Wait... What?!?

If you have not yet heard we are expecting another baby! After everything we have been through in the last few years with trying to have a baby I had decided that we were done. Well surprise! No we aren't! Our new bundle of joy will be arriving in June. My due date is June 20.


I am 15 weeks and because I am high risk my doctor sent me to the specialist. So funny story: we are there getting our ultrasound and the technician is asking if we want to know what we are having, uh yeah! So while she is measuring the baby she is gabbing with Jess and I about our family. We tell her that Jess thinks for sure it is a boy and he has convinced me that it is a boy and she says that she thinks dad is right because she thought she caught a glimpse of boy parts. So we happily continue thinking it's a boy. Well when she finally gets around to checking the baby would not cooperate, but she finally sees and says "Oh I was totally wrong, it's a GIRL!" Wait...What!?! I wish I had taken a picture of Jesse at this point. It was the funniest thing ever! He was in absolute shock! Anyway the doctor came and talked to us and everything is looking good so far and we are still in a little bit of shock! Don't get me wrong we are thrilled with a girl but we are a boy family! So we called the kids and Garrett's response was "cool" (translation: I am excited). Hunter's response "are you kidding me!?" (not so happy in the beginning but he is quickly getting used to the idea) This is going to be a real change in our house!

Before you ask let me answer all of the typical questions that we are getting asked:

Q: Was this planned?
A: Uh ya, do you really want to know that?

Q: Wow that is going to be a BIG gap (not really a question, just an interesting statement)
A: Uh ya that part was not planned.

Q: Wow aren't you worried that you are a little bit old to be starting over?
A: I am only 31 people! Just because my kids are old doesn't mean I am too old!

Q: Wow you are getting big fast! (here again, not a question just a really interesting statement)
A: I am 5'2" people! Of course I get big fast!

Q: Are you so glad you are not having another boy?
A: NO! I love my boys and would love to have another one! All we want is a healthy baby!

Now don't get me wrong and think you can't ask questions! These are just a few of the typical questions that we have been asked and I think are funny. If you have been one of the people who asked these questions please do not take feel bad! I am not at all offended just amused at the things people say! Now the biggest problem is thinking of a name! We have NEVER discussed girl names! Lucky for us we have a while!

For New Years we stayed home and hung out with the kids. We had great food and played games.

Is that a smile I see?!?

Interestingly enough Garrett was fell asleep when it was time to clean up! He must have been so tired (or just didn't want to help clean up)


Hope your New Year brings great joy and happiness!
