Now We are Six: Jellybean has Something to Say

Jellybean has Something to Say

Hi!

and.....

I'm a BOY!

Our suspicions were confirmed. Eli is going to have a little brother, and we couldn't be happier!! Jellybean is healthy and right on track...which also makes us happy.

Now....we have to start our list of names...though if you remember, Eli was "Baby Boy Carson" during his first 24 hours of life. We will likely wait to meet this little guy before naming him as well. Names are hard. They are so permanent, and we want it to be perfect, timeless, fitting, yet slightly unique at the same time. And so far we have a whopping ZERO on the list. Thankfully we have some time to get it going.
