It's a....

At 19 weeks, we are announcing to the world that LS is a BOY!!!!!!

We are in love with this darling little man! 

There were only about 3% of our friends/family that thought it was a boy. 

Contrary to the rest of the 97% of people and to just about EVERY old wive's tale, our LS is definitely a boy! 

This is a happy mommy about our boy!

And now for a few highlight pictures from our gender reveal party. The rest will be on facebook soon!

Opening a few sweet gifts.

Celebrating our little man! 

The dearest family and friends!! (minus Autumn & Austin)

We passed out staches to commemorate the night!

I absolutely love this series of pictures with the mustaches :)

We don't have any pictures of the way we revealed. It was a precious memory that we caught on video but these are some blue-filled cupcakes modeled by the beautiful Brittani that we all enjoyed! 

My grandparents and parents ecstatic that it's a boy!

Cory's grandmother, his parents, brother, and sis-in-law rejoicing and in shock that it's a boy! :)

How far along? 19 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 7 lbs. 
Maternity clothes? Yes. 
Stretch marks? Not yet but cocoa butta has been bought!
Sleep: I am so tired! I've been going to sleep around midnight every night though because we've had so much going on. That makes anyone tired! 

Best moment this week: Our gender reveal party! It was the most precious, dear time that shocked everyone. It was so much fun. I just wish I could have spent more time with all of our people. Another best moment is just sharing our news with our dear friends here in Texas and just with everyone! This blog entry has been so long awaited and I've been ecstatic to share!! I accidentally erased all of my pictures last night so I was bummed to have to retake them and postpone the blog even longer.

Miss Anything? family and friends :) As far as missing previous things I could have before pregnancy-lots and lots of caffeine. I miss not having to worry about my caffeine intake. 
Movement:  I'm so longing to feel his movements! I was able to feel my little nephew's kick inside Kala's belly this weekend and it was the sweetest thing!
Food cravings: Hot chocolate with marshmallows and cracked sea salt on top. I really have been craving all things chocolate this week!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nausea is gone! 
Have you started to show yet: Yes, of course! 
Gender prediction: B-b-b-b-b-oy!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody, super moody 
Looking forward to: Feeling him moving inside of me. Once it starts, it will be constant I feel like. He is an active little guy in there. Every sonogram, he is turning flips and pushing on the walls of my uterus. :)

All about baby BOY Steiner:

Our munchkin is in the 95th percentile already they are saying and I am measuring a few weeks early. He also has "highly above average femur bones"...just like his daddy!

He very much wanted us to know that he is a boy. He didn't give us a very good facial shot. He cooperated well for the anatomy sonogram!

Please join us in praying for our baby's health and development, his salvation in Christ one day, for him to be a good sleeper when he arrives, and for his size. :) 

Our darling boy is happy to welcome his best friend and possible future wife today into this world Emma Kathryn Ilse! He can't wait to meet you already!!! :) Congrats Sara and Terry!

We are hoping to officially decide on his name very soon! 

Love to you ALL for your anticipation, excitement, and sweet words! 

You guys are great!
