July 9th (or so) to be exact! Meet our son!
Jake and I intently watched the monitor as the technician checked over all the important parts and we were thrilled to learn that the baby was healthy and right on track for size. (though I was hoping to be further along) We got to see him wiggle and rub his head and even do a somersault! The whole experience was peaceful and calm and I knew we were meant to have this baby in our lives.
There is no doubt about the gender. He was very cooperative about that and we have two great pictures to embarrass him with when he is older. We didn't really have a preference about a boy versus a girl (remember we got rid of everything?), but I'm happy that we'll be 'even stevens' in our house and won't have to convert the playroom to a bedroom as we were thinking we would.
I was starving (as usual) after the ultrasound so Jake and I had a fun little lunch date which was a great treat in itself. We were both giddy about the baby, of course, and right there as we ate our yummy Mexican food we picked a name for the newest member of our family. Just like that. Easy.
I've been a little anxious about this pregnancy, but after today I feel like I have some concrete evidence that things are just fine. I guess that's only normal after a miscarriage. I know that it's not a guarantee that things can't go wrong, but it seems like everything is finally starting to fall into place for our future. No questions, no doubts, no worries, just enjoying life and all the craziness that comes with it.

Yay! I felt all of those feelings too. Bummer to know we aren't due on the same day though!
I hope you aren't naming him Filiberto:) But if you are, well, I'm embarrassed now.
It's amazing how a new baby can make the world look like a better place...and how some things just fall into place! Congrats on your boy...and your name!
Alys-When are you due now? I'm excited for our two boys to play together! :)
Stacy-How did you guess?! lol! I'm sure Jake would love that name, but we are thinking Geoffrey Morgan.
Allison-Thanks! So true about babies. It's hard not to be happy all the time knowing that a new baby is coming!
I was right! I'm doing the "I knew it was a boy dance"lol...how fun. I am completely 110% jealous.
Oh YAY! Thats so exciting. I'm hoping for a boy too. I find out on the 5th of March. It would be sooner but I will be in AZ for two weeks so I couldn't make the appointment until after I get back. Cresta and I talked about getting together for lunch or something. I want you to come too! I fly in on the 19th and out on the 3rd.
How exciting! I'm so glad things are going so well, what a blessing.
