It's a ......

B O Y !

8 years ago today, we committed our relationship before God, our family, and our friends. It's nothing but God's blessings over our lives that we find out on our 8th Wedding anniversary that we are adding baby boy #2 to our family. The number "8" in the bible means "New Beginnings". God continues to amaze us with his wondrous ways.

We had a great ultrasound with Dr. Sawyer. We told him that we wanted to find out the gender later on that night as we enjoyed our anniversary dinner. Doc thought that was a great idea and made us look away as watched the screen to see if we were team pink ... or blue.

Later on that evening, David and I enjoyed an amazing dinner at Eddie V's in Scottsdale. This is one of our favorite places to enjoy a fine dining experience. We had a delicious appetizer, salad, and entree. Shortly before dessert was asked our server to help us out and explained what special surprise we had and asked him to do our "reveal" when he came and brought our dessert out. A few minutes later he arrived with a decorated plate topped with a chocolate cake and 3 "blue" candles. I didn't catch on at first, and then David said "Awww, there it is" and pointed out the candles. We were shocked and excited to see that Braylon was right this entire time, and God is giving him a baby brother.

Before we went to pick Bray up from Nana's house, we stopped at the party store. We purchased blue balloons, some sports theme balloons (thanks to daddy) and a small little blue owl, that we later named "ice cube". When we got home, we showed Bray his surprise and although it was wayyyy past his bedtime he seemed very excited to be having a baby brother.

We cannot wait to meet this little guy, what a joy its going to be to have little brothers running around. Brother relationships are so special and unique and I am so excited to watch these two grow up together.
