And the final answer is...

It's a BOY!
It's true, Ethan gets a little brother to get into trouble with! What am I going to do surrounded by all these boys? I'm really excited, it will be fun to have these kids be friends and it fits perfectly into our budget--same season as Ethan, so we're set supplies and clothes!
I'm still feeling good at 19 weeks, I never got sick, but crash for the night at about 7 or 8 if I can't squeeze in a short nap during Ethan's naptime. No longer do I hear Brian question if I'm really pregnant. Apparently the previous ultrasounds, pregnancy test, tiredness, heartburn, and constant hunger weren't enough to convince him. He wanted to see a belly or sickness (I haven't been eager to do either). Now that I can't button my jeans and am about to bust out the maternity clothes, he's fully convinced. Let the games begin! And the name picking too :)

Surprise Piano Recital

This weekend we visited Brian's parents for a surprise piano recital. Brian's mom has taught piano for 26 years and usually puts on an April recital, but because of health issues with her cancer this year, she had to forgo her beloved annual recital.
As a surprise, some of her good friends arranged for some of her piano students, past and present, to learn a recital piece to perform for Eileen in a surprise recital. It was great! The heartwarming night made us all cry. The students worked so hard and were so cute in playing their pieces. Many of the songs were by beginning students and were only a couple lines long.
As the last performance, Brian played an amazing song to pay a tribute to his mother who taught him piano and gave him a love of playing. Grandma and Grandpa wanted to hear it, so here it is. (sorry about the horrible camera work, I blame it on my crying child, being mesmerized by the piece and not paying attention, and holding the camera with my arms resting on my prego tummy while breathing in and out)

Enjoy! (it's quite amazing, I can't even figure out how to play a hymn without messing up)
