It's a boy!

This week brought very exciting news for our family.  We are having a baby BOY!

Most importantly, everything on the anatomy scan looked perfect.  It was so cool getting to see the details inside his tiny body... brain, spine, kidneys, bladder, heart, bones, stomach, umbilical cord.  And also his face, arms, legs and feet!  He looked like a little Ludacris, throwin' dem bows with his arms up by his face.  Little stinker was in a funny position to give us a good profile shot of his face (he must not like cameras - already like his daddy).  He's estimated to be 11 oz. or the size of a mango.  We are so thankful for a healthy little baby!  No name yet, so he's still "Baby g."

And now another song that will get stuck in your head for days (In case you forgot - "This is how we do it...").  One of my favorite songs from John Lennon covered by another favorite, Ben Harper.  I can't wait to meet our beautiful boy!





Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)
John Lennon

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean.

  1. Awww, I love that song! I've never heard BH's version. It always makes me think of Mr. Holland's Opus.
