I LOVE SWEATPANTS

Yep, you guessed it...we didn't want our house to be a bore so we are adding number 4!!! I'm 13 weeks pregnant and due October 6th. We are all pretty excited about adding another little chick-a-dee to the bunch.

So today I went to this sequential screening thing. It's basically a big diagnostic study to help determine if your baby may have any chromosomal disorder. I went because a couple friends have done it and really liked the cool, detailed ultrasound done. I told the doctor that if he should "see anything" to let me know. So we went through the measurements of the baby and all the important stuff and then he said "I think I see something". I started looking more closely at the ultrasound and didn't see anything so I thought maybe it was a girl then I said "Oh, I see something" and then Alex says "I see something" and the nurse said "Oh my gosh, I totally see something" and tadaa...there it was 100% BOY!!

I'm going to admit I was a little disappointed, I was kinda hoping for a girl but now I'm getting to used to the idea of another little boy. I do love my little blondies!!

My jeans and pants are definitely getting a little snug (okay...tight) so luckily there are sweatpants. I'm just dreading getting out that box of maternity clothes since I know I'm stuck in them for the next 6 months.

By the way, I'm open to boy name suggestions...

You got my list... Good luck!
He's going to be darling!

Yay but awww at the same time. Mainly for Megan. Is she disappointed?

Lori said...

She wasn't that disappointed (I was suprised actually). Zach was more sad, he said I already have a brother to share the bunkbed with. But the dr wrote on the ultrasound picture "sorry Megan, I'm a boy" It's pretty funny!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!! So happy! OMG 4 little ones! Bored you will not be. I know this sounds sooooo lame but I'm kinda jealous. Trying to convince John for us to go for #3. If it makes you feel any better, I'm still in sweats after 7 months. Enjoy your pregnancy!

Alright! It will be a mad house with all those boys running around. Start saving your money for future grocery bills. I hope Sandy's not too depressed. She's probably been knitting a girl blanket :) I was hoping you were having a girl so we could get Chase's hand me downs. Selfish me.

Congratulations! We are excited for you. As far as names go, the name Nathan William has a nice ring to it, or not, whatever y'all decide.

Congrats! I am so excited for you. There is truly never a dull moment with 4! I cried when I pulled out my box of maternity clothes. I throw them all away and went shopping!! I just couldn't bring myself to put them on again, I need something new! I guess there was just so many happy memories in them before! I always liked the name Drake!
