Best Moment this week: Finding out we are having a little boy!

We got out and did some shopping at a local consignment sale that we go to every year and bought some stuff for our new little baby! It was so weird looking at all the blue and brown, but LOVED it!! Lydia has also been talking a lot more about her baby brother. It's so sweet. Yesterday we were cuddling on the couch and she said "Mommy, this is how I'm going to hold my baby brother"! Is that not too sweet! And then she told me that he was going to need a blankie. Guess we'll be shopping for one soon! She's going to be the best big sister!
