With Jakob's blessing, I found out the gender of baby #2 at an ultrasound last week. I promised (and actually kept my promise!!) not to tell anyone what we were having before telling Jakob and Cal together 24 hours later. This is where crazy work schedules really put a damper on things. Having to wait 24 hours until we were all in the same room together felt like an eternity!
We both agreed that it would be fun for Jakob to find out the sex of the baby right along with Cal. It's not like Cal really cared whether pink or blue balloons would pop out of the bucket so it was fun that someone got to be genuinely excited for and surprised by the gesture.
The rest of the photos are pretty self explanatory..
WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!
And Calvin is getting a little brother! How cute are brothers? So cute! While I am still a bit overwhelmed with the idea of another wild little boy joining our already chaotic home, I could not be more excited for Calvin. He loves babies and is beyond thrilled to show off for anyone willing to watch his latest trick. I am already daydreaming of when I can prop a sleeping baby up on a Boppy pillow to "watch" Calvin dance as I quietly nap on the couch. This is how two kids work, right?! I know it's going to be a crazy few years but I have high hopes that my two boys will grow up to be the best of buddies and I am confident that Cal will be a great big brother to this little one!
As for Jakob and I, we already know how much love and joy a baby boy can bring to a family and are feeling incredibly blessed and excited to be adding another little one to the mix!
(Balloons are much more exciting than posing for photos)
Finally, I must say that unlike last time when we announced that we were having a girl, only to turn around and announce that our little girl was actually a little boy a few weeks later, this time we are 100% certain that this will be the only gender announcement we make before this baby is born. Just had to put that out there :)
