It's a boy! We had the ultrasound this morning! We each wore the color to represent our guess - boy or girl. Big Sis has been betting on pink, but changed her mind last minute. Good choice. Our little guy looks healthy - he even gave us a "thumbs up" from in the womb. The ultrasound tech did some nice pushing and got him to move to a new position so she could measure his head - which mom is thankful for because the new pose feels more comfortable!! Now that we can start calling him "him" instead of "it," it's all seeming much more real. We have so much planning and preparing to do! So, for the next few months, we'll focus on all the family stuff going on and we'll: 
Enjoy our current rides (we'll have to buy a mini van soon).
Research how to be a big sis to a little bro (or parents to a son! <--- that's fun to say!).
Stretch out for some prenatal Pilate's.**We'd also like to thank everyone for your love, support, fasting and prayers in behalf of our family. My parents and I noted the special feelings of generosity and care coming from our friends and family - we feel so blessed. Thank you!

This is the cutest post. Love it! Yay for a boy. So excited!!! Such a cute way of having the girls be included in this fun adventure. We love you guys! -Michelle and James (And Jack and Layna too of course)
Yay! Congrats! Boys are a lot of fun and some like mine have a lot of energy. So, prepare all of your energy reserves just in case.
wahoo! congrats jes! this will be such an adventure!
Yahooo! can we start planning the betrothal? Its not too soon right? Why did we do away with arranged marriages anyway?
and tell Big girl to keep up the Pilates!!! Its also a yoga pose she's demo-ing and her form is great I might add.
Congrats! A boy will be so fun. But, that't not the real reason why I'm commenting. Today in YW we had a lesson on the home environment and how to make it a place where the spirit can dwell and I thought of you. I just want to say that I think you do an excellent job of teaching your girls the gospel, abc's, number, anatomy... :) You are amazing! Just wanted to let you know I admire that in you. You seem so organized and are doing a great job of teaching them from home. Any words of wisdoms on how to tackle the cleaning, cooking, teaching all in one day?
Congratulations!! Boys are great, especially with older sisters to guide them.
