So for the past few months, everyone had been asking me which sex I'd prefer baby #4 to be. It's a question I REALLY don't like answering because if I were to say one thing...and get the opposite...I'd feel SO horrible!! Of course there's always that little voice in the back of my head that says what I think I'd like, but it's really all up to God and since He's the one with the plan - of course I would be happy either way!
Way back when - I had hoped my first would be a boy, so he could take care of his siblings (since I was the oldest growing up, I always felt a little tom-boyish having to stand up for my little sister, so you know...). Obviously, I ended up having Kristin first and I can't imagine not having had her as my firstborn! Then for the 2nd, I had hoped for another girl so the first two could be friends (even though I didn't really care either way because it took SO long to get pregnant the 2nd time around!) and out came crazy Katie. After that, it was time for some boys! ;) For the last two, I had prayed ahead of time (with each one) that if it was within God's will, it was the desire of my heart to have a boy. So then there was Caleb (a.k.a. Dogbone)...and now...we just found out that baby #4 is also a boy! Hooray for 2 and 2! It feels like such a nice even number. :)

Ultrasound Tech (with Filipino accent): Oh boy...
Me: It's a boy?
Tech: Yes - it is definitely a boy! Look at that - he's right at 12 0'clock! Now that's a boy to be proud of!!
Kristin: It's a pickle!!
Me (with bright red face): Hahahahahahaha!!!!
Before we found out that #4 was a boy, I was thinking 4 kids might be it for us (of course I'd still be open to whatever God has planned...I'm just sayin'). ;) But now that I know baby #4 is a boy...I'm getting a weird feeling...the feeling like I'd like another baby girl somewhere down the road! What in the heck is wrong with me?!?! I went out looking for 2 yr old clothes for Caleb...and the only thing that kept jumping out at me was one adorable baby girl outfit after another!! Sheesh! Not that it's all about clothes, but it just got me thinking. Maybe that's my problem...I need to stop thinking! ;) So that's all I have to say about that - either I'm crazy...or God has a funny way of letting me know that I'm not finished yet! ;) Hey! I know what you're thinking!!! But you're wrong! I'm not crazy!! Just tired...very very tired... ;)

It's ok, Tricia! I only ever find cute girl stuff too. Seriously! I thought I remembered thinking when we'd go shopping for the girls that there was lots of cute boy stuff. Am I wrong?!
