Baby # 3!

We are so excited to be expecting the arrival of baby #3 in mid January!  At the beginning of this month, we went for an ultrasound to sneak a peak at this babe.  Look's like we will be welcoming a healthy baby boy in just a few short months!

It has been so fun to experience this pregnancy with the kids.  When I was pregnant with Emily, Andrew was still too small to really get it.  But this time they both understand and are so excited about a new little sibling.  Emily has been pulling out all kinds of things from her room for the baby, baby toys she finds in her toy box, too small socks, baby rattles...she will bring them to me and say "this is for our baby, mommy" :)  

Names have been a struggle this time around!  We asked the kids for some input, Andrew decided we should name the baby Anna if it was a girl and Russell for a boy.  Emily chose Minnie Mouse...boy or girl!  Then when we found out it was a boy, she thought Mr. Potato Head would be a good option, ha!  We were having trouble finding common ground and I told Kenneth if we can't agree we were naming this boy Russell!  

His ultrasound pictures look so much like his big brother and sister's pictures did!  Here is his little baby arm...

And a big baby yawn...

Sucking his thumb already, he did that for most of the scan

Tiny baby feet :)

And his boy parts, he was not shy about letting us see if he was a boy or girl, we knew immediately when the scan started.  Emily was really hoping for a sister, but I think she is thrilled about a brother too.  Andrew didn't say if he had a preference between a brother or a sister, but after finding out he is so so excited to be getting a brother!
