Big Surprise

20 Weeks of pregnancy. Halfway there. We've been waiting patiently for the ultrasound to make sure all is well. What we didn't expect was the surprise we got.

We're having a boy. Baby boy number 3. Big sister hasn't taken the news too well. We were all sure it was going to be a girl. Not just because we have two boys and one girl, but because we truly felt this was a girl.

Well, big surprise when the ultrasound showed boy parts very clearly! We are happy, excited and I'm seriously counting the days. I've been horribly sick. I don't remember being this sick with any other of the kids except #1. But, I'm an old lady now, so I guess my body isn't as well prepared for all this. Oh well.

Now I get to go find all the boy stuff packed away in the garage, And try to make my only girl feel that she was so special that Heavenly Father needed her in a family of boys. I've been promising girls shopping trips and nights out in the future and how fun it will be to be just her and me. She's starting to come around, but slowly.

I made a deal with David that if it was a girl (because I was so sure it was!) that I would name her and if it was a boy, he would name him. Well, daddy is the big winner and told me he wanted to name him Ruen. I vetoed that right away, and luckily he was joking. But now we have a great name that is starting to make things real. But, that's a secret I'm going to keep for a while longer!

Can't wait for the holidays, hopefully the business and excitement will help things go by faster. I want to enjoy the holidays, but I want this "experience" of being pregnant for the fourth time to be over. Can't lie about that. I am getting excited to meet our baby BOY!
