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


On Thursday, March 18 we got up early in the morning. We got ready for an important early morning appointment..the appointment. It was the first chance for the kids and Dad to get a live view of our new addition. I think excitement was the consensus. The sonogram went well. Sydney's eyes were glued on the screen. She wanted the baby to be a girl so badly. The technician sealed the secret into an envelope. The countdown until the surprise was revealed had begun.

On Friday, March 19 we got up early in the morning. This time for an adventure. Sydney and Marshall did not know our destination. We traveled three hours to Springfield, Missouri. We would find out the sex our of baby at the kid's favorite place to eat in the whole world, Lambert's.

The tension as Sydney began to open the envelope was unbelievable. Marshall shook with excitement. He grabbed the card and opened it. He read to us all "It's a girl!"

Baby Shelf

Our family was watching the Gold Medal Game in Olympic Hockey(Canada versus USA). During the game, I ate ice cream on mom's belly. Dad said "I was using the baby as a shelf." Mom didn't notice or seem to mind. I love being a big brother.
