It's a ...


BOY!!

Henry Mercer VandenBerg (named after Nick's father, Arthur Henry VandenBerg ... Mercer is Nick's favorite boy name) is happy and healthy in there... according to the ultrasound tech he's measuring 2 weeks ahead, and according to my belly measurements he's measuring 3 weeks ahead!! If I hadn't already had 3 early ultrasounds, they would have moved my due date up, but since those were specific to the date - we just know he's a giant! He's also already 1lb 1 oz (the baby book says he should be only 9oz right now). My OB says I will probably have more ultrasounds as baby gets even bigger to keep track of that!

Here are some pics of the big boy:



Thank you all for your support and prayers - it means so much to Nick and I - we are beyond thrilled that everything is going good and our son is happy and healthy in there!
