A Baby BOY for the Big Brother!

On February 23rd, Our family was elated to find out that we are having a Baby Boy!
We had no inclinations of what the baby was when we went in....but right before we found out Jack said he was going to have a "brover". Jake is really happy to know he'll have at least two boys to take on annual camping trips for their birthdays, since all three of their birthdays will be within a couple weeks if not closer. We are most happy that Jack will have a little brother to play with, even though we know that it would've been just as sweet to see him with a little sister. As for me....I LOVE having boys....and I think it's nice to be the only girl right now.


Because of some simple medical findings during the ultrasound, we are expecting this baby boy to arrive early by cesearean delivery, just as Jack did. June babies are our favorite anyway! This pregnancy seems to be going by faster than the first, and we can't believe that in 4 months we'll be a family of 4!

On Monday night after we found out, we went out to dinner with Juli and Andrew who also found out the sex of their baby an hour after we did. Together, Juli and I told my parents what kind of grandchildren to expect. They were excited to find out that they'll be getting one of each. Juli is expecting a Baby Girl that will be born within days of our Baby Boy. Juli and Andrew are very excited to be expecting a girl, especially since girls are very outnumbered amoung Bassett great grandchildren. I have always thought that Jake and I would have boys and Juli and Andrew would have girls. We'll see if my theory stays true for the rest of our children! As for this round, Jack will love having a Baby Boy and a Baby girl to play with!

Yeah for boys! I think it's a ton of fun having two right together and then the next ones can be either! Hope to see you in Boise in a few weeks!

Hey guys! We found your blog. We were also excited to hear the news of another boy. We love having our boys. They are just now to the point that they can entertain each other. There really are no dull moments in the house with 2 boys!
