It's a Boy!


We are excited to welcome a little boy to the White House! He is already so loved and will be well taken care of by his mommy and daddy. Rick is so excited to have a boy! What a fun Dad Rick will be. We had a party with our families to share the good news of a boy. We decided to blow up black balloons full of boy confetti and ultrasound pictures. They were black enough that you couldn't see through them. The idea was for everyone to have their own to pop at the same time. As soon as we started pulling the balloons out of the closet to give everyone, Carter yells "Well Rick... you kind of already ruined it..... now we know it's going to be a black baby!" Oh Carter!!! He still has some learning to do. We had ourselves a good laugh, then counted to three and popped the balloons. Surprise: it's a boy!
We don't have any name ideas, or clothes or furniture- so I have plenty to get started on.
