A boy!
We may not have any ultrasound pics to show that he has a head or fingers or toes, but we certainly have 3 pics to show it's a boy...when the MD handed us the printout of the photos this morning, the nurse commented, "oh he didn't get a shot of the head..." Oh no, but it's a boy, and we're excited. Some of you may understand this, but while I'm really excited for this new adventure, part of me was sort of sad that it wasn't another girl...I've had a similar experience with all 3 of my pregnancies now...there's such a finality to finding out the gender of the baby, and I always mourn a little bit for what "isn't." Does that make sense? The feeling always goes away quickly as excitement sets in for what "is." Good bye Brooke...hello.......we'll see! So now we're on to picking out paint and fabric for this little boy's room...that he'll have all to himself! That thought alone makes me happy. In this family, babies #1 and #3 are the ones that will get to enjoy "solo habitation" at least for a few years...I'm going to thoroughly enjoy not having another child in the room to wake him up.
We are in the final days of closing escrow...it's been exciting, complicated and stressful. Directly after our ultrasound this morning we picked up the kids and drove out to Glendora to sign all the loan documents at the escrow office. There are 2 pages of fees...no wonder it's so expensive to buy a house...you get the house, and the loan officer, agent, escrow agent, title agent, etc. all get to go to Hawaii on our bill...there are 2 fees on there to pay the messenger and the messenger company to have our docs delivered to Irvine...that one irks me...but hopefully this will all be over in a few days, and we'll be painting rooms and mowing our lawn before we know it...

Congrats on having a boy!!!! That is so fun. I think I will also be a little sad when I have a boy. Just because I'm so used to having my girls. We want to see pictures of the house. Are you waiting until you move in or can we see now? So excited for you!

Congratulations--we are so happy for you guys!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is so exciting!!! I'm really happy that you'll be adding a boy to the Hyer mix. I bet Andy is especially thrilled to have some more testosterone in the house!!
That is great about the house and the boy! Congrats!
Yay for boys! I think you and Megan are the only ones having boys this year. You'll love a boy. They're so fun! One boy and two girls...it's the way to go :) (we're just doing things opposite)
Congratulations!! That is so exciting, especially for Andy! That is awesome about your house. You guys have waited a long time. It's so great that you are finally getting it! I need to read up on more of your blog to catch up on all the details! Good luck with it all.
Congrats on a boy!! We´re super excited for you guys. Boys are a fun change. And exciting that your house is almost ready for you guys to move in! Dreamy.
Oh my gosh! Congratulations on your boy! I just listened to my voicemail this morning - I'm still behind on "life". But, YAY!!!
I'm also so happy for your house. I need to come help you pack!
May I be the millionth person to say...Congrats! Love my boy but there is one downfall...lack of cute shoes! Just got back from shopping. Rows and rows of cute girl shoes. One row of extremely ugly and not-so ugly shoes for the boys. Will he be scarred if I dress him in mary janes? LOL Love you Hyers!
