It's a...





We had the big reveal tonight with my parents, Shealy, and Clayton! I made them wait to come over until after dinner and I had pink and blue cupcakes ready for dessert. They had to pick pink or blue for girl or boy, and then Ford walked into the room carrying the 'right' color.


It's blue! That's right, we're having another precious little boy! We were VERY surprised...when the ultrasound technician said, "It's a boy!," Joseph just started laughing hysterically, I got the giggles (while laying exposed on the ultrasound table), even Sheilla started laughing! He looks perfect - healthy as can be! His name will be Luke Armistead Martin, and we'll call him Luke.
Armistead is Joseph's paternal grandmother's maiden name, and we just really like the name Luke. So praise the sweet Lord for another healthy boy! We are THRILLED - Joseph and I both confessed to each other last night that we wanted it to be a boy but thought it was a girl. I just think it will be so fun to have two little boys so close together in age. It's like a built-in best friend! And they have the best daddy ever to look up to and learn from. I couldn't be happier! And now I don't have to learn how to sew:)

Shealy said...

We are so excited!! I cannot wait to meet little Luke!! Even though I was mad that you made us wait, it was well worth the surprise! I love y'all!

Amber said...

Yeah Sarah! I think it is really fun that the boys will be close! I love the name too! I am glad the ultrasound went well. Such a cute way of sharing with your family. Congratulations!

CONGRATS!!!! Sarah, that is wonderful news!! What a perfect best friend for Ford. I am so glad every thing went well at the ultrasound. Praise Jesus!!!

Granny said...

You two have made Granny and Crawdaddy so happy! Healthy babies, keep them coming!! Think how much fun we all are going to have "down by the creek bank". Promise that I will work on Crawdaddy to get over the "LUKE, I AM YOUR GRANDFATHER". I would not give a million dollars for your presentation of the surprise. Ford thought it was all about him and that is what made it so-o-o perfect. Keep up the good work.

YAY! I am soo excited for you! It seems like yesterday that I was waiting with anticipation to find out if Ford was a ford or an Ella Wade(right?!). Time has flown. You are too creative!

The Reeds said...

CONGRATS again! I think I said it 10 times on the phone yesterday, but I must "blog" it too! The cupcake idea is so fun! You and Joseph are awesome parents and incredible people, and I'm so happy for you both! Love you!

So happy for you! You will love having two little boys:) I know Ford will be a great big brother!

I guess I am not a good guesser! I was definitely thinking pink, but I love that Ford has a partner in crime on the way! So fun! Congrats to the Martin Family. We are SOOO happy for you and praises to the Lord for ten fingers and ten toes!!!
