Tuesday night I kept having a dream over and over again about Grant and a little boy playing superheroes, dressed in capes and diapers. Finally, I woke up enough to consider why I was having this dream. I felt very strongly that Heavenly Father, knowing how much I wanted a girl, was telling me that he was sending a son and helping me to feel excited for him! So, when the ultrasound confirmed that a son was coming, I wasn't surprised. Still a bit disappointed, I admit, but now that we have a name chosen and I've started thinking about all the joy Grant will have with a brother, that disappointment is gone! It just means we'll have at least 3 kids!
So, here comes Carson! He's doing great. Everything looks perfect, he's strong and active. The technician was surprised at how much muscle mass he could see already developing; he kept saying that the baby was really working out in there. He is! I can feel him flipping around a ton already. The whole hour I was there, Carson kept showing off his biceps. Seriously! We got tons of chances to look at his arm! I am so excited for another boy. I can still call home and ask, "How are my boys?" Plus, I think of the fun my brothers had with each other, and I am thrilled for Grant to have a best friend.
Here's some photos:
This is a side shot. You can see his head, arm, and crossed legs.
His whole body!
"Look, Mom, see my guns?"
