a big day of announcements!

Jeff and I had our 20 week ultrasound today and confirmed that we are having a baby boy! Although I dreamed we had a boy, I was convinced by conversations with friends and strangers that we were having a girl based on the baby’s heart beat and the way my belly was growing…What a surprise!

It’s truly an amazing experience to see the baby and I grow week-to-week and all the development that’s been underway. Today Baby J weighed in at 14 oz and was 10 inches long with a heart beat of 144 bpm. We also were able to confirm that he has 10 fingers and 10 toes and a head circumference within the 54th percentile…so no “judge dome” yet :)

Jeff and I are pretty convinced that he looks forward to meeting Gido, as my dad was there to see him on camera and they were both smiling at each other the entire time!

As you can imagine, Jeff and I can’t wait to meet our little banana and look forward to another new addition to our family…Lizzy Leahy, soon to be Lizzy Howayeck and Aunt Lizzy!

Congratulations Eli and Lizzy! We love you and can’t wait to celebrate!!
