When Todd and I got married he told me "You can have as many kids as you want". I thought it was a really weird thing to say since I was pretty sure I had told him I only wanted two! Over the years, I always knew he wanted more, but it took me a while to realize that that is what I wanted too.
I NEVER pictured myself with four kids! But through the sleepless nights, temper tantrums, and complete chaos; we have found so much joy. And we are soooo excited to be welcoming another
BOY
into our family!
Of course, we would be just as happy to be getting another girl. But if I had been given the choice, I would have chosen a boy. Out of 7 grandkids here in Boise, Ty is the only boy. And he really needs a partner in crime! Add that to the fact that we have a 3 bedroom home, and another boy is the perfect fit for all of us!
All of our kids were excited to find out, and I was really happy that we could all find out together. This video is dark, but you can still see how excited Ty is to have a brother on the way. He keeps telling me that he is going to teach his little brother how to play Angry Birds!
This is my favorite shot from the ultrasound. Looks like he is yawning. So adorable! Can't wait to see and hear those little baby yawns this summer.
It is so fun to be finishing off our family with 3 girls and 3 boys in the house. I am glad that God sent the girls first though. I feel like I needed those first few years of parenting to prepare for parenting boys. And now I have 2 older sisters to help me, so I know I can survive!


Ha Ha! He's going to teach him Angry Birds - so cute! :)

2 boys and 2 girls, it's perfect! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for your family! It will be so fun to see Ty with his new brother. Also it's so cool that you had your whole family there for the ultrasound, we've never thought to take our kids and it seems like it would be a really neat experience for them.
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited for your family! Now Hank and Ty can have another little partner in crime to bother the girls ;)
ReplyDeleteI love him already!
