{The Writing Is On The Wall}

Finally!

The wait is over. I had my ultrasound this morning. Kurt was able to be there for this one. He hasn't been to any of the others. I told the boys that I was going to the doctor to find out what I was having and that when they got home from school they could find out what it was by going into the spare bedroom.

For the writing is on the wall......

This baby was not shy. It was obvious he was loud and proud. There was no question.

I don't know what to tell ya, we are destined to be an all boy family. Of course it's Kurt's fault, right? After all, the male determines the sex of the baby.

I may be just a teensy bit disappointed, as this very well could be our last child and I may never know what a little Kurt and Kanani female version of us will look like. BUT we are immensely blessed to even be able to have children. We are more than thrilled to be welcoming a new little one into our household in June.

{The Cat Is Out Of The Bag}

I sent out our Christmas cards the other day. I knew they arrived when I started to get emails, texts, and phone calls.

Baby debuting June 2012.

{New Addition}

Today was the day that we told the boys that we were going be adding a new little person to our family. Isaac immediately knew his suspicions were right as he took the picture of my belly for our christmas card. All the boys were excited. They all want it to be a baby boy. I am hoping for a girl. Kurt says that we are destined for all boys, but I know that he is secretly hoping it's a girl. We will find out on January 31st.
