I am so excited that I just HAD to share this with you all!! I had an Ultrasound today approx 28.5 weeks, and it's just so cute. Many of you know it wasn't long ago that we learned this baby does not have a cleft, but this is the first real glimpse of his face, so now it feels *real* to me that he is not affected. I just had to show you my new angel! I am so proud and excited. He looks just like his older brother, and of course, just like Daddy! I don't see any of me in there, but that's ok... I love that they look like my hubby!

OMG!!!! OMG!!!!! He's GORGEOUS!!!

{Do you think he looks a little like me??} LOL

Oh, I'm so happpppeeeeee!!!!

Congratulations!! {{hug}}
Deanna

Still so excited. Gracious sakes. You'd think I was getting a new nephew or something.

Yahooo!!!

Deanna

You know Deanna... I think he has your eyes! hehehehe!! Isn't he pretty?? Ok, not the right word, but I just can't stop looking at it and giggling! And you ARE getting a new nephew... a new CAKE nephew!!

So precious!!!!!!!!! Is your older son excited to be getting a baby brother?! And on a different note...it's amazing to me what technology there is now--that picture is amazing!

Congrats!!! what a great picture!!!! he looks so precious

Do I see an edible image of this on an upcoming cake??? Very sweet Melvira. Glad things are going well.

Oooooh!! Isn't he PRECIOUS???

What a great picture, too. I'm so excited for ya, congratulations!

Oh yes, my "big boy" (it's SO hard to call him that... he's still my baby!) is very excited to become a big brother! He will turn 3 within a few days of the new baby's arrival, so there will be enough of an age gap that he will be super helpful! (He's been practicing on his 9 month old nephew!) He is so cute... he kisses and pats my tummy and says 'baby'! It's adorable! I agree that the technology amazes me!! That clear of a picture all the way through my 'layers'! It's unbelievable!

Hmmm... that would make an adorable cake, wouldn't it?? Great idea Bob! (See, now if I do it, it's YOUR fault! Heheheh!)

That is so amazing, to be able to have a picture before he arrives! Beautiful baby!

Aren't those ultra sound pictures amazing? They didn't have that yet with my last child, that was 35 years ago. And we did not know the sex. If I were having children today I would want to know everything. He looks so beautiful , have you thought of a name yet for this little guy?

That is truly awesome! You are the best for sharing this too!

the picture looks like an older black and white oil painting of someone holding a newborn's face.

He's got CURVY lips.

That is a really nice ultrasound shot.

CONGRATS!! CONGRATS!!! CONGRATS!!!

AMAZING!!! I love the new ultrasound pictures. I have been wondering how you were doing. I am so happy for you. Congratulations.

Thanks everyone for sharing this with me... you know you're like family, so I had to share my joy!

We had a hard time with the name, my DH was absolutely not liking anything I came up with. (But didn't have any suggestions of his own!) The only thing he liked from my list was Gabriel, and I liked it at first, but now I am leaning more to Zachary and DH has agreed with that one. So it will be one of those I am sure. I like Gabriel, but the more I used it, the more I liked Zachary! So I tried that for 2 weeks and it's stuck fairly well! With my first son we named him the day we found out he was a boy, and it never waivered, so I'm not used to being unsure about it!! I think the problem is that Daddy didn't like the name that I had sort of already chosen. That made it harder!

Anyway, all I have to do now it get those stupid new windows in the nursery, then I can start decorating! I have this huge pile of decor and stuff just waiting! The wallpaper border is haunting me!! AHHH!!!

What a great ultra sound photo. He's absolutely precious!

So we're going with Zachary Dean (after me)?
kidding

Zachary Bob Dean?

LOL

He's still so cute. I had to come check on him again today.

Deanna

"Little Bobby Wonderbuns". Isn't that what they say about baby butts?

Zachary Bob Dean??? Isn't that child abuse?? hahaha! And, I hate to admit, the child is probably going to end up being called "Little Bobby Wonderbuns" a few times now! That's cute and funny! Ok, wait, my husband came up with a compromise...

Ladies and gentleman, I'd like to introduce "Zachary Dean Wonderbuns!" Heheheheheeh! He'd crap if I named him that! Actually Deanna, you'd like the middle name I have picked... Andrew! My sister's middle name is Anne, so I wanted to get that in there a little, and it could also be for you! I guess it depends on if you make him a fancy fondant horse or not! Heheheh. Kidding!

You guys are too funny! You keep me smiling!

What an awesome picture!!!! I am so happpppyyyyyy for you and your family. The technology today just amazes me. It is truly an awesome picture.
Faye

Okay, you can call him Zachary Andrew but when I pronounce it, I'll say it "Zachary (de)AN(na)DREW." LOL

Then, for just a second, I thought my nephew Andrew's birthday was near your due date, but then I realized it's not Andrew's birthday, it's his little brother's birthday near your due date. Oh well, cool coincidence averted.

Deanna

You think Deannadrew is good, you should meet my sister. Her name is Cindy. Her ex's name is Perry. They had a daughter. Cindy wanted to combine their names but then couldn't decide on a middle name of Sarah, Anna, or Lea, so she named her daughter Cerry Sarannalea. Pronounce it Carrie Sa-RON-ah-lee.

<shaking head> Poor kid.

Deanna

Oh my... and they wonder why she hates them!

Now little Bobby Wonderbuns would be thrilled and honored at his name!

Melvira, what a beautiful picture of your gorgeous baby. He looks like he is posing for you so you can get a great pic of him. Glad everything is going well with the pregnancy.

For the record, I like Zachary.

I vote for Zachary as well! That is my only grandson's name, and he is a real sweetie!

Happy Easter, Zachary! And everyone else at Melvira's house!

Deanna
