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!

I am so excited for ya Heath! Girls are so much fun. She is going to be adorable! I'm a bit in shock, I thought it would be a boy too. She'll have 2 big brothers to protect her and annoy her :) She'll be too scared to bring boys home...hehehe

Oh Yeah! A girl! That is soo awesome, she is going to be so loved. I'm so happy for you and your family, I agree though, it would would be weird for me to have a girl now too, I'm so use to having a "boy" house. Congrats!!!

That's so cool! I'm so excited for you guys. The age question made me laugh because I'm 34, (that's really old!!) Girls are so fun too. I love my boys too, but girls are fun.

I am excited for you. Congratulations!!! we are also an all boy family until we got Lindsey. What an added joy she is. she has added a lot to these boys. You are going to love having a girl. Gary always says every daddy need's a girl but one is enough.

Kristy said...

You know we are so HAPPY for you. We can hardly wait until she is here. I am glad to see back in the blogging world.

Heather - this is SO exciting! You will be surprised at how quickly you turn from being just a boy family but to a girl family too. I always thought of us as a "girl" family until we had Ben. We have adapted and there's plenty of boy craziness in this household too. If given the opportunity, it is definitely fun to get to experience parents boys & girls! Congrats!

Janae said...

Good luck with the name game. We have had the opposite problem...never discussed boy names...were working on it now and it is hard...good luck:)
So excited for you and your family!!

I am so excited for you. I figured it was just a matter of time now that your body is back in the swing of things. Congrats on the girl! Although... don't get too set, I have had 2 people who's ultrasounds have been wrong lately. Good luck with everything.
