The BIG NEWS
It's another boy!!! :D We're both really happy even though we "wanted" a girl (really all we want is a healthy baby). The next few years of our lives will be filled with much excitement. Poor kid is going to have a few pages in his baby book about how badly we wanted a girl, but I assure you all he will be greatly loved :) Maybe since we're so willing to adopt we should go ahead and adopt a girl when we're ready. The tech said he looks great and everything is measuring right on schedule. He is currently one 1lb, 7ozs. Here are the pics of our very proud baby boy. I wouldn't normally post a pee-pee picture, but Josh is away and I want him to be able to see them.
Now we need to come up with names! haha We had girls names picked out, but boys names are so hard to find. They have to be strong, uncommon, but not weird. It's not an easy task. AND we don't have to have a baby shower or buy any clothes! This weekend we're going to the store to get a new crib bedding set since ours is in a sad state of affairs now after all the washing, tugging, chewing, diving, and digging it's been through... and a "bringing home baby" outfit. Every child deserves at least one new item of clothing to bring them home from the hospital. YAY!! I finally can shop for the baby!! :D
Here is that belly pic I kept saying I was going to take. I finally took it like an hour ago haha. I am 23 weeks along now! Don't ask me how much I weigh. I have no idea. The battery in my scale died and I keep forgetting to bring a new one upstairs with me.
*** Josh saw the pics so I took down the one. Even the unborn deserve a little privacy! ***

The ultra sound pics came out great! You will have a girl one way or another down the road. I think that's awesome that you are considering adopting.
The good thing is you are experts at raising boys and this will be a piece of cake for you. Have fun picking out the bedding & a nice name for him! That is the funnest part!
I'm so happy for you guys.
Here's another suggestion:
Vito Mariano
hehehe... I will start giving you serious suggestions soon. SO EXCITING! It was cool how you waited with Tristan, but I'm glad you found out this time!
Haven't you guys always said you'd have 4 boys and adopt a girl? :)
Yeah we always said if we got to 4 and still didn't have a girl we'd adopt one. I want a little Chinese girl :)
During Christmas, my in-laws bought my niece a nice princess toy box. I made a comment about the neat "tool box" and my mother-in-law just started laughing at me. I shrugged and said "I guess I was destined to be an all boys mom!" ;o)
We had a really hard time choosing a boy name. We settled on Westin Craig. We used the social security's website for the most popular names and it was like the 687th most popular boy name. But since we chose it, David has met three little boys on his route named Westin. I told him there was NO way we were going to try to come up with a new name!
I like Vito.
;-)
P.S. You look great.
