A Happy Happy Birthday

Celebration for my birthday started last Saturday, but the actual day was yesterday (Feb 24) and it was incredible!

Joe and I found out that we are having a baby BOY!

We planned my ultrasound appointment for my birthday as I knew there would be no greater gift than finding out what our little bit was! He cooperated VERY well. Not only could we tell that he was a boy, we were also able to see how well he was developing. Everything measured as it should, his heart had 4 chambers and a great heartbeat, and there were 10 fingers and 10 precious toes! We are so excited about this little guy and can't wait to start picking things out for him...starting with his name. :)

We also continued our celebration by going to dinner with our families. It was such a sweet time as our parents were so excited about the news of our baby boy. Joe's family had a special excitement as this keeps their boy/girl ratio with the boys dominating. :) Our baby boy also got several little gifts from each of our family members. My mom gave him a baseball photo album...we only hope he will have Joe's athleticism to be able to capture some baseball moments. :) Mrs. Denson gave me some of the sweetest outfits that Joe had worn as a baby. It's so special to think our baby can wear his daddy's clothes (Joe was mortified that he wore some of these things). Also, Mrs. Sara (Joe's grandmother) gave him several goodies, most of which were centered around the family's love for Bama! And Lura (my soon to be sister-in-law) gave him some of her old books from her childhood which was so special.

We continue to be so thankful for this sweet baby boy and never want to cease to thank the Lord for this gift! Thank you all again for your prayers yesterday. I am thankful for all of you!
