boy oh boy oh boy.

our sister in law Tashina found out she is going to have a boy today. hurrah!

she swore the whole time that it was going to be a girl, because she and her hubbie Todd just felt like it would be.

i secretly prayed (not literally obviously, that would be a little out of control) that it wouldn't be, because i would be sad if she had a cute girl to dress up and i did not, when she would not take full advantage of the giant flowers and headbands and ridiculously poofy dresses as i would.

yes, i am that much of a loser i will admit it. i feel guilty, but at the same time so so pleased.

but then, magically, the chromosomes listened to me! and that makes me so happy!

so, the Lowry family will have had three baby boys within 8 months of each other by the time june rolls around. haha.

i'm not quite sure why we all had to have boys, apparently the lowry tradition of boys first carries strong, but our next children are all going to be competition for the first girl in the family.

but anyways, congrats to Tashina who is now very excited to be pregnant!



Zak update of the week: he is 15 inches long, and 3 lbs. and has a 9 out of 10 chance of surviving if he was born now. Let's get him outta here!! but he also has normal-ish skin and fully functioning lungs. He also loves captain crunch, takes after his favorite mommy, he does.
