Christmas Surprise!

We are so glad that we waited until Christmas to find out if this little baby is a boy or a girl!  Tim was so excited to be with his family when we received the big news, which made it even more fun.  The family didn't arrive until Christmas afternoon, so we had a long day of anticipation.

We did a little polling before the big reveal.  Eight family members guessed "boy" (including Tim) and thirteen guessed "girl" (including me).

We skyped in my parents and grandparents, who were in Montana, and once everyone was there we opened our sealed envelope (I promise, we hadn't peeked!).

Tim let me do the honors (probably only fair after the exhaustion, wild hormones, heartburn, etc, etc, etc... :)

 It's a... BOY!!! 

We are totally thrilled!  Ben has no idea what's happening.

So fun to have family around us and see everyone's reaction to the surprise.

Hugs all around.

Showing my parents the sonogram and the "boy parts."

Yep, definitely a boy!

Another little boy!  We keep saying, "The boys..." and it sounds so sweet.  God truly knows the desires of our hearts.  Tim and I had both been hoping for another little boy to be a buddy for Ben.  We would have been thrilled with a girl, too (I mean, we just must have at least one little girl eventually) but it will be fun to have two boys so close in age to grow up together.

Another sweet little boy on the way.  This Christmas surprise will be hard to beat.
