Think Blue! It's a BOY!

We had great news today  -  baby #3, due in early July, is going to be a little BOY! Shocker! We were a little surprised in the ultrasound room, somehow expecting that we were destined to be the parents of girls.

But no - pecker clearly spotted! Wow!!
(see arrow indicating pecker below - hee hee. Of course I asked for a printout!!).

Olivia and Ian & Fam

We're both very excited. Nice to have the variety and a different experience this time around, and it saves us from having to bribe Maya into accepting another baby sister. She was adamant!!  "No mommy, I do NOT want another baby sister, I WANT a baby brother!" Sheesh. Not sure why she thinks a baby brother is going to be less annoying (he'll definitely still mess with your stuff Maya) but apparently it will be an easier sell.

She also picked out a name - Ian, after Olivia's younger brother Ian. Not sure she'll get her wish there, but hopefully the news will be good enough. Laila is too little to know any better, she's 18 months, total busy body in her toddlerhood. But she'll be a few weeks shy of 2 when this one arrives and "baby" is already part of her vocabulary - so hopefully she'll take kindly to him.

Other than the baby news we're busy hunting for houses in Westchester, visiting frequently and sizing up potentials. Definitely looking forward to the move at this point and being in a house with a yard. We'll keep y'all posted!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Much love -
Verena, Brian, Maya, Laila and little boy
