I am so excited to share with you exactly who will be joining our little family in 2011!
My oldest predicted a girl.
My mom and sister demanded another girl. They might have a slight fascination with little Audrey.
My husband already told the kids its a girl and helped them practice saying "sister".
Were they right?
Nope!
Its a boy! At least, the ultrasound girl thought so... but she said, "I have been doing this for 11 years, and I am pretty sure I recognize one of those when I see one." She couldn't get a picture or a clear shot, but I believe her!
Aw! Congrats Amanda. That is so exciting!

A wonderful bundle of boy, to bring your family a lot of joy. :) Can't wait to 'meet' him on your blog when the day comes. Congrats! Do you have a name in mind yet?
Posted by: Renee | January 07, 2011 at 08:05 AM
Yay!!! Congratulations, my dear! Can't wait to "meet" him! ♥

Little Audrey is going to love being a big sister to this newest brother! Congratulations Amanda.
Posted by: Paula | January 07, 2011 at 08:07 AM
No names in mind yet... any suggestions??? :)
Posted by: Amanda Rettke | January 07, 2011 at 08:07 AM
Let's just pray for a healthy baby and mommy! Babies are blessings to us all!

After seeing a lot of girls when my daughter was born, I have been hearing about a lot of boys lately. That doesn't bode well for M's request for a sister, but she'll have to deal with it, I did.
Congrats!

Aww congratulations Amanda!
Posted by: Sally | January 07, 2011 at 08:22 AM
Wonderful news! Congratulations Amanda! wow, and names? well there are so many-picking is half the fun! Good luck with that, keep us posted on your top choices. At the school I work at we have a sibling group named----Tuseday, Cricket and Ranger!

I have a baby boy and he is wonderful. I'm sure Daddy must be thrilled! Look forward to reading more developments!
Posted by: Alexandria | January 07, 2011 at 08:24 AM
I love baby boys. :)
Posted by: Katie R. | January 07, 2011 at 08:29 AM
Beautiful! So that makes 3 boys for you then? A trifecta!
Posted by: Lisa | January 07, 2011 at 08:35 AM
Awwww....congratulations!! Baby boys are simply so precious! I'm so excited for you!!!
The boy name we chose when we were expecting Gracie was Caleb. ;-)
Posted by: Thehfive | January 07, 2011 at 08:38 AM
Oh boy! So exciting! If you'd like, you can use our "top" baby boy name: Luke Skywalker! I'd be willing to sacrifice for you, dear friend, and let that name be "taken" so we'd have to find another name! (FYI, don't let your husband give naming rights to 5 year olds!). Congratulations!!!
Posted by: Londa | January 07, 2011 at 09:15 AM
Woohoo! I love little boys. Maybe you'll let me come and play with him.
Posted by: Shaina | January 07, 2011 at 09:16 AM
Congratulations! There is nothing like little boys!
Posted by: cara @ the boys made me do it | January 07, 2011 at 09:16 AM
Oh, yay! Audrey is going to be so well protected. It'll make Daddy's job a little easier. She's going to need some watching over. Are the boys excited? I can't wait to meet your little one.
Posted by: Bethany | January 07, 2011 at 09:30 AM

Yay Congratulations!
Posted by: Liz | January 07, 2011 at 04:47 PM
Congrats! As a word of warning, when ultrasound technicians are wrong, it's almost always saying it's a boy when it's really a girl (sometimes the umbilical cord can be deceiving).
It's unlikely she's wrong though!
Posted by: April | January 07, 2011 at 04:59 PM
Congratulations! I love little boys!!
Posted by: Lorie | January 07, 2011 at 05:02 PM

Posted by: Kaitlin | January 07, 2011 at 05:02 PM
Congratulations!! I had to come over and take a peek! My guess was wrong but that's alright. My Twin Boys are super special...They made me "Mommy" first! Enjoy every crazy moment!
Posted by: Tiera | January 07, 2011 at 05:05 PM
Congrats!! Boy babies are more cuddly than their female counterparts for some reason. I posted these names on your other site already but just in case you missed them these are some of my favorites Gabriel Ryan, Samuel Carter, Ethan Charles, & Charles Ryan :O) My 2 boys names are Harrison Thomas & Cooper Henry
Posted by: colleen | January 07, 2011 at 05:19 PM
I forgot to ask how you are feeling? I hope your not too exhausted and feeling well. Remember to take naps when possible. :O)
Posted by: colleen | January 07, 2011 at 05:27 PM
Wonderful! We have a Simon (after my Grandpa) and a Max. We were also thinking about Chase (because my Dad is Charles) or Benjamin. You can't go wrong with a Biblical name - lots of options there!
Posted by: Mela Kamin | January 07, 2011 at 05:35 PM
congrats again!! I too hope you are doing well. :)
Posted by: brenda | January 07, 2011 at 05:36 PM

Congratulations on another boy! It seems we're in the same boat - only flipped! LOL. Isn't it HARD coming up with a name after you've already used two of them?? Ufda.
Posted by: Lindsay | January 07, 2011 at 11:51 PM

Congrats! I'm excited for you and your family!
Do you have any names picked out?
Posted by: Jessica | January 09, 2011 at 10:13 AM
name suggestion: Jaxson. I love the peeking cookies!
Posted by: Amanda | January 09, 2011 at 08:05 PM
Beautiful news!! I like the name Marston, very different. It is Hugh Hefner's son's name as well as his being his own middle name. I know weird, but it is catchy. Well, Beth wouldn't work now would it?
Posted by: BethieofVA | January 10, 2011 at 07:49 PM
Oh Amanda, I am so late, but congratulations on another boy!! :) I only have two girls and I really think God blessed me with girls....not sure I know what to do with boys! But I think you must be a natural (along with your hubby) for boys. We cannot wait to see (a picture) of him when he announces his arrival.
Posted by: Mary C. | January 10, 2011 at 09:07 PM
Congratulations!
Posted by: Judith Norman | January 10, 2011 at 10:23 PM

Oh wow - Congrats Amanda!! Are you so excited? Woo-hoo!
Posted by: Kristen | January 11, 2011 at 08:47 AM
CongratS! We are partial to the name Travis...
Posted by: Diana | January 11, 2011 at 05:45 PM
Congratulations, Amanda! Looking forward to seeing your little man! :)
Posted by: The Lumberjack's Wife | January 12, 2011 at 08:22 AM
i've been painting the walls of our new house this past week and that gives me lots of time to think...i thought of YOU! i think you left me a comment recently, right? that got me realizing that it's been forever since i've been blog reading. just too busy with new move and job and house. i was wondering if you had the baby yet. not yet, i see! you are a sweety and i hope all is well. let me know if you are ever in the Sacramento, CA area! i saw the names above suggested that i love: luke (my brother's name), noah, liam. those are sweet yet cool names, i think.
