One of my favorite children’s books is The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. Perhaps because it makes me think of all of those fun snowy days I experienced growing up. We brought Jonah out in our snowy day today, but he was a little too young to experience all that the little boy did in The Snowy Day. We certainly had fun though!

Jonah is trying out his new sailboat towel from Grandma and Grandpa Nelson.
Jonah and his friend Silas playing together a few weeks ago. I never was able to get a good pic.
Jonah as a future SLP?!?! He found my work ID badge in my purse and even managed to put it on the right way. Smart kid…or nosy!

We had our anatomy ultrasound yesterday morning. Of course, we were excited about finding out the gender of our baby, but even more important was making sure that the baby was healthy. Although I have been feeling the baby move pretty consistently for a few weeks now (this one is already competing with Jonah for activity level in utero!), the pregnancy became even more real when we caught that first glimpse of our little one on the screen. We are so thankful to be able to report that the baby looks healthy so far – 4 limbs, heart, stomach, bladder, 5 fingers on each hand!
And, we are super excited to be able to announce that Jonah is going to have a little brother…It’s a BOY! We were both shocked to hear the gender, but are thrilled about having two boys 20 months apart who, prayerfully, will grow up to be best buds. I was convinced that we were having a girl since this pregnancy has been so different from my pregnancy with Jonah.
Baby Boy was looking up at us most of the ultrasound. It was hard to see what gender he was as he was facing up and had his legs pulled up in front of him for much of the time. Baby Boy had his hands in his face throughout the ultrasound, just like Jonah.
It was such a blessing to be able to see our little one yesterday. We thank God for his faithfulness in growing and developing our baby inside of me!
Wondering about a name? We are too. We don’t really have any good possibilities at this point. It’s a good thing that we have another 20 weeks to decide. Suggestions are welcomed!

The game isn’t quite over, but I think we’ll pull it off (27-3 with 6:00 left). Jonah slept for most of the game today, but he certainly enjoyed watching it with Daddy when he woke up. Maybe he will even get to watch a bit of next week’s game against the Saints!

Jonah brought home his first art project made in Sunday School today! He is still in the nursery for Sunday School, but the 2&3s class invited him to their class to make handprints today. I don’t think we’ll be the type to hang every one of our kids’ art projects on the refrigerator, but we have hung this special one up for the time being. Wow, Jonah is getting so big!
