Well, it's...


...another stinkin' boy! He is healthy and growing just as he should be. Of course, Ruby was at this stage, too, but that's for another more serious post. For now, we're just thankful and excited! Madeline has recovered from her 5 minute meltdown (Mom, we were wrong, she was mad!) and Noah is so excited. He'd planned for us to name the baby Hannah Montana (for Madeline) if it was a girl or Luke Skywalker if it's a boy. He also wanted to name Ruby that if she'd been a boy...or Stick. It was a toss-up. Now he's got Jack saying we should name the baby Stick. But Noah is very sure this baby should be Luke, preferably Luke Skywalker, but he'll take Luke. So that may be in the running (the Luke part, not the Skywalker part...)...other than that we have nothing. We could always go Jared, Jr, but Jared's never been big on that. But he does like the name Jed, which could be a contraction for Jared...but we were so careful with Jack to just name him Jack so he would be named and called the same thing. Who knows. We're out of ideas at this point, so we welcome the suggestions! Thank you for your prayers...keep 'em coming!

Belated Merry Christmas

Here is our Christmas card from this year...I just got a scanner so I'm posting it after the fact, but I thought it turned out cute. Maddy can't believe I used the one of her brothers kissing her...she's so embarrassed (wink, wink).

It's a...

Just kidding, we don't find out until tomorrow! But I was looking especially large today (somewhere around 19 1/2 weeks), so Maddy took some pictures of me. I'm sure the Oatmeal Creme Pies and Fritos I've been craving (and eating) today have nothing to do with the size of my belly! Seriously, it changes so much day to day...Sunday I looked like I was ready to give birth, then Monday night I hardly looked pregnant. I'm pretty sure from here on out, there will be little doubt!

Also, I've posted all of Christmas, so be sure to check out the 4 posts below this one. And check back tomorrow (hopefully) for the 20-wk ultrasound pics and updates...I got a scanner for Christmas too--Jared does really love me!
