The gender countdown is among us....

We are getting ready for the beach this week and all I can think about is what we are having...we have an appt. Friday morning at 9:30. Brent and I are anxious to find out and we have been praying for a healthy baby but I have to be honest that I have also been praying for a boy. It never hurts to tell God the desires of your heart.

I have always wanted a son. As long as I can remember I always wanted to have four boys. God had different plans for me there and I cannot imagine my life without my girls. They are my gems. But there is a longing inside me to have a little man in my life.

So now I have just been thinking about the dynamics of our family...adding a little girl would be easy because we know what to expect. Although we can expect to a have a little more drama added to our lives and another wedding in the future. Adding a little boy would be a whole new adventure...boy toys, lots of noises, lots of adventure and physical energy.

I also wonder about A Bear becoming a middle child. She seems well adjusted in every situation she is in but she has become a little clingy lately. They both seem excited about the baby and are asking daily how much longer it will be before the bundle of joy arrives.

MM thinks it is a girl!
A Bear thinks it is a boy!
I think the baby is a boy!
B thinks the baby is a boy too!

We will see on Friday...

I've been wondering all week if the trip was still on...... and no Jennifer she CAN NOT go on vacation without letting us know! Well I guess you can but we all will then have no choice other than to call the cell every 5 minutes! :) When you said you always wanted 4 boys it made me tear up.... I can remember you sitting on the step of cabin 12 telling me that EXACT thing. And I remember thinking FOUR BOYS wow she's weird..... oh how God has other plans huh!! and God is good and he does have a definate plan boy or girl its been planned long before that day at cabin 12 (and boy was he laughing at what we thought we had planned for ourselves) Will be praying for you and getting nothing done ALL day until you post!!
