It's A....

Sadly, the printer was not working at my ultra-sound, so I don't have a visual, but after careful scrutiny both Tyler and Dr. Rich have declared that this baby is most definitely not a GIRL!!!!!!! It is in fact a boy. Yes that's right. Another boy! Tyler's comment was, "I already can't handle the three we have!" Sophie said after that she felt like crying, but she was able to contain it. Briggs asked how we could tell, and after the doc pointed things out to him, he jumped back like something had bitten him and said, "Ew!" Porter and Sawyer just ran around the office pushing buttons and pulling whatever cords they could find. Good thing our doctor is a good friend as well!

As for me, I really think that I knew it all along. While friends, neighbors, and family couldn't wait to hear the news, I could. And I think it was because I knew it was a boy, but as long as there was no ultra-sound there was still a chance!

Don't get me wrong though! I'm most certainly NOT sad about having another boy! I think it will be so fun to have the four boys so close in age! And I'm absolutely smitten with the ones I've got! And boys love their Moms don't they? Plus, I've certainly got the gear! This will be a no-shopping-required baby (although I did strategically throw out the old baby swing before we made a definite decision on number 5 - or at least before Tyler knew we had! If Tyler had been sure we were having another he would have made me keep it and they make much cooler ones now)!

But I do admit to being sad that I probably won't ever get to have another girl. (Tyler wouldn't be happy about that 'probably' as this is supposed to be the last!) I just wanted one more to dress up, and go to lunch with, and to still call me and need me after they're married...And how am I going to survive four missionaries leaving one after the other? Are weddings or missions cheaper? Hmmmm. But I'm just not sure my body could handle another surgery.

Well anyway - that's the news! If anyone has a good name suggestion, let me know! We had a name for a girl!
