It's a BOY! Our little buddy #2

First I have to thank the LORD for blessing me with a healthy baby.  I could have cared less about the gender when we went in for our ultrasound...I just needed to know this baby was growing properly, and HEALTHY!  I knew before she even asked us if we wanted to know if it was a boy or girl, I saw his little parts =)  It's was so wonderful to see him, and now I'm even more eager to bring this little guy into the world...come on July!!!  Although, I need to enjoy each day he's still in my tummy, because it's such an amazing feeling, truly a miracle with them inside, one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced.  He's such a wiggle worm!  Shane & the kids can now feel him kicking too, and we just like to watch my belly flutter.  Nolan was setting his toy animals up on my belly today to see if his baby brother could knock them off. 

Little Miss Olivia did have her heart set on a baby sister.  She is SURROUNDED by boys with family/friends.  Her best friend is also the only girl out of 4 kiddos so she keeps saying "Ella and I can be the princesses."  I remember begging my parents to have one more baby because I was the only girl out of 5 kids!  I have to say I absolutely LOVED having brothers though.  And I know that God gave us what he thought was just the perfect fit for our family, we are thrilled! 

We got the kids blue balloons yesterday as well as little baby boy dolls.  When we picked Liv up from school we had everything set up in her booster seat.  Ever since, the kids have been carrying their new boy babies everywhere.  They both slept with them last night.  Liv keeps swaddling hers, and he's napping in her bed right now while she's at school ;) 

It still feels very surreal because I truly did not think we'd ever be able to experience this again after I had Nolan.  I am over the moon...and can only give the glory to ONE person...Thank you Jesus!  Well, maybe that isn't entirely true...my OB is AMAZING and I do believe he's had a part in this too!

*This little guy is a mover...so it was hard to get pictures with him staying still, little stinker!  If I could guess, I think he's going to look just like Nolan.  Nolan's ultrasound pictures are almost identical.  Hope he gets some of Liv's features too!

These are my 2 favorites!








 5 month belly shots(literally =) )

OK the picture of Nolan kissing the baby doll and the way his hands are cradling the back of it's head--that just melted my heart! SO SO SO happy for the Lofstedt family of boys and the one and only princess Liv!
Loves,

Hi Kelly..what a great surprise to see early pictures of your new baby boy! I love your idea of using the dolls to welcome baby brother to Olivia and Nolan. They look so happy. Congratulations to all of you from Uncle Pat and myself and Katie Paul and Julie.

Love the pictures, and how fun to have 3-D ones so you can see his actual little face! Can't wait to meet him and we are thanking God for a healthy little Lofstedt.
