Clear for Take-off!!!

Well, we just got home from our ultrasound.... The ultrasound technician informed us that Matthew is locked and loaded which means head down and ready for exit. We were wondering whether we needed to call the traffic control tower to request a fly-by before his arrival. She also told us she was willing to stake her entire week's pay on the fact that Matthew was a boy (keep in mind this was the same girl who told us we were having a little girl 14 weeks ago).

The BIGGEST news of all is that Matthew is weighing in at a hefty 6 lbs 6 ozs today. Since we have 6 weeks to go, there is a great possibilty that our little guy might be wearing toddler clothes home from the hospital! We weren't sure whether Ryan's nightly dose of ice cream has caused our baby's large size or the entire package of sandwich cookies Jamie has had over the last week. Either way, we both decided to celebrate with a large twist ice cream cone from Zesto's on the way home! Jamie has one more doctor's appointment Friday afternoon to get cleared for camp and then we will be praying for a delivery sometime after July 27th! Gotta start packing! Have a great week!

Don't throw out the newborn clothes quite yet - they thought Abby was going to be a whopper and she was only 8 pounds. We had to go out and buy clothes for her since we had only big things. God bless as you wait out the last few weeks :-)

Can't hardly wait for Matthew's big arrival. I am continually praying for everyone during this exciting time!! Hope you both have fun at camp next week.

Love,
Aunt Rachel :)
