It's a...

My goodness do I go in spurts or what?!

We went in for our ultra sound about a month ago and found out we are having a healthy baby BOY! Josh said, "What? Check again!" It was so funny. I of course started crying...something I seem to do when I found out what we are having every time! We would've been happy with either a boy or a girl (Josh was definitely thinking more girl hee hee)but we are just as excited as can be to have a little boy join our family. Josh has had a name picked out for years since he was sure Ally and Annalise we both going to be boys. Now that we will be having a boy it wasn't hard for Josh to decide on his name. I of course said he could choose the first name (if he is only going to have 1 son then I figure he should get to name him!). My only condition was that I would get to choose the middle name. Anyway, after really no thought at all we decided to name him Jacob Joshua Dayton. Josh has always wanted a little Jake running around, so we are really excited for him to join our family.

The doctor officially pushed back my due date until March 5th, so now I have a couple more weeks to wait! All of the girls came 2 weeks/ 2 1/2 weeks early, so maybe I'll still have him in February...we just don't know how things will go with a boy!

I think Megan may be the most excited. She is obsessed with her baby brother and talks to him and about him constantly. He is the first thing she notices when she wakes up and she includes him in every family activity (and prayer)! It is the most adorable thing I have seen! I must admit - it is fun having older kids to appreciate a new baby on the way. Since I had my first 3 kids so fast and close together they didn't know what was going on each time another baby came along! We feel so blessed to know that this little guy gets to come join our family in a few months!
