We had our ultrasound for Baby #3 (affectionately termed "Lemony Snicket" by Mom W when the doctor, a few weeks back, said the baby's head had grown to the size of a lemon). Because the ultrasound date was Dec. 22nd, Adam convinced me that it would be fun to seal the boy vs. girl news in an envelope and open it Christmas morning. Fun it was! It was a REALLY long wait from Dec. 22nd to Dec. 25th, but SO fun to share that moment with the entire Wride clan. And here is our news:
(Written in the card, in case it's hard to read from the picture, is: "(It's a...BOY!!! We have the pictures to prove it, but I thought I'd refrain from blasting those out on the world wide web. My son will thank me later.)Here's how we feel about the news: THRILLED!!! Emma has been calling this baby (and any baby for that matter) by feminine pronouns (she, her...), but she has quickly adjusted and now loves to talk about how much she loves our baby boy and how handsome he is. Spencer is happy he guessed right and that he gets a little brother.
Later Christmas Day, we took the news over to the other side of Leesburg for opening #2. Everyone was happy (see clapping hands, and Celeste's barely visible upraised arm).
Grammy and Papa, who opened the envelope for round 2, were especially happy. This makes grandchild #6 for the Cummings. On the Wride side, this will be baby #7.
Now, the countdown begins. If you know me well, you know that I spend the year counting down to one of two things: Christmas and Family Beach Week at Nags Head over Memorial Day. This gives me something even SOONER to look forward to. May 8th cannot come soon enough; I can't wait to meet the little man who has such persistent and powerful kicks.

Congrats on the little fella. History seems to be repeating itself, boy, girl, boy. Next up, 5 girls?
One at a time, Katy...one at a time.
What a fun way to find out what you are having!! Congratulations!! Two boys and a girl are GREAT!!
Hooray for another boy! That is a fun Christmas present.
Congratulations on your fun news! We did the same thing at my ultrasound with Rachel but then we changed our mind and never opened it. I held it up to the light after she was born and it does say she would be a girl, but it will go in her scrapbook (when I get around to doing one) unopened.
Hooray!!! What a fun way to break the news!!!!!
I bet this little guy will keep with tradition and be born in april.=] Congrats guys. We can't wait to meet the handsome little man.
Hurray! Congrats you guys! How exciting. Don't be surprised how different he looks from Spencer! I know we were surprised with our second boy!
A little brother for Spencer and Emma, how wonderful! I can't wait to meet the newest Wride!
