The newest member

Most of you know already but we had an ultrasound on Monday.  I was so beyond ready to know what this baby was and it was so exciting to be able to take the boys to find out.  We invited Charles' mom to go along with us and we all had a great time.  Baby #3 is definitely a boy and we couldn't be more happy.  I have had a few people ask me if I was o.k. with the baby being a boy .... of course I'm o.k. with it.  I'm more than o.k with it!  So far, he looks healthy and right on track.  I feel honored that the Lord would choose me to be a mom of 3 precious boys.  And as I thought about it, who am I to tell God what I need as a mom?  Who am I to tell God was is "best" for me?  I feel like being a mom to boys just fits.  And I'm so excited that this little man will fit right into the family, with two big brothers who are so excited about him!!  I loved seeing him on ultrasound this past Monday and I can't wait to see him again when we have our big anatomy scan at the doctors office on May 6th!

We've decided on a name for this little guy....
meet LUKE THOMAS SMOAK!!  

He will go by Luke.  It's so nice to have a name for our little man and to be able to call him by name with the boys.  They now know there is a baby brother in my tummy and his name is baby Luke.  I can't wait to see what he looks like and if he will look like Chase or Jacob.  From what I can tell so far he seems to have Chase's shaped face so I wonder if he'll be little like Chase.  Only time will tell! :)  We are just so thankful to have a healthy baby growing inside and can't wait to see him again in a few weeks!

I will leave you with this....
precious feet ... there is nothing sweeter!!

"Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. "
~ Psalm 127:3

  3. Maybe with him being name Luke it will keep people from calling Lucas that:). Congrats on boy number three!!
