Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh....BOY!

If you haven't heard, we have recently found out that we're expecting our third BOY! We unexpectedly found out a little earlier than normal during a level II sonogram. I remember finding out at 13 weeks with Reid...I guess with boys it's just easier to tell! Either that, or I just have some really proud boys! ;) If I were to be honest for just a moment, I did have a tiny bit of hope that this might be a girl. I think the main reason for that is because we have decided that this will be our last biological child (adoption has always been a thought for us). But, it only took a few seconds after finding out for me to get over that and be thrilled about another little boy. To say I was diasappointed is FAR from the truth! I am a little amazed at how some people react to the thought of all boys...like they feel a little sorry for me. As if it were my choosing in the first place. I even find myself feeling slightly guilty for not being able to provide a little girl to the grandparents. But why would I have it any different than what God has clearly designed for our family? It's obvious that Aaron and I are meant to raise little gentlemen. The world could use a few more God-fearing men and my hope and prayer is that we can contribrute 3 of them! I couldn't be more thrilled to add more snips, snails and puppy dog tails to our crew!

Boys in my House
Author: Erin Jo Kilmer
There are boys in my house - and Spiderman shoes
And 200 papers in various blues.
There's Bob (he's a builder) and Thomas the Train,
There's a fireman coat to wear in the rain.
They have cars on their shirts and frogs on their hats
There's a glove and a ball and a red plastic bat.
There's dirt on a face and a smudge on a nose;
Grass stains on knees and sand between toes.
There's bathtime at night with bodies to scrub,
And when we're all done there is dirt in the tub!
There's bandaids and bruises and curious bumps,
There's smiles and laughter and sometimes there's grumps.
There's odors most icky; there's boogers so green
There's more yucky things than I'll ever get clean.
There's piles of laundry; there's stories at night;
There's bedtime and bathtime and dinnertime fights.
There's cars and there's trains and there's books about trucks
There's Mickey and Manny and Donald the Duck.
Sometimes there are bugs, and sometimes there are frogs;
Sometimes they are lions, or dinos, or dogs.
There are cute little vests and darling neckties
Dragged right through the mud - oh what a surprise!
There's running and climbing and jumping and falling
And laughing and crying and hugging and brawling
And rolling and losing and finding and creeping
And whining and stealing and sometimes there's sleeping.
There's tantrums and time outs and extra loud noise -
There's love in my house shaped like one two THREE little boys!

These are the things that zoom around our house...

The things that I am constantly stepping on...

The things that fly past my head....

 

The things that make a little boy feel like a big boy...

 These are things I would never change about our house...and won't be able to for at least a few years! :)

And just for fun...some pics of our newest little guy at 15 weeks!
