Boy #3

I was getting my hopes up for a baby girl, I even named her (Tatum has always been my girls name) but I knew it might be too good to be true. After all, I wanted my first 2 to be boys, I couldn't be so lucky to get what I wanted for the third time in a row.
And today, at 19 weeks, we found out we are having another boy!
I'm trying to stay positive.
* My boys wanted a brother.
* It will save me tons of money on toys and clothes.
* Boys are easier than girls, and less whiny.
* Boys are fun.
That's about all I've come up with. But it's enough. I'm excited for another little butt head to run around.

Maybe the Lord knows something I don't, and maybe I couldn't handle girls. I'm not the most sensitive or emotional person and boys can deal with that.
But I think this is the last baby for me. It's not 100%, and Erik would love to have 4 kids, but I don't know if I could handle more. I already feel like I don't spend enough time with Kire because Jack needs so much attention, and another baby will just make me feel guiltier. I've always thought 3 was a good number, so I hope I feel good about stopping after this little guy.

And I think we'll name him Kael.

Oh yea! Don't you feel like it is still a whole new adventure no matter what? My girls are so different from each other, and I know your boys are the same way, so what will this one be like.
I Love the name.
Congrats!

You didn't answer your phone so I am going to get all my thoughts out now!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I am so stinkin' EXCITED!!! THREE boys will be sooooo fun. If I had a choice I would rather have all boys than all girls! Cute name too, it's perfect. Saving money on clothes and toys is HUGE. I'm almost hoping for a boy for that reason. Think of all the money you won't be spending on tampons in the futrue too, hahahahaha!!! Natalie's right- each child has such different personalities that it is still going to be so fun. I know ALOT of people that are having all boys and I can't help but think it's because we are going to need a lot of missionaries in the future. I have many more opinions and ideas about that but that is the biggest! SO CONGRATULATIONS I can't wait to meet him!

Congrats on the news. That's what you get for marrying a man with so much testosterone and not a big wuss like Wheels did. At least you'll have 3 boys for our 3 girls now. Perhaps we can just do one big wedding for all 3 couples and save us all a bunch of money.

I really am happy for you! Keep your chin up! I ADORE the name!

I was so hoping you would get your girl! But once you see him fit perfectly in your family you will be fine! I would rather have 3 boys then 3 girls lol. You can borrow mine anytime :) And if you can do three you can have 20, seriously!

LOL! I know exactly how you feel, so I won't even try and make you feel better. I think we should start a support group :)

You just must be really good at raising boys! :) Shall his name be Kael Rip by chance? :)

That will be so fun for the kids to grow up together. And you never know, when this one is 3 or 4, your life may be way different and you might be able to handle a 4th.
