Well, after a scary day on Wed and Dr. visit on Thursday we found out that we are having another BOY!!! I never pictured myself raising 3 boys, but then again I never thought I would have 4 kids. Baby Boy
Arwood #3 looks great and is measuring a few days ahead. After seeing more than one ultrasound of baby boys Nate and I were able to tell it was a boy before the ultrasound tech even said anything! She did confirm what we already knew and said it was another boy. We had to come home and break the news to Jessi, who was not too excited about it at first. She seems to be warming up to the idea. I have told her how special being the only girl in a family of boys will be. I made some promises about never having to share a room, shopping, pedicures, dance classes, lots of shoes, and horseback riding lessons that I hope she forgets about! All I know is that she is destined to spend many, many hours at
ball fields! Jonathan was thrilled it was a boy and had several name suggestions. He is really into Star Wars right now and he knows the name has to start with a J so he thought "
Jubacca" would be a great name. We had to explain it was actually pronounced "
Chewbacca" so that would not work. He said "
ok, let's name him Jedi then." Not sure how we are going to get out of that one yet!
We are just thankful for a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy. I have been on
bed rest since Thursday and as long as everything is good I can go back to a somewhat normal routine tomorrow. Jase is walking more and more everyday and I told him that his days of being carried are over! At least for the next week I will not be lifting him anymore than necessary.
Have a good week!
"backcountry", playing in the river, swimming in the hot tub and playing putt putt. The picture with Jonathan, Micah and Jessi was before putt putt when they got to take a break and have a cherry icee. Jonathan said that was his favorite part of the trip! 
mos yesterday, so he is officially a "late" walker! He does not seem concerned by it. He is too busy learning to talk. His newest sayings are "oh wow", "dadie"(sadie, the dogs name) and counting! We say one and he says "dooo". Its cute, I think he learned it from having his picture taken so much and us saying "ok, one, two, three smile". And then of course his first sentence "Hey doodle!." He has been saying that for about 6 wks. I always say that when I go to get him up in the morning and one day when I went in his room he was sitting up and he said "Hey do-do!" I was shocked! He says it to everyone now, even people he sees on TV.
