve and Chinese birth calendar betraying us! *shakes fist* :)

20 Weeks!

You scheduled the ultrasound for Saturday morning so we get to find out in 2 days if we are having a girl for sure or if the Chinese birth calendar is wrong and its another boy. We are both very excited to find out! It will be good to put the twins thing to rest too. Some people say there are very few real suprises in life and this is blah blah blah. We don't care. :)

I noticed you were showing a little earlier than you did the last time you were pregnant, but I thought nothing of it until my sister asked if I thought you were having twins. Well, I hadn't thought of it until then! It certainly would be interesting. :) I wouldn't mind, but I am sure Gavin would not be thrilled. This Thursday is your 20 week appointment and they will let us schedule an Ultrasound so you and I are both super excited. I can't wait. That should put that nasty twins rumor to rest. :)

I always download an image from Google using the search term for the number of weeks you are pregnant. This one was on the thrid page of images that came up. LOL
