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! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings 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!)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS 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.

ReplyDeleteJody ~ 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?)
