In and out of weeds and dirt.
squealing, laughing, getting hurt.
Arms held out for loves and hugs.
Tiny fingers finding bugs.
Rough and tumble, sweet and shy.
Snuggling for a lullaby.
Who could name the countless joys
That come from raising little boys."

Well, as you might have guessed we are having another little boy! I had an ultra sound today and my doctor said that he is 90% sure (the ultra sound was a little fuzzy). I have a 3D ultra sound scheduled for January 7th so I'll be able to post pictures then. The whole family came with me today and while we were waiting I asked the boys what they were hoping for. Jamesy had been consistant in the past with hoping for a little sister and still responded the same today. Alex has switched back and forth so I was curious to see what he would say today. He said that he was hoping for a rock star or a Sith Lord, but definently a boy! What a funny kid! Well he got the boy part right, hopefully this baby doesn't end up a Sith Lord though. I really need to get Alex interested in something else besides Star Wars. We are all very excited and glad that this baby finally has an identity. We plan to name him Rand Bradley Peterson. We came up with the name Rand from a character in a book that James lent me on our first date. The name Bradley is for James's older brother that he really admires.

I am so happy!! But secretivly I was hoping for a girl so I could live through you! Anyway as long as the baby is healthy, right? That is all that is important and well...as long as its NOT a sith lord too! :)
Congratulations! That is so exciting! I love what Alex said. Caleb is obsessed with Star Wars too. I love what you said about your dog - poor dog is right! I don't know how family members/pets survive with these crazy kids running around! Is that name from The Wheel of Time by any chance? I love it. I want to see a picture of you pregnant because I bet you gain about 10 lbs and your thighs don't even rub together (in other words you are a cute preggo like Kira)!
HOORAY HOORAY!! So glad to hear all is going well. I was very entertained with the whole sith lord conversation. Your boys sure have great imaginations!! You look great by the way, keep the posts coming!
Whoo Hooo! Boys, boys, boys... congrats. I want to see a pregoo picture too - just because I love to see pictures of everyone. They don't seem so far away then. Hey, email me your new address when you have minute. Rndllfam@sssnet.com
I am so excited! He is going to be so cute and of coarse I will be his favorite aunt! You have such cute boys! How fun! I can't wait to make them all matching PJ's!
no pink for you! congrats on the boy!
Congrats! Alex says the funniest things. I like the name.
yay! Now you don't have to go buy everything again. They will all be best friends. I am so excited and glad that everything is going well. I guess it is something in that Ellsworth base water. Watch out!!
I am so excited for you!!! I love the name too. I hope everything else is going well with you. I miss you. I think Bonnie was mistaken though...I will be the favorite aunt:)
Luke introduced me to fantasy novels too and I am addicted now! When it was just the two of us he used to read The Wheel of Time to me in bed. I am obsessed with Harry Potter now and can't wait to start the Twilight series. What is James going to do in Abilene? How long are you going to be there? You know Sharla is still there, right? Any day now is right! It took 10 months for Luke to get approved for retraining and every time we called we were told "any day now..." I sincerely hope Abilene is better than San Angelo! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas : )
Congratulations! I need a good mother out there raising good sons for all my daughters to date or maybe we could just trade a child (your sick of Star Wars and I'm sick of princesses)!
Congratulations! You're boys are great!
Oh Mary how our lives are the same. You know that I know what your thoughts are right now better than most. What a wonderful blessing and what fun we will have with all our boys. Congratulations!Enough Star Wars, NEVER!
Yay! I need three good boys for my three silly girls! Everything is aligning perfectly. :) Congrats!
How fun for you! Three boys, wow! For about five minutes, i was actually upset that Kaleigh was a girl, I wanted a whole bunch of boys, so I'm very excited for you! It's going to be a blast! Hope you are feeling well and Merry late Christmas!
I love that name, and the history behind it. Yay for boys!
