Alright, I am sorry that I have not updated the BLOG in so long, and really appreciate hearing that so many people have been checking in here to get updates. Also, I know you have to register on Google to be able to leave a comment, and I am sorry about that. I had no idea it worked like that when I set up this site. Anyway, on to more important things . . . .
Most of you know that today was our day to go to Jackson and see a prenatal specialist to check the baby's heart, lungs and major organ functions, as well as to see if there were any early signs of potential birth defects. The baby looks so great as you can see from the photo above! And for those who have trouble "seeing" ultrasound photos - the picture shows the profile of the baby with the top of the head at the left of the photo and shows the baby sucking it's thumb. How Awesome is that!?! I am here to tell you, God surrounded us all day today and His presence was more evident than I can describe here. It was definitely one of our best days.
Of course when there's good news, there seems to aways be a down side. When we got pregnant with Lucy it took me forever to paint the nursery. My laziness notwithstanding, I am colorblind and had a hard time seeing the pale pink color on the walls and in the end had to have the help of a small army to get it done. And I will be danged - this baby is going to make me spend another $50 and paint all over again. It's a Boy! (Like I didn't know that everyone was reading all of my other ranting to get to that, LOL) We are so very excited! BA may even be a little scared seeing how active he was on the ultrasound today. We both imagine chasing him around as much as the ultrasound girl was having to chase him to get his photos. Of course, her advantage is that he only had a small space in which to run from her, and she only had to chase him for half an hour.
It's now the end of a long and wonderful day and we both are gonna get some rest. Thanks to everybody for sharing in our joy. Hopefully we will announce his name here very soon.

We are so happy for you two! Of course we would be anyway-no matter what the flavor. Oh Well I will just have to change my "watched" items on E-Bay. We are thankful for the other good words from the MD too. This is a special baby for all of us. He is a miracle How about William Jackson, or William Randolph, or William Still, or Rickey Bobby
Wonderful News!!! So happy for y'all!!! How about Mickey's old name from highschool that was 7 or 8 words long? I honestly can't remember it all, but maybe you can!
If you guys ever have a little extra time when you come to Jackson for an appointment, we'd love to see y'all!
Love you all, Rob and Ann W.
Congrats to all of you! So glad to hear you had a great visit with the specialist.
Another William Michael Mickey Mickle Mantle Mallette. There you go Ann Wyndham!
Wow!! Congratulations!! I'm so happy for y'all! Babies are such sweet miracles and blessings! I adore the picture of him sucking his little thumb. You'll be so happy he does (around March or April) when he can comfort himself back to sleep. I can't wait to meet him some day, and good luck with that five-part baby name. Love you!
Hey Beckyanne! I was on Walk 222 and just got your blog from our daily Emmaus e-mail. Just wanted to stop by and tell you congratulations on finding out that you're having a little baby boy and that the sonogram pics are TOO cute of him sucking his thumb!! I really enjoyed your testimony at Emmaus and wanted to let you know that I keep you and your sweet family in my prayers. Good luck with everything!!

I am so excited that you had a good report from the doctor. I know first hand what a blessing little boys are. You are in for crazy but wonderful times!
We loved seeing you both for Big Daddy"s birthday. He enjoyed all the fun and fellowship. It was a great day. I just look at your blog and the precious picture of the baby everyday. Why not William MIcheal Mallette Jr and call him William (how original) You will pick a name and we will love it!
Sunday night after a long weekend, I am looking forward to an easy week and then vacation time. I think that the baby has my fingers.
How about "Buck" I wanted to name Beckyanne James Claude Jr and call him Buck --BucK Mallette Kinda has a nice ring to it.
I know that MIckey has been under the weather and I hope you both are felling better. I can not wait to learn the little one's name so hurry up and decide. we will love what ever you chose Just keep feeling good and take care of yourselves
Obviously I can not spell or the battery to the keyboard is going down again Maybe a little of both! So feel better and choose wisely
