Nearly 21 weeks now….

And given that Troy was born ON his due date, I think I can logically guess that I actually am about half way to seeing this little person face to face.

On Tuesday we had the joy of seeing our new little one kicking around on a computer screen. Seeing that baby, and hearing the heartbeat always makes my eyes fill.

The ultrasound revealed only too clearly that Troy is going to have a baby brother in the fall.

We are thrilled, completely overjoyed!, to be having another precious boy. One has been such fun… we can only imagine how wonderful two will be. What made us both laugh was the difference in this baby at this point compared to his big brother. Troy was all over the place during his ultrasound, always pushing and kicking at any pressure, then nearly “posing” for a nearly perfect classic profile shot… which is so very much his personality even now. This little boy was much more shy, not seeming to want to be seen, and moving gently around his current little home inside his mommy. Troy is a very typical first born in every way, and we’re expecting this second little man to be a bit more reserved and less “wild” than his big brother… much like John and his older brother.

Tomorrow we’re having a yard sale in preparation for our move in four weeks… a graduation celebration to attend in the evening… and then we’re leaving early Sunday morning to head to our soon-to-be new area, go to church at one of the churches we’ve heard good things about, and then spend the week looking for houses… and hopefully a trip to the beach while we’re at it. :smile:
