And the score is tied!

Yesterday was one of those "mommy moments" that you want to hold in your heart forever. We took our three children with us to my ultrasound to "see" the baby. I had prepared them by showing them pictures of their own ultrasounds, letting them know they wouldn't be seeing what looked much like a baby in their eyes. We practiced looking at old ultrasounds and trying to decipher if it was fingers, toes, arms or legs that we were looking at. They were so excited! Especially my son, because he was going to get to miss school for an hour. (Little perks.)

We headed off as a family to the doctor, and you could tell the kids were excited, which added to mom's excitement. Nicholas so badly wanted it to be a boy, but he was cute to say, "I'll love the baby if it's a girl."

After doing the routine check-up stuff, I called my family back into the ultrasound room and the fun started. My husband knew immediately what we were having, without the doctor even stopping on...um, certain parts. The docotor was still trying to "find" the baby, and my husband said, "Well, I can tell you what we're having right now." (I think my husband was a little anxious to find out too. ha ha) The kids perked up and Kyle said, "It's a boy." The rest of us, mom included, all said together, "It's a boy?!" And then it was confirmed. It was indeed a boy. Our son was so excited. He kept asking, "So, it's a boy? I'm going to have a brother? Are you sure?" I think he thought it was too good to be true. My little girl was smiles from ear to ear. She said, "Mommy! I get to have a little sister AND a little brother!" I was in heaven, and just smiled and smiled as my kids would say things like, "There's his face! I see a foot. That's his backbone! Look, he's waving to us!" I was very impressed with how well they could make out the baby. It was pure happiness to watch and listen to. What a miracle babies are! It's an absolute miracle!

So, yep! The score is tied in our family. 3 girls to 3 boys! How fun! We are so excited for our little man to join the family. We are due August 15th. Fun, fun!
