We are Having a Boy!

Our family has had a wonderful week. My daughter Melody is 5 months pregnant and came to Kelowna to have an ultra sound done to determine the gender of the baby. We have been holding our breath wondering whether we would be buying frilly dresses or jeans. On Monday the 19th Melody, myself, her sister Simone, and her mother in law Tina drove to "Sneak a Peak" ultra sound centre where we found out that Melody and Scott are having a son. We were jumping up and down crying and laughing with excitement in the room. You will see in the picture above that Melody is laying on the bed telling her husband the news and Tina and I are giving the "thumbs up". Simone graciously took the picture. It is amazing and certainly a true miracle to see this little boy so perfect and sucking his thumb, kicking his mommy, covering his eyes with his hands (as if to say-"quit looking at me"). Tina bought Melody a stuffed bear from the centre. They record the baby's heart beat and put it in the bear. When we squeeze the bear's tummy-voila-there is his precious 135 beats per minute heart rate. I am so happy and blessed that I will have a grandson soon.

After leaving the centre, we went on a shopping spree buying blue everything! Tina and I laugh about how we whipped out our ultra sound picture for the sales clerks saying "do you want to see our grandson?" LOL. Of course our little grandson weighs only 11 ounces and is small and fairly skinny yet-but to us he is a big beautiful boy!!
We decided to have a "reveal" party for family. As you will see in the pictures above, I bought blue cupcakes, and Tina put together an assortment of blue things such as blue corn chips, blueberries, blue cheese, blue napkins, and my personal favourite...cocktail wieners!! We had a wonderful evening and celebrated our blessings and ohhhhed and ahhhhed over all the baby clothes Melody will take home to Fort McMurray. So- here is to the miracle of life, precious babies and grandbabies, and God bless little boys!!
