it's a......BOY!

a picture of us right before the ultrasound
 positive i was about to find out i am having a girl
 but apparently i was so WRONG! i was 100% sure it was a girl
my body is way different than it was with henry
michael thought of the name the day eleanor was born
i could only picture a girl
but it's definitely a boy!
and speaking of boys....while we were at our ultrasound henry somehow busted his eyebrow open
at crystal's house
so instead of going shopping and out to lunch after the ultrasound
we went to the doctor and got henry stitched up
 poor sweaty boy after being held down :(
 we made it out to lunch eventually

 the best pizza
 when we got home we put henry down for a nap and waited for noah and hazel to get home
when they got home we had them each pop a balloon with confetti inside
blue confetti


 we were all pretty surprised
honestly, the whole first day i was in shock
then the next day it hit me
this little girl i thought i had "known" was not coming to our family
this is our last baby 
we will end things 3 and 3 which is great
and really perfect
but it was still an adjustment
i felt better about it after i let it really sink in and had a little cry
time to find a boy name
re-think how i will decorate
buy some boy clothes for the fall/winter
since his birthday is the opposite of henry's 
it's an adjustment
but we're excited for our little boy to complete our family

I'm so thrilled! Either way would have been great ~ this way Henry gets a brother close to him. And it's just like our family 3+3.

I love Noah's eyes over his balloon in the 3rd picture of them with the balloons. And what a surprise! Garrett says we are done having babies, which kind of breaks my heart. I still think of names all the time, but despite not ever having a boy, I still don't have any boy names. For some reason they are tough! Good luck!
