And Baby #3 is a ...... !!!!!

Yesterday we took a few photos to announce whether baby kauffman #3 is a boy or girl..... 

And just to have a few shots of Drew & Isaiah together before the third joins them... 


So,  without further ado, I'll let the photo below speak for itself :)

Yup, we are going to have THREE BOYS!!!! I can hardly believe it!!! At my ultrasound yesterday when we saw very clearly that baby boy was, indeed, a baby boy, I just started laughing hysterically. It was quite the rush having that become our reality. I'm pretty sure I said "No way!" like five times!! I feel like we are building a dynasty over here... haha.

Back to the photos for a few...


I love the next few photos and Drew and Isaiah's expressions. 

That's them "cheesing" up above... Guess the heat made smiling not all that fun, haha. 



Especially love the one above.... they look like a crew of little mobsters. ;)

(I believe I said something in my last post about "If you are a boy, just come on it and join the crazy")





We had lots of fun pretend fishing with sticks off of this little foot bridge. 

(Love the natural vignette effect the photo of Isaiah above has)





 Oh the sweetness... love when they hold hands :) 

Picturing a third little boy sitting there between them just blows me away. Will he have blonde hair and blue eyes? Will he have brown hair and brown eyes? Will he be some combination that we haven't had yet? Will there be room for three boys racing down our hall way together? (I think yes :) 


I think families of all boys or all girls are so cool. There is some bond between them, some recognition or identity that comes along with there being three of the same gender. I can just hear people saying "those Kauffman boys...." I am so excited to see how this baby takes being a Kauffman boy and gives it his own little spin. AHHH!!! I LOVE MY BABY BOYS SO MUCH!! 

(Love how it looks like Isaiah is really using his stick like a fishing pole in the one below... haha.) 

Can I just say, it feels so good to KNOW. I love being able to call him "HIM",  I still feel like he is such a peaceful baby but wow does he have some unexpected shock factor to him too!!! He is measuring about a week, to a week and a half ahead on some measurements, they all averaged out to say that he's measuring 19 weeks instead of 18... No real surprise there since my babies have all been big boys so far. Hopefully he'll come a week early like Isaiah did!! 
Next week I have my next checkup with my OB doctor. At 14 weeks I weighed a pound less than my starting weight (I lost almost 10 lbs the first few months) but I am definitely showing now and it will be interesting to find out my weight at 20 weeks!! 
I can honestly say that now, being on the other side of my ultrasound, I think I did expect that this one was going to be a girl, because I still feel in shock that I'm going to have THREE boys!! I am so excited though, and so happy to know a little bit more about who this is inside of me :) 
Hard to believe 48 hrs ago I didn't know he was a boy... It's already feeling to natural and exciting to me :)

Thanks for coming along for the ride!!! :)

  1. Congratulations, Jessi! You are going to be an awesome mom of boys, and have so much fun along the way! I know I always thought that was going to be my fate too, and I loved the idea. My husband is one of 4 boys, and you are right, they do have a special bond. Enjoy!
