Our ultrasound was last week. This is what we found: ONE baby (whew), who appears to be healthy (whew). Incidentally, that baby is a BOY. I think Mike was a little stunned. After all, early on we had a nice pattern going: girl, boy, girl, boy.... So finishing off 3 for 3 in the boy department... it's kind of unexpected. Of course Grace took it hard. She cried for a few hours that afternoon - going on and on about never having a little sister. At first I felt kind of sorry for her. But not for long. As far as disappointments in life go, this is no real disappointment. She'll manage.
It actually works out nicely. Sully will have a little friend closer to his age. And there are plenty of hand-me-downs for him. Still, I'm bracing myself a little for an even rowdier household. 4 boys. Wow. I'm happy we have a couple of girls to temper the crazy...and to keep me company.
We are anxious to meet him now.

Congrats, we love boys at our house too!
yay!
When we found out that Liam was a boy Tessa refused to speak for like 48 hours. She was only 4, but still. Completely crushed. Then we told her she got to name him whatever she wanted (just until he was born). He was called Aladdin. By everyone.
oh, wait, you were here then - maybe you remember?
Congrats! Boys are great.
Cool! Another boy can't hurt anything. Especially for Sully. So are you going to call this one Sampson?
