OH BOY IT'S A BOY

Well as you know we found out about a month and a half early that we are having a BOY! My mom's amazing friend Jean is an ultrasound tech and she took us in a few weeks early just for fun. I didn't get my hopes up to find out because I knew we were ahead of the game. My mom was able to come and Tyson and I sat in anticipation as we saw a little baby on the screen. Jean looked around and took all the measurements, pointed out the kidneys, and the bladder, and the stomach...etc. She was definitely delaying on purpose (ha ha). Then she got a HUGE grin on her face and announced I know what it is....It felt like 20 min but I think it was really 2 seconds and she said "It's a BOY". SO EXCITING! Tyson was so excited to find he is having a son.
Now we are on to picking a name. It's harder than it looks...it feels like a HUGE decision. After the ultrasound we went to my parents and of course everyone was putting in their 2 cents. In honor of the Shaw girls I through out the name PATRICK! But sorry ladies Tyson's not a big fan. Erin I thank you for offering the name to me but now I leave it to Callie...:-) In loving memory of dear Patrick hopefully my real child will not need as many spankings. HA HA So far the front runner in the name department is Sawyer James. We'll see if it sticks. Tyson is really into name meanings so he wants to find out more about what Sawyer means. James is his favorite book in the Bible. I will be sure to let you all know when we are 100% set on a name. For now here are a few pictures.
I love this one...you can see his little legs. He was bouncing all over the place. This little guy is already on the move. He was waving his arms and touching his toes. :-)

His sweet little face.






This one keeps posting sideways and I can't fix it....anyway IT'S A BOY. :-)
