It's a.........

We found out on April 9th that our littlest Lazor is a baby boy! We had our anatomy scan and he looked as healthy as could be. He was very still and well behaved in the beginning which made getting all the proper measurements easy. There was a student in the room and she took over for a bit. Well little man was done napping at that point and was all over the place! At one point she zoomed out and said "can we just watch this child for a second, he is seriously doing barrel rolls or something". It was amazing! We also got to see him hiccup...adorable! haha

We decided we wanted to find out what we were having just not at the doctors office. There are so many other things to look at, and take in that we wanted that moment to have its own special time. I had decided early on that I wanted Kevin to be the one to tell me what we were having. Us gals get to inform our hubby's of all sorts of news and I thought it would be fun to let him share this news with me.
Our ultra sound tech was amazing and was great about not letting the gender slip. She had us close our eyes, she looked and then printed the above picture for us and put it in an envelope.

After our appointment we went to lunch. As we were walking into the restaurant Kevin said for me to go ahead and he'd be in, in a second. I asked if he was going to peak..."maybe" with an evil grin was his reply. A few minutes later he joined me and I asked if he knew...."Yep" with another evil grin was his reply. I had made only one stipulation, please don't wait to tell me until the end of the night, like before we go to bed. We raised our glasses and I made a toast "to our healthy baby!" and Kevin added "to our healthy baby BOY!" I cried SO hard and was SO happy!
All along I kept saying I didn't care, and honestly I don't know that I really did wish for one over the other but a baby boy just felt right. We have had his named picked out for years, when we talked about our future children it was always "he" or "him". I am over joyed that the lord has picked my to be this little guys mama! I get all teary eyed every time I think about it.
We had a wonderful lunch, went and picked an outfit out for our little man. We hadn't bought a single thing for the baby yet. And just enjoyed the day together. It will honestly go down as one of my favorite days I've ever spent with my husband.

To tell our parents and siblings we mailed them this cute card.

It was so fun to drag it out for them! We figured when was the last time anyone was excited to get the mail?! The text's and phone calls we got over the next few days as they were anticipating finding out was so fun. And it was nice to feel the love, support and excitement everyone has for this little guy even if he is the 5th grandchild on each side.

Once they all got their "golden tickets" in the mail we announced on Facebook with this sweet photo of Kevin holding little mans 1st pair of shoes.

I love this photo!!
Well there you have it! It's a boy and we could not be happier!
