Pink or Blue?

We decided we'd wait for a surprise, this time.

I haven't regretted it for a second.  There were several occasions that Ben had to talk me out of finding out, and I'm so so thankful that he did.

I don't have any inclination of what we'll get in 4 weeks… both Ben & I go back and forth in our feelings.  At my last ultrasound, Ben said he felt like the pictures looked like a girl, but the attitude was all boy (when trying to get a face shot, baby squeezed his/her eyes shut and stuck out his/her tongue at us!!).  This mommy just has no idea.  And I'm ok with that :).

So baby, if you are a boy… we can't wait to meet you.  You have two feisty brothers who have paved the way and demonstrated time and again the joy of little boys.  A world of pillow fights and sofa forts, toy train and car wrecks, elaborate army men battles, complete dissections of peanut butter sandwiches, mud-puddle madness, and  daddy wrestling matches that mommy takes a back seat for :)  Plenty of rough edges-with room in the middle for snuggling, story time, brownie baking and hugs/kisses. We love you already.

And baby, if you are a girl… we can't wait to meet you.  We have little to no idea what to expect, so forgive us if our kisses are a little sticky and our hugs are a little rough.  We've had fun selecting a few "girl" items for you-just in case- and even Daddy has been sucked into the whirlwind of fluffy dresses and hair bows. You'll have 2 big brothers who will protect you, a Daddy who will treat you like royalty, and a Mommy who will never spend another afternoon watching Beauty and the Beast alone… ever again. :)  We're ready for a new challenge.  We love you already.
