The "Surprise"

We finally told our families that we are expecting a baby BOY!

After spending the first 4 months thinking that we weren't going to find out...we caved! So at our 21 week ultrasound on November 20th we found out that "baby" was a boy! This confirmed my suspicion all along and made Mike smile from ear to ear! We were most excited that our baby was healthy, but it is very exciting to us that we will add a boy to our family (we are all girls there-so another male to help out Mike will be great).

We told by wrapping a little blue piggy bank that said "Baby Boy" up and presenting it as a Christmas present from the baby to its grandparents for them to start thinking about saving for college (joking or maybe hinting). Both mothers opened the package and were a bit in shock and it went something like this Grandma McConachie "oh it's a Christmas ornament, it's blue, what does this mean, (I said read it), it's a boy, you found out, ohahhhhahahhahaha" Grandma Laschen was much different, she said "a piggy bank, but a blue bank, I will put my quarters in it, wait it's blue does that mean its a boy? do you know, do you know....ohhhaaaaahhhhhahahah." This was the main reason that Mike and I found out...we wanted to tell our families "something" about the baby in person and we couldn't have asked for better reactions! We have them on video and have watched them over and over...such special memories!

Baby Laschen has some very excited grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, and uncles! 93 days until our due date...
