I went to the doctor yesterday for my regular checkup and while he was measuring my stomach and listening to the baby...he asked, "Do you have any twins in your family?". I quickly replied with, "WHY? Do you hear more than one baby in there?". He responded with, "Well it does sound like a couple of heartbeats jumping around in there but it could be the way I was holding the doppler". All along I've been joking with Luke about how I must be carrying twins because I've gotten' so big so fast...After telling the doctor this he said, "Well you are big. I mean you aren't big, you just measure bigger than you should for 18 1/2 weeks"...needless to say I was a little confused and shocked when I left the office that morning. We were supposed to wait until next week sometime to do our ultrasound, however, we really NEEDED to know now whether there was 1 or 2...
So...today we went and had our ultrasound done and we are happy to announce there is ONLY 1 BABY and that IT'S A BOY!! We also found out I'm about a week further than we originally thought which explains my "bigness". Due date is May 13th.
We are excited! Although, a girl would have been a nice change but we already know about boys and as long as this one is anything at all like his brothers we know we are going to be OK! When I say "we" are excited, I mean Luke & I-our boys not so much (yet). Case agrued with us about it and told his dad, "You're wrong, Dad"...he HAS been praying for over a year for a baby sister, so we expected this a little. He wouldn't even look at the pics of his baby brother so we could explain it to him-hopefully soon he will get over it and realize how much fun another brother will be. As for Mr. Logan...when his Daddy told him, his only response was, "Dang it". I think he'll be quicker to win over than Case.
Sorry for the long story...I wanted to share ALL the excitement of the past 2 days with everyone.
