IT's A (insert drum roll here . . . . )
 

BOY! I was supposed to have a girl, but on July 1st, had a baby boy! His name is Jonah Raymond, and he was 8 lbs, 7 oz. I have to make new annoucements since I made girl ones -- but I am super excited! I will post a picture soon!

Hugs,
Amanda

Congratulations, Amanda! I'm sure he's sweet as can be!

Amanda-
Congratulations!!!! What a surprise!!!! Best wishes to all of you!!!
Cathy

Congratulations!!! Funny how even in this day and age modern technology can still make a mistake!!! HA HA!!! So we can't wait to see the announcements!!!! I can't wait to have mine...I am not due until next Sunday though!

Oh my goodness! And this whole time he's had a girl name! :lol: How funny! I am so glad you are home and well and able to post! I have been wondering about you the past few days! :D Beautiful name, by the way! CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family!

Congratulations!!!
 

Amanda and family

Congratulations on your wonderful new addition! I hope that big sister enjoys having a little brother (they will still play with Barbies!). I love the name that you chose. Hope you are feeling well.

Michele

Congratulations, Amanda, on your new "surprise" baby - hee! Love the name, and can't wait to see pics!

All the best to you and your family!

Congratulations on your healthy baby boy. That is wonderful.

Hugs and smiles.

Congratulations! The same thing happened to me. We were expecting Lauren Nicole and ended up with Christopher Matthew. What a surprise! Hard to believe that was 6 years ago. What a cute name you picked out! Can't wait to see pictures.

Welcome to
 

Jonah! I'm glad you opted to change the name. A boy named Sue is one thing ... Take a big sniff of that lovely baby smell for me. What a wonderful surprise. Do you have to repaint the nursery?

Congratulations! I love the name Jonah. Wish I'd thought of it for one of mine.

Carolyn

A sweet baby boy - congratulations, Amanda!!

CONGRATS on the birth of your "surprise" baby boy!! I am sure you are thrilled! Hope you are feeling good!

Congratulations...funny how they don't always see that vital equipment on an ultrasound, LOL!

My last one I assumed would be a girl, since we had already had two girls. Towards the end of the pregnancy, I suspected he was a boy...it was so different being pregnant with him than with the girls. He had habit of sitting on top of my sciatic nerve with his little head and pushing! Ouch!

I remember in the hospital how different it was having a boy. When my girls were hungry, they cried. Billy grunted just like Tim Allen on Home Improvement!

Enjoy that baby...they do grow up awful fast!

Oh, Congratulations Amanda!
What a wonderful surprise!!

Congratulations. I also had a boy on July 1st...but five years ago. Don't forget to change your signature. No more Claire! Enjoy him!

It's a Boy!
 

Well we love surprises around here! Congratulations, Amanda. Enjoy your precious baby son! Lana

Pictures! Pictures!

CONGRATULATIONS! Boys are so much fun! I have a boy and a girl and just marvel in how different they can be but still be so much alike. Mmmmm new baby smells. :D

Congratulations Amanda! :D

Blessing to you, Baby Jonah and your whole family! Amy

Congratulations, Amanda!
Suzanne

So happy for you and your family, Amanda!
Be ready for "Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails!"

Congrats Amanda! Little boys are so fun, and I love the name Jonah. We're a "J" family here... Julie Ann, Justin, Jordan... Great news!

Yyyyyaaaaaayyyy Amanda! Congratulations to you and your family, I hope he sleeps well for you, too! We'd love to see a picture posted, too :D

Congratulations, Amanda!

Congratulations!! Although I'm sure you were surprised it's a lovely one!!

Congratulations! I had wondered where you had gotten to.

Reminds me that the doctors SWORE I was having a boy (even pointed out the boy parts!) and when the baby came out he was a SHE!!!! I had a lot of exchanging to do, but boy was I excited!!!!!!! My hubby kept telling the doctor he had the wrong husband! :D

Clap, Clap, Clap!!!! Yeah! what a wonderful surprise.

we were going to name my oldest daughter Mette Elyse.
I sometimes still call her MEEEJ. after those MEJ initials! HA

Enjoy that sweet Boy! God Bless YOU!!!

Congratulations Amanda. Boys are great. I have two. Enjoy and hope you get some sleep!!! :D

Congrats! from me too! Hope you had an easy time.

Congrats! :) I guess I'll have to re-make my RAK, too?! :) hee hee!

Well, glad that everything came out ok.... even though it was the wrong sex.... but now you have one of each! :)

Congratulations!

Congratulations Amanda!
I'm so thrilled for you. Babies are such a wonderful blessing. I hope that you are feeling well and getting those much needed naps! Little boys are so fun and I bet Daddy is so excited to have a little man in the house! Best wishes and much happiness to you and yours! Kim :D

Congratulations Amanda on your new bundle of joy!!! Of course, now I am a bit worried - I am due the end of August with a girl (my 2nd daughter). I always have said you can't be guaranteed until the actual birth. :)

CONGRATS again!!!!
