The new man in our lives

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Friday. 

(Almost a week ago! I need to get better at this blogging thing! So many things I want to post about, but so much going on I can hardly find the time.)

Our sweet little baby is healthy, happy, busy, and most definitely all boy. :)

             Some sweet shots of our new little man:

Our sweet little guy.

And, to break with our previous tradition of not announcing name until birth, we decided to share our new addition's name this time. Sweet little baby Samson!

He is still measuring 5 days ahead of his due date, and has been all along. So, do hop down this bunny trail with me: His due date is December 18th. However measuring 5 days ahead would put a more accurate due date at December 13th. And both our other boys came: Blake- 1 day shy of 39 weeks, Garrett- 39 weeks on the day. So we can reasonably expect to meet sweet little Samson somewhere between the 5th or 6th of December. But owning to the fact that all my babies compete to outlast the previous one, we're widening expectation to the 5th-13th of December. This makes it a high probability for his birthday to be a sweet addition to another family "holiday" of some kind. Jim's and my 5th anniversary is the 5th, Daelynn's 4th birthday is the 8th, and our niece Lizzy's 6th birthday is the 12th! Busy, busy times in the Palmer family. :) Whenever he comes, it will be a day of blessings and celebration! 

Sweet side note: Big sister Daelynn, who was chased out of bed by thunder, keeps looking over my shoulder and seeing the ultrasound pictures and responding with phrases such as "Oh! That's my baby Samson!", "That's my baby boy Samson right there.", "We saw my baby on the screen. That's baby Samson.","Aww, is that his little foot?" She is melting my heart and making me smile. Sweet little girl. She's so excited about her third baby brother! I really don't know how I'd wrangle all these boys without her!
