sanders girls...

This is my dad, Paul Sanders.

Here are a few pictures of my dad with his siblings (Cindy, Michele, and Tabitha)....

Here are few pictures of my dad with his kids (me, Jessica, and Katie)....

Here are a few pictures of my dad with his grandchildren (Melody and Bethany)....

Notice any similarities? That's right, his entire life my dad has been surrounded by girls! All sisters- all daughters- all granddaughters! 

So what will grandchild #3 be? Will we break the cycle with a boy or is the Sanders line destined to have yet another little girl?

It's a boy!!

This is the latest ultra sound picture. I went ahead and labeled it because I know most people would look at it and have no idea what they are looking at. If you still can't tell, you will just have to trust me! 

We are super psyched to be having a little boy! I don't know if I ever talked to anyone in my family about this or not, but I found it really distressing when I was younger that I didn't have any brothers to carry on the Sanders family name. At one point I was even considering not changing my name when I got married. I don't know why, but this is something that has always really concerned me. So when Nathan and I were talking about baby names, I came up with the perfect solution; we are going to name our little boy Xander! It's my little way of passing on the family name. I am so happy that Nathan liked the name as much as I did- because a lot of the other names I liked, he vetoed. 

So it's official- we will be welcoming little Xander Lunt in June! I can hardly wait!!
