BOY Baby #5

I feel as though I owe a blog post to baby number five who is thought of and prayed for daily, but hasn't been spoken much of in the blog world.

We are absolutely thrilled to be having a boy.

 16 Weeks:

20 Weeks:

30 weeks:

I am 31 weeks along now and baby is very active!  He moves most often in the evening and whenever I am sitting down, but maybe that is because that is when I am still for the longest amount of time. All the girls have felt him move, which I love sharing with them because it make the pregnancy so much more real for them.  He is a strong little sucker.  Sometimes his kicks to the ribs are so hard, they make me jump.  But I secretly love it :)

The girls pray for him each evening and often talk about what to name him.  Ella says we should name him "Boy" which would be a little general but fitting, I guess.  Rose has thrown out multiple names: Ralph, Felix, Olaf, Kristoff, Sven...any boy name from a movie she likes.  Ava suggested Michael and Madeline insists on John Paul.  I guess we have a lot to think about!

My goal is to have all the baby things washed and set up before Easter in case this one decides to make an early entrance into the world like some of his sisters, which would be just fine with me!  We can't wait to have a baby around again and see what it is like to raise a little boy!  Only 9 weeks or less!
