The Final Countdown!

Two weeks ago, I had my 36 week ultrasound. Kyle was very active and looked great! Dr. Andrews thought he was about 7 lbs. and wouldn't wait much longer before making his entrance into the world.  But two weeks later and possibly a pound or two more, he is still hanging out in there! He is having fun scraping his foot across my stomach, chilling in my rib cage, and just being big. I can't wait to hold him in my arms, but most of all, I can't wait for his sister to meet him. 

The other day, we were eating dinner, and I told her, "It's almost July. Do you know what that means?" 

She said, "I dunno!"

I said, "That means Kyle is coming verrrry soon."

She got the biggest smile, threw her arms in the air, and shouted, "Hooray!" 

Sweetest thing...

Then tonight, while I was putting her to bed, she asked, "When will Kyle come, Mommy?" 

"I don't know, but soon." 

She is beyond excited. Does she really know what's in store for her? No, but she sure wants that brother. :D

Here is the ultrasound picture from June 17. The ultrasound tech also said he has a little hair, and she confirmed that he is, in fact, a boy! LOL!

I go back to the doctor on Friday and get another ultrasound if he hasn't come yet. Dr. Andrews seems to think he will come before that. We'll see!!

Waiting for baby

Thought I'd get back on this neglected blog to update our growing family. Kyle Ryan Etchison is scheduled to arrive in July. We are very excited to welcome a baby boy to our family!
The finished nursery pics are on my other blog: www.handmadebyallisonblog.blogspot.com :)
