The Waiting is Over!

As most of you know, our third pregnancy was a massive surprise to us. We were happily done with procreating. Seriously.

Of course, God had already written our story. And His version of our story, the better version of the Fox story, has three Fox cubs. After a few days (maybe weeks), we accepted the truth and made new plans.

This week has been harrowing. The details are not necessary here, but what you do need to know is that we needed to see our healthy baby this morning. We needed to see that sweet face and start dreaming about his/her future. It was an amazingly bright spot in a dark week.

Without further ado, let me show you what we just couldn't resist buying at Target tonight.

So can you guess the gender of Fox cub #3? I know, I love to ask tricky questions. Our third baby is, most definitely, a boy. We have a fabulous ultrasound picture to prove it, but I'm pretty sure it would be cruel to our unborn son to show off his goods this early in life.

Most of you did very well on the poll! Boy was the clear-cut winner. (I do have to take issue with the two of you who voted "One of each.")

My son's daddy will post a few ultrasound pictures in the coming days. I'll warn you that the pictures didn't turn out as good as those I've seen before. Our boy was looking straight out at us and wouldn't show off his handsome profile. That's usually the best shot! I guess we'll just have to enjoy the boy-part picture.

Have a sweet Valentine's Day.
