It's a. . . .

BOY!!!!!

We are so thankful for modern technology for many many reasons, but today we are thankful for the ability to be able to see our unborn child. There are so many advantages to being able to see your child and learn the gender of your baby before they are actually born. We can know that our baby is perfect and healthy, and there are so many advantages to knowing the gender. A lot of people do not recognize that a baby is a person or an actual human being until they are actually born. This is why a lot of people jusify abortion. We have very strong views against that, we believe that a each person is a person from the very day they are conceived and we believe that being able to know the gender of the baby before it is actually born helps acknowledge the fact that it is a human being. Being able to call the baby for sure him or her, and even being able to name the baby and refer to them by name months before they are born. Not to mention the many practical reasons of being able to plan ahead. We would have been thrilled to have another little girl, because we LOVE having a little girl, but are also thrilled to have a boy since now we will have a boy and a girl. Now that we know he is a boy we are able to buy clothes and everything else a little boy would need that we don't have. We can explain to Lana that she is having a baby brother. Poor Lana was set on having a baby sister, she has been saying this for weeks, but now we have plenty of time to prepare her for a little brother, and I know she will love him and have a lot of fun being a big sister!!!
With all that being said, we are very thankful. . . and we are happy to anounce that we are having a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is the very first picture of our baby boy at 21 weeks of pregnancy!!!
