It's a BOY!!!

That's right!  We're having baby #3...boy #2!  He is healthy in every way, and we are so blessed and so thankful!!!

Jackson, of course, doesn't have a clue what's going on, but Gracen's had a little adjusting to do.  She's been telling us since before she even knew we were pregnant that she was going to have a sister.  On the way to the ultrasound, I asked her what we would name the baby if it was a girl.  She said, "Dora."  I asked her what we would name the baby if it was a boy.  She said, "Jackson's a boy baby.  This is a sister baby!"

After we left the doctor's office, she continued to say we were having a girl baby.  And when I told her it was a boy baby, she said, "I don't want a boy baby.  I want a sister!"  She was even near tears twice (a bit of a drama queen).  But by the end of the day, she was able to excitedly say that she is going to have 2 brothers.  It's taking a little time, but she's definitely warming up to the idea!
