I waited for forever to go see the doctor with this pregnancy. So when I finally did go see the doctor, I was already 16 weeks. I pretty much waddled into the appointment. I am amazed at how fast I got big. The doctor comes into the room and immediately gets a strong heartbeat. It was very cool to hear the heartbeat. Then she asks if I can go across the hall and get an ultrasound to confirm the due date. I can tell you the due date, I can tell you the hour of the due date. But, okay. I like that, not a scheduled ultrasound, but a look at my baby, I'm all for that. And then I thought about me being by myself, Evan at work. They usually make you wait until 20 weeks before you can tell the gender. Danielle was at 17 weeks and we could tell. I got a little nervous. I couldn't find out without Evan being there. That is like a breach of contract, or something like that, right? A betrayal. But, I was only 16 weeks and definitely too early to find out. So, the tech is measuring, getting different angles, etc. And right there on the screen . . . oh no! I asked the tech if it was too early to know what you are having. She told me it was NOT too early. And then I said, "That's not a girl, is it?" Take a look at the first picture and you will see what I saw. That's no little girl! I really figured I was having another girl. I love girls. Boys are so rowdy and tough and dangerous and gross and smelly and don't wear bows and names are tough and you have to cut their hair monthly and they are harder to potty train and they pee outside and I'm not one of them so I don't know ANYTHING about boys. And I am about to have THREE!
Now how do I break the news to Evan that we are having a boy and I KNOW that we are having a boy and I knew before he knew? I called him after the appointment, not sure if I should even reveal that I know. But, I can't hide anything. So, I started by apologizing, "I had to have the ultrasound to get a due date and there it was. I accidentally found out what we were having and I am so sorry that I did it without you being there." I still had in mind to plan something cute to let him know, something around a candle light dinner and balloons and flowers and presents and . . . And on the other end of the phone I hear this whooping and hollering, "I'M HAVING ANOTHER BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I think Evan was excited.
How did he know it was a boy? I hadn't told him that part yet.

Haha, that's an awesome way to find out! 3 girls and 3 boys, how adorable.
Having only one girl and a plethora of boys, I don't mind the lack of drama. Just a little wrestling, and most of the time you don't even know about it. Congratulations! Those boys are going to have fun together.
You are soooo cute! Congratulations! I love reading your blog, it always brightens my day, no matter the issue you blog of. Thanks for the temple/reading schedule, that is fantastic!

hahahaha! That is so great. I don't know what I love more- the good news or Evan's ability to read your mind. Ehh... definitely the nephew! Congrats you guys!!!
Oh, too funny!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. He'll fit right in with your other boys, and I'm sure the girls will love him as well.
When is your due date?
Congrats. 3 girls 3 boys how fun!
Why was I thinking you just had one? Well, congratulations on another and even though I know (really I do) how destructive little boys can be, I think they are so much fun. Good luck with the pregnancy!
