Its Official!

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails~
That's what little BOYS are made of!
We found out yesterday that we are having a baby boy. We are over the moon excited! To see him move and kick and play on the sonogram was a moment that can only be understood by someone that has witnessed it- It is such a moment between you and your creator, its indescribable. He was spinning around and swimming I guess... and he got the hiccups right there on the screen. It was incredible. Then, he stuck out his hand like he was waiving hello.
