It took 3 ultrasound appointments to know what this baby was going to be, not that he didn't want to show, but because of problems with paper work, insurance complications, and not having a babysitter. We finally know for sure now that....
I knew it was a boy the whole time, but I had to see it to believe it. He showed himself openly. The ultrasound tech and I talked throughout the appointment a lot. When she checked for the baby's sex, she told me it's a boy, then said look at that turtle. I thought that was so cute and funny. I think this baby has a nickname already. 
Greg and I decided to name him after an amazing man: Carl Reuben Peterson. We were thinking about naming him "Tru," but, because of an amazing experience, we changed our minds.
We originally only wanted two children. I felt that Chase and Savvy were the only ones for Greg and me. But, almost 8 months ago, I started praying really hard about whether to have another child.
My prayer was answered in Fillmore Utah at Greg's grandpa's funeral, Carl Reuben Peterson. At the funeral I remember feeling that there was another spirit waiting to join our family. At that moment, I knew we needed to have another baby and I felt I should name him after Grandpa. I think it's amazing that I felt an answer so strongly. It was even more amazing that I felt it would be a boy.
We are very excited. But we do worry that being named after such a great man will be tough on the little guy. He's going to have a lot to live up to!
