It was a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a surprise! We couldnt be happier.

We now have our girl and boy, we are very blessed.

~~~~~~~~~**************About Me!!****************~~~~~~~~~

My name is Melanie Cristina, recently changed to "Matyas." My husband, Sean and I are expecting our 2nd child in August. We have a beautiful 6 year old daughter together and we couldn't be happier to expand our family to four now! :) Sean and I have been together now going on 8 years. Yes, we did have a daughter before we were married but we stuck thru it with each other and look where we are now. I believe that we have grown and developed an even more loving relationship than we would have if we hurried up and got married before our first was born. I have seen too many couples do that and end up with a divorce. I am happy our life is what it is and we are thrilled to be adding another life to it. We are not going to find out what the baby is- we are going to leave it as a surprise. As long as its healthy thats all we pray for.
