It's a...

...BOY!!!
 

 

 

Today was my 19 week ultrasound, and we learned that God has blessed us with another sweet son!  The Lord must think this world needs more holy priests!  :)  Paul and the boys all came along to the appointment, and when the ultrasound tech told us the gender, none of us were surprised at all.   I was so relieved to learn that he looks perfectly healthy (after having 3 miscarriages I tend to have a lot of anxiety when I have an ultrasound).  The little guy sure put on a show for us; he did a headstand, sucked his thumb, and even stuck out his tongue at his brothers! :)  I am confident he will fit right in with his big brothers, and I feel at peace that this truly is God's will for our family. May our heavenly Father give my husband and I the grace to raise these boys to become holy gentlemen to love and serve Him as they grow up. We went out to celebrate at Chili's after the big appointment, and then in the evening the boys helped me make cupcakes with blue frosting for dessert...

 

 

Thank you all for your love and prayers...keep sending them our way...we'll need all the help we can get with FIVE boys running around our house soon!  The thought just occured to me that our Blessed Mother was "blessed among women," but I feel like I am very "blessed among boys"--ha ha!  :)

 

P.S.  And if any of you have daughters, perhaps you could invite me over for a very girly tea party someday----just so I can experience what that might be like! :}
