A BOY!

I haven't felt like posting, or maybe I just haven't had much time. There is a lot happening for us right now. We found out a few weeks ago that we're having a boy. Sorry no ultrasound pictures, the midwife has an ultrasound machine, but it isn't the same as having an ultrasound technician. They don't do the measuring and diagnosis part, they just tell you based on their experience if it looks like a boy or a girl baby. So they don't give pictures. I thought it would be funny to post one of the ultrasound pictures of Selah since you wouldn't know the difference, but then I would have to find them. :)

We're very excited to be having a boy. We are planning to name him Hyrum Asael after Joseph Smith's brother and grandfather. We love the name, once we came up with it the other names we liked just didn't sound as good to us. Both men (Hyrum Smith and Asael Smith) were remarkable in so many ways. Hyrum is such a great example of loyalty and the name actually means "my brother is exalted." Asael means "created by God." Pretty cool.
