i'm going to start out this post with the announcement (since all the photos i take are really about the baby in my belly anyway.) britton and i are so thrilled to share the news that we are expecting a sweet little BOY!
you all weren't far off on your guesses. here's the final update on our baby poll:


this is our baby's first official photo and it just melts my heart. he's got the sweetest little profile ever. oh i could kiss those cheeks already. our little prince was very well behaved for the ultrasound. he's been so active lately (my tummy can attest... i feel so many of his moves). it was so fun to see his little heart pumping and his hands moving around. what a blessing today was!

and now for the bump photos. as promised i wore something a bit more form-fitting. baby center said that, this week, my little boy is the size of an heirloom tomato (about 6 inches). i could not, for the life of me, find a 6" heirloom tomato... and so i took the liberty of changing the food of choice. so i picked up an artichoke that was 6" from end-to-end and photographed it instead. i love artichokes and am happy with the switch.



oh my sweet little artichoke heart. i'm having a boy! and we are thrilled.
Congratulations! Boys sure are fun!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your baby bump! :)
