Baby Update

For those of you who aren't aware, Andy and I made a decision that was a little out of the norm for us. We decided to find out the gender of our baby. I know! You're shocked, right? Andy and I have loved NOT knowing the gender of our first two children and being surprised on delivery day. And we love it! The surprise, the shock, the adrenaline rush when they say, It's a girl!


However, at our ultrasound appointment (tho we told the ultrasound tech we didn't want to know), about halfway thru I said to Andy, Are you sure you don't want to find out right now? He said he didn't care if I didn't (despite 2 or 3 discussions about it ahead of time) and we decided that if this was possibly going to be our last child, then we wanted to know what if felt like to discover the gender of our child BOTH ways: in the delivery room and during the ultrasound. So we found out that....it's a boy! Woo hoo! We were both shocked and VERY excited. Georgia is mostly excited, but keeps telling me she wants a girl. :)


Now that I know both ways, I have decided that if for some reason we do have a fourth child, we will wait until delivery to find out if it's a boy or girl. It's waaaaay more fun. It was fun at the ultrasound, but just not AS fun. There is so much more excitement in the delivery room when you discover gender AND you get to have your baby at the same time. Yes, I will have planning time, but that doesn't really mean anything to me. I can do things to the nursery just as easily after the baby is born as before.


All in all, I just can't believe we're having a boy....oh boy. :)

Beautiful

I know it's, like, way late for this, but I have some Easter pics of the girls I just can't resist posting.  They look so sweet and fresh in their Easter dresses and sometimes I just stare and them (no matter what they're wearing) and think, my kids are so beautiful.  Do other people think my kids are this beautiful, because MAN, my kids are so beautiful!

I Lied

Ok...so I lied.  I didn't update those posts, did I?  In fact, I'm not even sure I remember what they were.  But the blogging bug has been creeping up on me in the last few days and last night my friend said, "Yeah, Lacey, you haven't posted since February."  What?  I had to check for myself because I didn't believe her!  So let's try this thing again.  Let's see if I can find the long lost blog love.

So You've Noticed?

I know, I know...I haven't been blogging much recently. It's from a disease, or addiction rather, called Monk. A TV show that my in-laws turned me on to. Those of you who've seen it, know my pain. It's so good. My spare minutes have turned into Monk-watching opportunities.

But I've been missing my blog and so we'll have lots of new posts coming up. I promise.
