The Results are in.....

This morning we had our very big, very important ultrasound.  And the results are in, first the important stuff.  Baby Perillo II is doing great, is lying breech but that is no biggie now and since we are having a c-section it isn't the end of the world.  Baby Perillo II weights about 11 ounces and is right on target for growth, its heart looks good and sounds good and beats about 143 bpm which is in the normal range so everything went well.

Now for what I am sure everyone has been waiting for (I know I was awaiting this part) we also were able to find out the sex of Baby Perillo II, so here goes....

Jolie will be a Big Sister (that we all know) but she will be happy to know that she is going to have a Baby Sister.  That's right, Baby Perillo II is a girl and now has her own name.  Her name isn't going to be Baby Perillo II, it is.....

Spilling the Beans, Part I

So today is the day we have decided to tell my parents about Baby Peanut coming in December of this year. Still not sure how we are going to tell them but I just know they are going to be excited as my Dad asked for his birthday in February for another grandchild, so it wasn't for his birthday but Peanut will be here in time to be his Christmas present.

I think I am going to print a copy of the picture of the three pregnancy test we took, put it in a frame and wrap it in Christmas wrapping paper and just tell them that we wanted to let them know about their Christmas present a little in advance. We will see how it goes and if that is what we do but it should be fun, I am super excited. Rich will tell his Mom in a couple of weeks, probably, the timing of that is up to him but I am ready to tell my parents, knowing for 10 plus days and not telling them is already killing me.
