We're having a...

We like to find out if we're having a boy or girl, before the baby arrives. It's fun to have a special gathering with family, and find out together. They get to see our expressions and excitement...we get to see theirs'. So we have the ultrasound technician write it down and put it in an envelope. Then we come up with a plan to find out the surprise.

This time, we gave the envelope to my husband's brother and his wife. I had them get five helium balloons, one to represent each of our children. So there would be at least one pink one, and three blue ones. Then there would be an additional pink or blue one depending on what this new baby is.

I had them put the balloons in a big basket. Our kids helped us open it up, and...

ANOTHER BOY! I was surprised. Most of us were :)

As hard and challenging as it is to be a mom, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I am thrilled to welcome another little boy into our family. I truly feel blessed. I am also full of gratitude for my husband, who is so good to me, and is one awesome dad!
