……..I am soooooo in shock still!
There’s actually a WIENER IN MY BELLY!!!! IT’S A BOY!!!
And as you can see by these ultra sound pics…..there’s deffinitely NO question about that! LOL It’s been a seriously emotional morning. I am filled with joy and relief and excitement and fear. Yes….even fear. I don’t know a thing about raising boys. But that’s okay. Shane and I are about to learn together. I can’t even begin to describe how happy I was to see Shane’s tears of joy when we saw that little pee-pee pop up on the screen. We were both in tears and it was a super special moment that I won’t soon forget.
The girls were so cute when they left for school this morning. They said they can’t wait to come home today and hear if they are having a brother or a sister. I can’t wait to tell them!
Thanks everyone for your sweet prayers and comments! It’s felt like a journey I’ve been able to take with even more extended family! I know how excited you are all going to be for us and I thank you!
Wow! What a day!

I’m so glad your dream is coming true. You guys deserve a healthy, happy baby of any sort but the fact that it’s a boy makes it all the better this time around. I hope he has an “SH” name. I vote for Shea.

Little pee-pee pop up on the screen? Looks pretty big to me. At least there is no question, he’s ALL boy!!!!! I had tears when I saw you were having a boy. How exciting after all the girls. Girls are sweet but boys are so darn cute. Congrats to the Vineyard family.

kim in Camas - ScrapToMyLu Says:
Congrats! LIttle boys are so special. I couldn’t believe I was having a boy either. I didn’t really want a boy and didn’t think it was even a possiblity. All my friends had girls…..I was having a girl dang it! Nope….it was a boy. Of course I grew to love him more than anything…..and I grew comfortable with carrying a boy. Now, I can’t imagine wanting anything else. If I were to have another, I’d want a boy……of course I’d be elated with either.
Boy’s LOVE their mama.
Congrats

I’ve been lurking forever… congratulations on the boy!!!
Don’t have much experience with boys either. I have a DD4, but my sister had 1, whose 19 now. It was great experiencing everything from a new perspective. My sister has always said he was so easy to raise…girls are too high maintenance.
