Ultrasound

Wednesday morning we were able to have the BIG ultrasound. We were so excited to find out if we were adding a little boy or a little girl to our family. The boys were all in agreement that they wanted a boy. Emily and I finally agreed on something, and that was that we wanted a little girl. There are several babies due in the ward around the same time, of those I knew that the Hardys had Luke, Ellis' are having a boy, and Ramseys are having a little girl.
Over 3 years ago I figured that we were finished having babies, so I gathered all my boy clothes that Jaron had grown out of, and everything Emily had outgrown, bedding, blankets, toys, and carseats, and filled my garage and invited over everyone I could think of who may have use for anything, and said "take what you can use!"
A couple weeks ago I was with Anne looking at her cute little girl clothes, so I came home and dug thru my keepsake bin and found that I had in fact a few girl clothes left. That got me thinking, "Oh, I remember when Emily wore this: It would be so fun to have another little girl."
A week or two prior to this I had a dream that we were having a boy, but I figured "I am only right about half the time, so maybe it will be a girl." I know that sounds funny, of course I would only be right 50% of the time: It is either a boy or a girl, but I really have been right. Nate and Emily I knew what they were, I was wrong about Jaron, I had convinced myself that he would be a girl.
We were going thru the ultrasound, and at first she couldn't see the gender because the baby's legs were up over the head with the feet crossed. Then later when she checked, the legs were closed tightly and tucked under the bum. We really thought that we would go thruout the pregnancy without knowing, but then the tech said "Okay, try to go to the bathroom, and the baby may move positions."
Then as soon as she put the little monitor back on my belly she said "This baby is a BOY!" "Yep, nobody could talk me out of that, he is definatly a boy!" Sean and I both smiled, and Emily said, "No, I don't want another brother, I want a sister!" We laughed, because she was tired and grumpy, and we reassured her that she will love him when he comes. "The only way I want a brother is if we name him Lucas!", she said. Needless to say it was a long ride home for her.
As the afternoon wore on she got more and more used to it. When the boys got home the first thing they said is "Is it a boy or a girl?" Sean and I had blown up blue balloons with a blue "It's a boy" sign that we put in thier room. We let them go in to get the news. We asked the kids what we should name the baby. Jaron said "Max." Nathan said Ethan. Emily said Travis-----What??? I thought you wanted Lucas! No, now she wants Travis! Girls--So emotional!!!
So we are thrilled that we are being blessed with a boy! Now, to find a name......
