What Will It Be?!?!?!?

Well, today was the big, big day. It is one of my favorite days during pregnancy because I can finally stop calling my baby, "baby" or "it" and actually refer to the baby as a boy or a girl!!! And for some reason, once i know, the baby seems so much more real. So what do you think? Will I be spending an extra 20 seconds or 20 minutes doing hair on Sunday mornings? Will i be spending $100 or $200 every time it comes to clothing a child for the new season??

Well, i better wake up a few minutes earlier and myk better get a little raise because we are going to have................................................






A Little GIRL!!!!!



Whoo hoo!! and we are actually really lucky with the clothes situation because she will be born in December just like Elle, so we shouldn't have to buy too many new clothes (just really cute ones!!) In fact, according to the ultrasound today, the due date is December 25!!! But i am pretty positive we will be having her before then!!!!

here's a little recap of how each child responded

Elle: (jumping up and down in elle like fashion, and shouting in her elle bell voice that is very distinct) "I have a baby sister. yeah, baby sister. Sister, sister sister."

Talmage: (right in the ultrasound room) "Ahh, I thought it was going to be a boy!! Why isn't it a boy, i wanted it to be a boy!

We had a little chat as we were walking out of the doctors office and he asked
"Why isn't it a boy mom?"
Me: "Well, Heavenly Father knows that we need to have a girl next in our home and so he sent a girl. And it will be great to be the older brother of 2 girls. You get to watch out for them and protect them!"

Talmage: (thinking) "Ok, but Jesus will send us a brother next time, right?"

Me: "Hopefully"
