It's a......



GIRL!!!!!!!!

We went to have an ultrasound done back in March. The technician was very nice, but was unable to say for certain what she thought it might be. The baby was moving around so much and seemed to be sideways. So, I waited 4 more weeks, and it was worth it! It was so fun to sit and watch the baby. She is VERY active, like Emmaline was. We are all very excited!!!!

When we found out we were expecting, we shared the news right away with our kids, since they have been praying and begging, for what seems like forever, for us to have another one. They were all overjoyed. About a month or two, after telling them we were expecting the prayers started. It started with Bennett. Each night he would bless the baby to be healthy and then it turned into, "bless her". He had decided it would be a little girl, since that was what he wanted.So, he started to pray that it would be a little girl. About a month and a half ago, I still remember him running out of his room, right after he woke up, saying, " Mom, I just had the best dream. It is a girl and I saw her!" I could not convince him otherwise. Soon Emmaline and Brigham joined in and started to pray each night in their prayers that they could have a little sister. I tried to prepare them and explain to them, how even though what they wanted was a g0od thing, Heavenly Father does not always give us what we pray for. This morning before leaving, I told Bennett where I was going and what the doctor was going to do. I said, they will look inside and say, Its a boy! He looked at me and said" Mom, they are going to say it is a girl, silly, but, if it is a boy I will still like it." I know he would.

I am so grateful for my 3 wonderful kids and all the joy they bring to me. They make me laugh each day and always know just what to say to me, to make my day! I love how they are still not too old to run and give me hugs and kisses, after I have not seem for awhile. How they try to take care of me with my ever growing tummy. I do think, I have the best kids there possibly are!
