Thursday I found out I’m having ANOTHER BOY! I was… Certain. Positive. Undoubtedly. Having a girl. I have guessed my other 3. I felt different than when I was preggers with the 2 boys, the doctor thought I was having a girl and so on. I was pretty much convinced. So when, “It’s a boy,” was spoken, I was, oh, a little shocked. There were a few tears. I mean, I couldn’t help it, they just fell from my eyes. And I’m hormonal, so that should be reason enough. I couldn’t quite focus on the rest of the ultrasound. In fact, I had some major crazy thoughts. Like, “Now I’m going to have to adopt a Chinese girl.” And ….”maybe I should adopt one now and raise the babies as twins!” {pause: ok, this isn’t a random crazy thought. I’ve always thought about adopting a little girl from China. And even these past few days my hubs has been talking about the possibility later on down the road}. And then I did my best to stop my crazy thinking thoughts (4 is def enough to focus on at this point). Which then decided to roam on to…. no more pink, no more tu tu’s and no more tea parties. Sigh. I feel guilty writing these words but I’m just keeping it real. Some of you have felt this way too, yes? I thought so.

Of course . . . most of all I’m just grateful for this little life and healthy is all I could ask for. I love my 2 boys so dearly…more than I thought I could. I am just the girliest girl there is. I like pink. I don’t like sports. I’m not quite sure how the girl who likes to decorate somewhat feminine and with lots of white ends up with 3 boys BUT I take a deep breath and remember that God knows. He knows things I don’t and He must know that this is the perfect plan for me and my family. Ella (my oldest) told me she was stressed about 3 boys (she was certain she was getting a sister) and I told her not to worry because while they are playing sports and making a big old rumpus around the house we would sneak off to shop or get our nails done or just go look at the color pink wherever we may find it.

I really wanted to play the name game with Mackin Ink (I love the ones she has suggested for Mrs. French & the Lil Bee). She comes up with some killer girl names. Karey.…do you have any good boy names up you’re sleeve? Say you do.

PS – so the video is of my favorite big boy. I had no idea he could do this or that he was doing this in the house. But I love it…

So here is to boys!!!!!!
