Kohen Lee, 7lbs 6oz, 21 1/2 inches.

It's a boy!

Kohen Lee Pettis arrived at 4:33 p.m. on October 22, 2009. I was shocked! I truly thought I was having a girl. On Wednesday night I was giving my predictions to Shawn and Misti and I said Girl, 7.8 , 19-20 inches long. So much for mother's intuition. I wasn't the only one surprised. Most everyone in the room thought Girl! when they saw all the hair he had. Both Kenson and Karter were almost bald when they were born, so surely this hairy beastie had to be a girl. Well, surely not. God decided to save the Pettis's a lot of money (I've been window shopping online ever since I started feeling girly). I'm not disappointed in the least, I thought I might be, but look at him! He is gorgeous! He is precious! He is the bomb diggity! I think he looks just like his daddy did when he was born. The boys think he's the greatest. I'm surprised how interested they are in the baby. They act like they really enjoy holding him and so far are trying to be helpful. Kenson said last night "My baby brother is the sweetest gift." Kohen was pretty fussy his first night and kept Shawn and I awake ALL NIGHT long, but he has been sleeping and eating great since then.

Kohen Lee or Klaire Ashton?

As most of you know we decided to be surprised with the sex of our third and final child. OK, I decided that we would be surprised, Shawn really had no choice. (I know. I really need to work on the whole submissive thing. Pray for me.) We have 17 days left until due date October 23rd. It really is exciting not knowing if the baby (fondly referred to as Pat) is a boy or a girl. We will post pictures asap whenever he or she arrives.
