IT'S A BOY!!

Wow, yesterday went by so fast and was so fun. We went to see Dr. Mayberry at 9am to see how our little blessing was doing. We both had the jitters waiting in the waiting room, but once my name was called we were all smiles. We have been praying for this child everyday since the day we found out God granted us another one of His children. Our prayer has been for good health and a sweet spirit. God is so good. We found out that we have a healthy baby boy named LAWSON EDWARD TOOGOOD that will be apart of our family. Brian and Brynlee were both on the shocked side but have completely warmed up to the idea. Brian was thinking he was going to have two sweet girls, but to his surprise we are blessed to raise one of each. My prayer has been that God knows what sibling is best for Brynlee and our family and that they will love one another dearly. Neither Brian or I grew up with the opposite sibling, so this will be a little different for us but so fun. We can do all the girl things with Brynlee and all the boy things with Lawson. I am really looking forward to it. We told Brynlee last night when Brian got home by giving her an It's a Boy balloon with a boy baby doll. We told her she was going to have a little brother named Lawson and she just looked at us and shook her head in the no direction. We asked her if she could say his name and she told us no. We just kept playing with the baby in a brotherly manner and a little while later I asked her what her brothers name was again and she replied with the girl's name we had picked out and then said "Okay Mom, it is Lawson" with a big grin. Since then she has been carrying her baby Lawson around everywhere she goes. We are still trying to work on her saying him and his rather than she and her. She will be a great big sister and will still feel important because she will still be the only granddaughter on both sides. I am sure she will be his second little mommy too. I will try and scan the sonogram picture that I love in soon. It is a picture of his face and in the left part of his chest you can see a shape of a heart, which makes me think it is God's sign to me that he will have a sweet heart for Him and others. That has been our prayer! We love you Lawson and can't wait to meet you.
