Hey, Jack!

Jack William Randolph: July 13th, 2014

The moment we found out a Jack was on the way! 

Hurray! Today we found out that we will be welcoming another little boy to our family this July (or maybe June!). Jack William's due date is 7/13/14! We are so thrilled and so excited not only for ourselves but for Harry and Jack as well. They will be best buds and we can't wait to watch them play and grow together.

From the beginning of the pregnancy I thought I was having a GIRL! Or at least I just felt that way since this pregnancy has been very different from my first. I had nausea with this one and no cramping, very different from my first pregnancy when I had a LOT of cramping and no nausea. It's funny, though, because every since I was a little girl I thought that I would have a lot of boys and so far my premonition is right! Crazy.

Saturday we saw Jack up close and personal at Stork Vision Chandler. Take a peek at the photos below!

Even though we went to Stork Vision to have the gender determined, we still did not want to know because we wanted to find out by cutting into a cake with our whole family. In order to do this the sonographer had everyone leave (both grandpas an cousins) except my mom and my mother-in-law and then put a towel over my face so I couldn't see! She then went through and snapped many photos of Jack's revealing parts for the grandmas to see and that was it! My mom then went home and baked the awesome cake for our reveal party the next day (yes, we had to wait one more day!) When we cut into the cake the next day in front of all of our family and close friends blue M&M's flowed out like an awesome boy waterfall! It was so neat I want to do it again for our next baby for sure!

Here are the pictures we got from Stork Vision of Jack William at 14 weeks 6 days. So cute! He looks different from his brother but also the same. Cannot WAIT to meet him!! July can't come fast enough!!

Here is the photo revealing Jack's sex. It's a boy!! The sonographer typed a little "b" in the photo but it's hard to see.

On the evening of November 3rd, 2013 we found out we were expecting! We were so thrilled. It was a great day for the whole family because not only did our newest niece Jillian decide to come into the world that morning, we found out the news about our own little arrival that night. How exciting! After about 7 months after Harrison's birth we had decided that another pregnancy was what we wanted soon in order to keep the boys (ah!) close in age like Marcus and his brother Jacob were, and a few weeks later we were blessed with the news.

Our dollar pregnancy test. It was a very VERY faint line, so faint that we ran to the store for another dollar pregnancy test! Even though the directions say that even the faintest of lines are positive results, we just HAD to know for sure, especially considering that the first test was sitting for over 10 minutes before we read the result and that can make for some false positives. The second test was just as faint but we knew. We waited EXACTLY two minutes and bam! Baby #2 was on his way!

I have been waiting until our gender reveal get together to begin my weekly blog posts so I'm excited to start the first! I also created a new blog to which I linked Harrison's baby blog, HarrisonGregory.blogspot.com. 

Okay, here goes!
