We had our ultrasound today and the baby looks great. The girls and Chip came to the appointment and we were able to find out that we're having a boy!I told Brock that I would bring him a Happy Meal lunch and if there were nuggets inside the bag, it meant we were having a girl. If there was a burger, it meant we were having a boy and if it was a fish sandwich, it meant we couldn't find out yet.
When I showed up at his third grade classroom door, he practically tore the bag open and his whole face lit up and he started to grin and said, "It's a burger...I got a cheeseburger for lunch...it's a boy!". All his friends and classmates started clapping and cheering for him. It was definitely a proud, really wonderful moment.
We are all just so happy that everything appears normal and healthy and we look forward to the rest of this pregnancy progressing well. If you want to see the layout I made today, it's here.
Yes...today we really did have HAPPY meals. =)

How wonderful! I am so happy for all of you ~ I might just have to have a Happy Meal myself tonight! :)
Blessings to all!
(I'll have to send the newest Ferlaak a fish bracelet when he arrives.)
I'm thrilled for your family! (Although I would have been thrilled for "blue" or "pink" - I have one of each so I can't pick one over the other!)
CONGRATULATIONS on your news! I will pray everything from here on out goes easily! :)
Yay ! Congratulations, Jody...to ALL of you !

May the rest of your pregnancy continue to be a healthy one.

I haven't commented in a LONG time but I still read pretty faithfully. Thanks for directing me to the "Bring the Rain" blog, such a powerful testimony! God is good even when it hurts so bad that you need to cry and scream.
Thanks!

A boy! Congratulations!
So you going to name him "Ronald" after Ronald McDonald and tell him one day he was the happy meal toy for Brock before he was ever born! :)
Congratulations!
And what a fun way to tell the big brother :-)
Congrats!!! That is SOOO sweet - the happy meal thing. But haven't you ever heard the ultrasound lady call girl parts hamburgers? lol! I bet that truely was a great moment at lunch and your layout about it was super cute. Congrats again!
A BOY! I am shocked! I really thought it would be another girl but I am so happy for Brock. Now when do we learn the name? You have the coolest names.
That has to be the cutest scrapbook page I've ever seen! How creative!!
Congratulations on your very good news. Oh, and for the record, I hope you continue blogging. I'd miss visiting your site:) It's uplifting and REAL. Two things that are often hard to find in this day and age.
Yay!
Congrats!
Wonderful news, congratulations!
Congratulations! How exciting to have another boy!
Congratulations, Jody! I voted "boy" on your survey...I just knew Brock was due for a brother! I will be praying that the rest of the pregnancy continues to go easy for you. You look great, by the way. Take care!
Congratulations ~ that's great news!! I am so pleased that everything is going well for you ~ now you can sit back and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy!!

YAY IT's a BURgER...
So happy for you.
CHEEEEEESEBURGER!!!! Congrats. So happy for you all :-)
Jody ~ I'm so excited for you guys. Either one would have been a blessing, but I know Brock has to be happy to have a brother with all the girls in the family. Let's talk names! Colton? Carter? Sutton? Holden (a popular one for kids where I work)? Clayton? Atcher? Mason? Owen? Tate? Cade? Alec? Cass? Garrett? Quinn? (Can you tell I love playing with baby names?)
Jody, that is THE CUTEST way I've ever heard it told! what a cute idea- i love his reaction. Congrats!!!!!!!
OMG..you are so cute with the way you delivered the news to Chip! So sweet:)

Congrats on the baby boy!!
This is SO late...I haven't been on in awhile....but YAY for a boy : ) I bet Brock is REALLY excited! Our little boys will only be 2 months apart, and that excites me. Congratulations!
