how i told him

i realized that i haven't shared these pictures yet and thought today would be the perfect day to do so ...
because i had my 20 week ultrasound just this morning!

i wish i had been a little more prepared back in march when i found out i was pregnant.
... or a little more patient.
i knew how i wanted to tell casey we were having another baby,
but i couldn't find that adorable "big brother" shirt i had envisioned on such a short deadline.

i found one that definitely did the job.


casey comes home from work
"heyyyyy" ... he sings as he enters the house.
(he was particularly perky that day!)


he always goes straight to hugging on webb.
... webb is always running towards him with the biggest smile saying "dada, dada!".


and then he sees it!


now was that a perfect reaction shot or what?! ... those eyebrows!
so glad i got it!
he was a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y shocked!
not in a bad way ... just couldn't believe that it was all happening.
we were really going to have another baby!
we were, and are so excited!

so, the ultrasound ... it went so great and i was SO very thankful!
with what webb went through in the first 3 weeks of life and my worrisome self ...
i had lots of anxious energy this morning.
so far fluid levels, measurements, weight ... everything looks just as it should.
the doctor is going to recheck everything at 30 weeks.

after we saw all the body parts, well almost all of them ...
suddenly i hear casey say "uh oh".
he saw it.
and then said "looks like we'll be having more than just two!"

because we found out we're having another BOY!

we're SO excited and feel so incredibly blessed!
i've been smiling about having 2 boys all day.
i never imagined that i would be a mom of 2 boys at some point in my life.
just goes to show the Lord knows better than i do.
can't wait to see all the adventures that lie ahead!
