We're Having a Boy!!

Possibly our boy at 1 day old.
Around Christmastime we're getting our baby boy.  
He will arrive on a plane from Illinois.
I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!

I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for (mom) Sally to go into labor.  She was due on November 3rd but they arrived on November 1st.  I was hoping for a Halloween baby but it is close enough!  I am definitely already thinking of a puppy costume 1st birthday party!

This is Sally, a St. Bernard, and the mother of our baby boy
.

This is Bodie.  
He's a standard poodle and the daddy of our baby boy.

 Here is Sally nursing her nine babies (5 male and 4 female) just this afternoon.  What a good mommmy!
 They are so cute and tiny!  These St. Berdoodles are expected to be around 80-110 lbs.  They are known to have great temperaments and to be very bright.  They are also usually hypoallergenic which is why we chose this puppy since I am allergic to dogs.
 I cannot wait to bring our baby boy home!  It will be a long 8 weeks of waiting but it will surely be worth the wait. 

We weren't going to tell the kids but when I received these pictures today we wanted to tell them!  We couldn't wait.  They are soooo excited.  Ella said, "I will take good care of him and feed him my booby.  I will walk him too."  Lilly promises to walk him, pick up poop (as long as she doesn't get poop on her hand), feed him, and love him.  We're working on a name.
