Dearest Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I announce to you the gender of our Baby Bum!
My new little sweetheart....
IS
A
BOY!!!!!!!!
Yep, that is correct,
LANDON JEFFREY BUMFORD
will be our next family member and we could not be more thrilled!
Here are a couple photos of my not-so-shy little guy!
Yes ladies...I too thought this babe was a girl. Guess that goes to show you how wrong I was! (I was wrong on Lyla too, thinking boy the entire time)Yes if and when we have another baby I will be sure to go with the opposite of whatever I think that baby is, because that will be the correct sex!Anyway, when the ultrasound sound tech asked if we would like to know gender Chris and I rapidly answered, Yes! She proceeded to show us--but lets just say, there was not much to show! It was pretty much laid right out there for me--and I knew that photo looked nothing like Lyla's! I was in shock. I immediately started crying, tears of joy and fear and happiness. I have one brother--and we are the same age difference of Lyla and Landon which I think is pretty special. And Chris has one sister who is also that very age difference. Coincidence? I think not! So our little Princess will have her little Prince to play with in 5 short months!Now, there is so much to do! Lord knows I have nothing blue! I am off to shop for my new little bundle!God made little boys it seems,
to answer every parents dreams.
For expectations are begun
when He sends down a little son.
A son to teach the golden rule,
to watch as he goes off to school.
To marvel at his happy face,
every time he wins a race.
Playing tricks and funny pranks,
learning to say "please" and "thanks."
Yes, God brings parents endless pleasure,
when He sends a little boy to treasure.
*as for his name...
Landon has been my favorite boy name since I was in 9th grade and read, "A Walk to Remember" by Nicholas Sparks. I always vowed to use that name. I feel that it is strong and beautiful at the same time. And how incredibly lucky was I that my hubby also loved the name when I shared it prior to Lyla's birth (when I thought she was gonna be a he!) The meaning of Landon is: from the long hill
Jeffrey is the name of Chris's Godfather who passed away June of 08. We wanted our little guy to have a special part of one of our most influential people. And Lord knows, Jeff would have loved that honor!
The meaning of Jeffrey is: God's Peace.
Our Little LJ ;)
BRING ON THE BLUE!
