Baby Raphael is.....A BOY!!!!

So yesterday Jasen and I had the big appointment to find out the sex of our little one.  Baby was being quite shy for most of the ultrasound, and we had almost given up on finding out the sex yesterday, when baby decided to uncross his legs, showing us his parts! There was no mistake that our baby is a boy.  :)

It is very surreal since several nights before the appointment I woke up from a dream where my Papa (who recently passed away) was holding a little boy on his lap in his backyard in Florida.....I believe it was my Papa's way of preparing me, and reminding me that our baby is a gift from God. 

Tomorrow I get to spend a fun day with my mom looking a boy stuff, and over spring break Jasen and I plan to begin working on the baby's room by painting, and setting up the crib and changing table.  Hard to believe we are half way there, and that soon enough we will be holding our precious miracle. 

Me at 5 months pregnant, I am definitely showing now, and there isn't much hiding it! 

Today my sister came by after I got home from work with a gift from Auntie Allison.  Jasen and I really got a kick out of these cute outfits!  Thank you Allie! They are perfect!!!
