Baby Toole is a boy!!!

Well, we had our big ultrasound last Monday and our baby boy was not shy! In fact, he was very cooperative and let the tech get all the shots and measurements she needed. It is amazing how much has changed since our last ultrasound! Everything was perfect, and measured spot on at 19 weeks. She measured all the body parts, and we also saw the brain, the 4 chambers of the heart, the kidneys, and the spine, which the tech said all look great! Here is how we told our parents what we are having:

My parents- we sent them a package that had 2 wrapped packages, one labeled Bubbe (Grandma) and one labeled Zaide (Grandpa). My Mom's contained chocolate and bubble gum cigars and my Dad's had a real cigar; all were labeled "It's a boy". Here are some pictures- thank you Sarah for playing photographer!

One final touch


"What is the arrow pointing to?"

The revealing ultrasound (more pictures to come- Sean left them at work!)

For Sean's parents, we baked cupcakes and filled the center with blue icing.

All ready!



Is Bailey going to have a little brother or sister??

We are so excited for our baby boy! His name will be Jacob Walter. Jacob is a name we both really like, and Walter is Sean's middle name, his Dad's middle name, his Grandfather's middle name, his Great-Grandfather's first name...we're not sure how far back it goes!
