Well, Carson got his wish for a little brother! Ever since we told him we were having a baby he has said to me, "Mommy, the baby has a penis." Well, that is very true indeed! I think it will be good for Carson to have someone to rough house with.
Our new little guy is measuring right at 20 weeks, just a few days ahead of schedule. The ultrasound tech said that he looked healthy and everything was developing fine. We are very excited that everything checked out okay. The only problem is we have no idea what to name him. I guess I'll be looking through name books or geneology to find something. We have two possibilites for names: Jonas and Mathew, but I am just not sure if either of them is right. I also like the name Mason, but Jeff thinks it sounds too much like Carson. Now I guess I'll be going through all of Carson's old clothes and sorting our what we can still use. The good news is that we'll only have to buy a few things this time around.
Also, an update on Carson. Yesterday he dislocated his elbow at church and we took him to the Emergency Room. The doctor snapped it back into place and in a few minutes he was back to his normal self. I am so thankful that no long term damage was done. Today he has been reliving the trauma. He brought his "baby" (a bear) up to me and said, "Mommy, my baby's arm go 'pop,pop'. He need to go to doctor." He did this several times this morning and then ended up cuddling his bear and saying, "It okay, doctor fix it." I felt so bad because I was the one who picked him up and hurt his elbow. I took some comfort when the ER doc told me that it happens all the time and he had even done it to his grandson on accident.
Today is Jeff's birthday. Tonight we are going to go to Red Lobster for dinner.

That is great!! They will be little buddys, and it is so very nice to reuse things congratulation to both of you.
Hey on Carsons arm, My sisters little girl had it happen 4 times the doc. said that it is the most common injury to children ages 2 to 5 he told then to just treat it normal but a little softer on that arm. We are glad it is ok.
Happy Birthday to you Jeff. What a great thing to find out on your birthday. Have a great day. We Love you
Maria, Ryan, TyLee ,and Ellie
That's great news! Carson will be so cute with a little brother!
I'm glad Carson's arm is "all better". Poor thing - he was so melancholy yesterday, you knew something was wrong. That's way cute of him re-enacting the trauma with his teddy bear!
P.S. on the baby name - my Mathew votes for Mathew - hands down.
Congrats! Life with two boys is an adventure but its great that Carson will have a best friend for a brother! I personaly pulling for jonas as a name.
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you!!! What a great birthday present for Jeff :) I'm glad everything looks good and the baby is healthy. Sorry about Carson's elbow, I'm glad he's ok. I'm partial to the name Jonas - love it :)
I am so excited that you guys are having another boy. It will be fun for both boys to drive mom and dad crazy with all the boy things that they will do together.
I am glad that everything turned out okay with Carson. I hear of that happening all the time too.
Oh, I was going to add, Carson's arm sounds like Nursemaid's elbow which is like a previous comment said.
Here's some info on it:
