It's a........DRUMROLL PLEASE.......

BOY! So I just got back from the Doctor's office and needless to say we're back into blue! Scott said that just bought him 18 more years of camping, and when I picked Harry up from school he ran to me asking if it was a boy or girl. When I gave him the news, his answer honestly made my heart leap. His body was uncontrolled and he yelled...YES! Ava was literally devastated but she has already come around.

I'll be honest, I'm still processing the info. This is the honest truth. Aside from the fact that I have every bow and legwarmer ever made, as well as every shade of pink in every item of clothing and accesories...so equipt for another girl, I'm bummed that this little guy and Harry will be almost a decade apart. I feel as though with my boys I'll never be able to just throw them in a room and let them go nuts with bob the builder toys, as I do princess tea party stuff with the girls.

Other than that, words cannot express how grateful I am that the most important things are in place. The baby thus far looks completely healthy and who could ask for more than that?

But if any of you have any words of encouragement, personal stories of having a good relationship with a sibling of the same sex a decade apart from you with siblings of the opposite sex in the middle of you, I welcome any stories. WOW I sound negative. I'm thinking of not even posting this.....but I will. Because it just wouldn't be me not saying everything unholy on my mind now would it?
