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!

Note to Sophie: I am the oldest of seven. Five brothers in a row, and then when I was 16 my sister was born. And at that point she was an imposition. After years of having my own room (all the boys had to share) guess where she landed? No more radio playing late at night, no more all-night studying in my room, and guess who was the one who got to wake up with her? Yup--me. I left home when she was two and was nothing more than a picture on the wall to her until lots, lots later in our lives. So, Sophie, sisters are good things, but no one will take care of you like a brother, even if he is a baby.
Congratulations, Candace!
I cried every time my mom would bring home brothers from the hospital too. But congrats and good luck! I had a girls name picked out too... and still struggling finding a boys name. Does that mean I will have all boys too?
Congratulations! That is so exciting. Best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy.
You know it's your fault for making such cute boys! And with Ty being the only son, he needs some help carrying on the Jensen name I suppose! Congrats!
P.S. my favorite boy names are Ethan and Austin.
please take Jim Craig!!! Then we wont have to use it! haha. Just tell Sophie that she'll always have her favorite aunt to come home and play with ;)
I was crossing my fingers for a girl! Although, we will all love a little boy just as much!!! Congrats! :)
I didn't know you were having #5!! Congrats! I know exactly how you feel. I feel bad that Maddie won't have a sister, but there are fun things about being the only girl. You have the cutest little boys and I am sure this one will be just as cute! Wish you guys were coming to the reunion in a couple of weeks. It has been wayyy toooo long!! Hope you are feeling OK and good luck with these next couple of months!
Ahhhh...another boy!! The comments are right on, though. You DO make cute boys! And why will Sophie need a sister when she has such a cool mom like you?? And as for you, Candice dear, just because you're having a boy doesn't mean you (that means YOU) can't still curl their hair and dress them up. Those of us who remember the days that you curled Briggs hair can attest to that. Or have seen the Korean picture of the two kids in costumes. I have no doubt that you'll continue to have fun priming your boys! And I'd go with Willis for the name. Can't beat Willis.
Congratulation! I am glad you are making the jump to number 5! (I like the name Crew)
Congratualtions! When are you due? I'm a bit behind on the news. Anyway, I'm sure you will have a blast with one more boy!
