A Baby Brother for Lydia and Angel Harry

Henry and I have wonderful news to share with all of you who have been following our family on 'Harry's Journey'.

We are thrilled to let all of you know that I am 15 weeks pregnant with a baby boy, due March 24th 2010. We decided we wanted to know whether we were having a boy or girl - we've had enough surprises to last a lifetime these past 1.5 years, and for all three of us it was important to know what to expect in March.

Lydia is slowly coming around to the idea of another brother. She *really* wants a little sister, so was pretty disappointed to find out the baby is a boy. But now she has 5 months to adjust to that fact!

Henry and I are both a bit shocked - I was sure the baby was a girl, because so far my pregnancy has been much more like Lydia's than Harry's.

I'll try to scan our first ultrasound pictures, which we got on Monday. We got a great shot of his profile and to me he looks exactly like Lydia and Harry - same de Jong nose and same mouth as his big brother and sister. I am sure we'll get another blond haired, blue/green eyed clone of Henry!!!

Love,
Cynthia

the mystery of god's goodness continues.

celebrating with you.

when micah was born a boy, naomi consoled herself saying, "at least you'll let me dress him like a girl."

we did.
