We are having...

She stole my tomato and started eating it on the stairs!

Daddy and Selah

My studly fisherman reeling in his catch!

It's a BOY!!! We were able to have our 20 week ultrasound today, and our little one let us know that well...he was a boy. Clear as day, if you know what I mean. He was very cooperative for the ultrasound tech and we got some great pictures to share with family and friends that want to see them. When he was done cooperating he decided to role over and show his little bottom to us. Haha! He is currently 13 oz. and is 8-10 inches long. We do not have a name picked out yet, but are considering waiting to share the name until he is born so people have a little bit of a surprise. We are very excited with this news. But honestly I would be happy even if I had all girls. Babies are just an incredible miracle and blessing from God! It will be a bit strange seeing trucks and dinosaurs instead of flowers and dolls around here. However, Selah is quite fascinated by vehicles (especially planes and trains) and sports. She can be girly, but also into so called boy stuff. As soon as we left the doctor's office Dan informed me that he will need to get a lifetime fishing license as he will be doing a lot of fishing with his kids.
In other news...Dan went fishing last weekend for Father's Day. He caught a 6' 8" sturgeon. Unfortunately, it was 8" over the limit and had to be put back. Dan was like a giddy little boy for the next few days telling me tales of his adventure. I was going to post a picture of the ugly...I mean beautiful fish, but Dan says I can't. It's a funny story, so if you want to know ask Dan or I and we will tell you and show you a picture privately.
Our schedule has slowed down a lot. Instead of having one night together as a family we get every night but Thursdays. It has been so nice having Dan home for dinner, and Selah gets to play with her daddy at night.
I can't leave before I talk about my sweet girl. Selah is learning so much. She knows all of her colors, except red is often times confused as orange. She is learning numbers as well. When counting in English she often times skips #4-8. However, can count from 1-10 in Japanese easily. She is beginning to understand the concept of one item becoming two when another is added. She can recognize a handfull of letters, and loves to sing and dance. Her favorite songs are, "Jesus Loves Me" "ABC's" "Happy Birthday to you" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." I will post a video at some point of her singing...very cute! It is hard to believe that in less than two months she will be 2 years old. Wow! She is such a beautiful gift from God and brings us immense joy. We are crazy in love with her, and to think that we are welcoming another one is a bit overwhelming. I have no doubt that I will have enough love for this little boy, because true love comes from God. It never ceases to exist. But this love is so captivating and brings such an overflowing feeling of joy that I am already bursting at the seams with Selah, I will pop completely with two of them. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a mommy!
