We are over the moon excited to announce that we are having a baby boy!!! I'm still in shock (and a little scared, ha!) but we can't wait for this new adventure! We decided to find out at 14 weeks because I just couldn't wait any longer. So we went to the Fetal Studio in the mall and it was so fun to have our little family there to hear the big news. And the doctor said he was 300% certain it was a boy so he better be right!

Holden is very excited and Hattie is still warming up to the idea and said that she will miss all the clothes. Sean of course is beyond thrilled to add some testosterone to this crazy bunch of girls. I of course, am excited to be adding some blue to our sea of pink and have already started shopping for this little mister. Now if only we could decide on a name...
