It's a BOY!!!!

Well, today was the day and we found out we're adding a little testosterone to the Drew Petrey clan. We're so excited!!! The picture above is a profile shot with his head on the left and feet on the right. Everything looks great and we're still set to see him around the first part of October. We had already chosen names, so here's the announcement to all those who don't know...
Ward Stephen Petrey
Ward is Karen's (Drew's mom's) maiden name and Stephen is both Drew and Winston's middle name. Drew has said from the beginning that he would like our first son to have the middle name Stephen to carry on that tradition. We will call him Ward. We have found that Ward means "watchman" or "guard" and Stephen means "crown." He sure is a crown for our family and we can't wait to meet him! He is quite active, even more so than Evie and Mary Fran, and I always felt they were active "in the womb." Watch out world! :) We're not worried, though, as another active child will fit quite nicely into our personalities and our household.
Thank you for your continued prayers that our pregnancy would continue to go well and that little Ward would continue to develop as he's supposed to. Keep checking in for updates as well!
