BIG DAY

I was so anxious to figure out if we were having a boy or a girl, but even more anxious to check the health of this baby. Fortunately, the doctors saw nothing to be concerned about and we feel like we had the sonograms (yes, more than one) of the century. we saw this kid and the heart from every angle. we know that the LORD holds all of our children in His hands and we are thankful that he has allowed this one to be healthy to this point in its little life! Here are some pictures of the day with short descriptions!

you must know that the doctor had the probe on my belly for ONE SECOND, snatched it away, and said, "oh, do you want to know what you're having?" with a response like that i was certain of what we were having. we laughed and she put the probe back. HE was in position and NOT SHY!

Here is a much more flattering picture of our newest little guy... he's flexing his muscles this time! ;)our appointment wasn't over until five and then we had to drive back to tyler, pick up the kids, and share the good news. we decided to order a cookie cake and here are their responses...


"ohhhh...."

then caleb threw himself back and said, "It IS a boy!"

allie's response was, "uuugghhh, THREE boys???"

she quickly warmed up to the idea when i told her that it just meant that her and mommy would be SUPER close and do EVERYTHING together. she smiled and said, "oh, yeah!" (and, yes, allie has a black eye given to her by Riley... poor thing).


after eating cookie cake at the mall at 8:30 at night we let them each have a ride... lance thought the blue car was poetic!
I guess the only thing that remains to be said is the "little guy's" name!

Griffin Allan Sisco
means
strong in faith and noble.

(and, yes, we anticipate that he will be made fun of for his initials... fun times in jr. high)

  1. Mandy I love the name! Gabe's initials are GAS also. Most of my family began calling him Gasser before he was born and still call him that.

  4. Mandy!!!!!! I was just telling the kids about how you found out yesterday that the baby in your tummy is boy. Landry wanted to know what he will be named, so I figured I would check your blog to see if you had made the big announcement yet. Griffin!!!! I love it! Can't wait to meet him! Give Allie, Caleb and Riley love from Hank, Landry and Tucker! Love y'all and are SOOO happy for y'all!

  9. I LOVE the name you've picked out for the new addition. How wonderful!! And really, no matter what kind of name you have, some kid, somewhere, is going to figure out how to make fun of you for it. Jamie=Jaime=Hiney ;o)
