It's a Boy!

Leaping Lizards I've got another one on the way!  We had the ultrasound to tell us so this past Tuesday. I had already wiped the slate clean of having a preference for a girl or boy --  knowing either would be great.... but as I heard the news that Ben would have a younger brother I couldn't help but dream of the two -- walking in one anothers footsteps- recieving the priesthood, serving missions, finding wives... I want nothing more in the world than to have my children find their best friend right beside them throughout their lives.


I've attached a picture of the ultra sound that just makes me melt. I can almost see the features our little guy will have. Throughout the ultra sound he wiggled and jiggled and crossed his legs and stretched--- we've got a real active one in there :)  I couldn't wait to get home to tell Ben about his new little brother -- and while I know Ben has no idea what is ahead, I remind him everyday! He's going to be a big brother! I am so excited to be carrying another boy and it was equally exciting to find out so far so good- two hands, two feet, working organs and a strong heart beat.


Ben's first Easter was great. He attended two easter egg hunts and slept through both afternoon sessions of conference the next week. I got to listen to all the talks because the morning sessions he was a pro at keeping himself occupied.

As for the drama in our lives- it is all in Ben's mouth right now. He has been squawking off and on for two weeks straight so far, and finally signs of why have emerged-- his back teeth. Those molars are really killing the kid. They have come with bruises on his face, blood, and even a hematoma (aka..blood blister) on the back right side where one is trying to emerge but has not found sucess yet like the other ones. It has meant a lot of hugs for me but also very little time to do anything else but tend to little Ben. I hope his "pain" goes away soon.

We'll I better be off. I was up til 2 am last night with pregnacy heartburn--- so I can't wait to make it up tonight ;)

Boys are great! One fun advantage we had, was for this past Christmas we bought Lucas and Alex all the same things! It was wonderful! So I highly recommend having two in a row. :) Felicitaciones!!!

Poor Ben! That sounds awful, but on the bright side I'm glad he gets a brother!
