A hand...
The news is finally in... In the pictures above, just look for the arrow pointing to the PROOF that Nathan is going to have a little BROTHER! That's right, we don't have to go buy new girl clothes, pink carseats, froofy lacy stuff, Suburban-Girl Barbie, or a bat to keep all of your boys away. Yep, another boy means that we get to use the same hand-me-down clothes that Nathan wore (sorry kid, but at least he's well dressed), I get another wrestling partner, and most importantly we'll have two children playing on the Cougar football team in 19 years or so.
We're pretty excited (and a little relieved) to be having the second boy. Beth has always figured she was going to be a mom of boys. So far... she's right.
Nothing overly exciting about the ultrasound other than that. The baby was awake during the ultrasound, so it just kept moving all over the place as we watched it. It has all it's arms and legs, and such, so that's good. The only thing is that the umbilical cord isn'tconnected to the placenta in the middle as is normal, it's on the side a bit. So the baby might not be getting all of the nutrients that it would if it was connected normally. However, he said at this point it's nothing to be concerned about and this happens regularly, but if it's not getting all of the nutrients, Beth just has to eat more protein... And we all know what that means... STEAK!!! Any excuse for more meat is fine by me! Maybe we can get Meat Lover's Pizza instead of Cheese tonight. (Kidding... Sort of)
Anyway, that's the exciting update from us about the newest member of the family! We'll let you know if/when anything exciting comes up! Thanks for getting excited with us.
Happy Halloween!

CONGRATULATIONS! Beth, I am excited for you, you are a strong woman or else God wouldn't give you so many boys to raise (I mean Aaron too). hehe. We will be praying for healthy months ahead for both momma and baby!
I think I see Beth's nose! Those boys are going to be so much fun...lots of activity at the Soderlund place that's for sure!
Yay! Reid & Keaton will have a playmate! We're excited for you guys.
Congratulations you two! Sarah thought it would be a boy, I was leaning towards a girl. Maybe Aaron can splurge on a new bottle of ketchup since he won't have to buy new clothes. :)
