First there was just a girl...a student in search of self-definition. She left her small hometown on a hunt for her heart and, not too long after, returned home to find it. That's where the boy comes in... <3 Oh, a highschool crush that might have been forgotten--but there were much bigger plans in store. She fell in love...and they would forever be 2. A puppy (or two!), a house made into a home, and dreams of that walk down the aisle filled the best 4 years of her life so far...and then came a miracle. So unexpected and so...magnificent. They found out they were expecting a BABY...and soon 2 would become 3!

The Results Are In!!

Today was the BIG day...
...anddd
it's a

!!!


There were LOTS of guesses for girl so I was a bit surprised to see a little "extra"...but we couldn't be more EXCITED to prepare for a little mister in a few months! The ultrasound was absolutely precious...to see the little heartbeat and ten fingers and toes...the greatest miracle EVERRR.
We were blessed enough to have both of our moms join us...and Baby T [name annoucement to come....!] must have sensed the audience at his big premier. He was being ultra-modest and was soooo scrunched!

Everything was perfect. Proportional, healthy, and normal! I am actually measuring a week ahead of what we thought originally...of course, not enough to change the due date. He is exactly a pound! And quite handsome...We could even see HAIR in the ultrasound...three tiny white lines...the beginning of what is sure to be a magnificent head of hair!

Of course, the daddy around here is QUITE proud...he just knew it was a boy...and the plans of dirt and destruction are already beginning! He even got some flexing in for dad...



Quite the exciting day...and now it feels SO official. Lots to do...we need everything for this little guy!! Grandma Rahr is ready with some adorable onesies, and we couldn't pass up a trip to The Childrens Place today. And a special nusery is already in the works. Grandma Christensen already bought the first stuffed animal...Harry the Bear for our Woodland theme!

....Can't wait!
