The Larson crew has had a good week - the lows of the previous week's news (and subsequent tears) were slowly pushed out of our minds and hearts as we were flooded with the love and support of family and friends. And for that, we are SO grateful. We are grateful for a visit from Matt's sister and her soon to be husband; grateful for the calls from those of you expressing your love and sharing in our pain; grateful for a fun night out with friends eating Thai food and watching Woody Allen's recent flick at the Mayan Theatre; grateful for the distractions of school (and my awesome new site school/teacher) and work (Matt's upcoming trips to Salt Lake City and Singapore); grateful for dear friends coming over to eat my homemade dinner (and even saying they loved it!); grateful for new friends from afar who touched my heart in such a short amount of time... and the list goes on.
We are also learning to be grateful in this precarious situation we've found ourselves in. We trust that God is at work in all of this, and despite the unknown future, we are grateful for the little one growing and developing at this very minute. We are grateful for the lessons in patience, trust, love, and grace that we continue to be learning through all of this. And though we did not love hearing some of the news at this week's appointment with the high risk doctor, we were SO grateful to find out the sex of our little peanut early!
We're having a boy!!
True to their awesomeness, our friends here in Denver met up with us that night (extremely last minute) to celebrate the big reveal with drinks at Beatrice & Woodsley. It was a really wonderful time to share our news and celebrate our new SON. I know he will be so loved. No question.
We have plenty of time to talk about this little baby boy, but for now, I can already say that Matt is busy daydreaming about adding one more Twins fan to the world while simultaneously scheduling his future piano lessons :) So much fun to daydream!
And here are some of the not so clear ultrasound pics of the little guy - we go back in four weeks for more, and hopefully we can get him to be a little more cooperative next time :)
WE love you, too, little Mr Larson!!! Couldn't be more excited! Love you all!
ReplyDeleteGlad he was showing off for you :) I will say one thing for having a high risk pregnancy, you get a lot of ultrasounds! Still, I know you wish it was otherwise. He looks great, though!
ReplyDeleteAli, your words (and pictures) gave me the chills. We love you guys so much and your little man is going to have AWESOME parents! Take care!!!
