No wonder I was so tired...a lot happened in 5 weeks! Below is one of the pictures from an optional sonogram done when I was 13 weeks along. This sonogram is not for determining gender, but the sonographer was 95% sure of her guess. There is proof on another picture, which would mean something has occurred that has not happened in either of our families for at least our generation (except for Jeff). My dad is an only child, my mom has a sister with 2 daughters, and I have two sisters with a niece. Jeff's mom has a sister and a brother, a daughter (Jeff's sister), and he has two girl cousins (one with a daughter). That's a whole lot of estrogen!

Jeff's mom was at the sonogram, and I called my mom right away to tell her the news. Knowing that we would see my family the following weekend we decided to be creative...not sure how mom kept the secret. We all went to breakfast Saturday morning, and my dad opened his birthday present from his first grandson. My dad took me to many pitching lessons and played catch in the backyard no matter how many times I nailed him with a wild throw. This time it will be a baseball instead of a softball.
Angie reading over my dad's shoulder and figuring it out.
Jeff now has a hockey playing, fishing, car fixing, gettin' dirty buddy because it's a boy!! It is so fun to refer to Baby Fletcher with guesses about his personality. We will have another sonogram when we will confirm this news at 19 weeks on April 6. We got to break the news to all of Jeff's family in person, which was really fun! Jeff found a sweet poem about passing on a name and reworded it a bit for Nana...she knew what it meant before she even finished. Jeff didn't realize it, but Cheryl pointed out that he had even used blue ink. They are thrilled that the Fletcher name will continue! I'm pretty excited...I could end up with a blonde cutie like this...
When we got to tell Jeff's sister, Leanne she had one of the cutest outfits I have ever seen. We would put this on a girl too, but Baby Boy Fletcher will look so cute in this! Aunt Lannie is celebrating her engagement to Matt the same week! Looks like we get to call him Uncle Matt now!
