"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Pregnancy Journal

4-5-12
We went and had our ultrasound yesterday, he is a BOY!!!  We're surprised for the most part, but VERY excited!  I really was starting to feel like this was a girl just because of how sick I've been, but looks like I might just be getting older!  
I get so anxious to meet the little guy now!  I was talking to the younger kids in the car today, since I finally found my "big sister" shirt that I was looking for, and figured they could know now, and I said something about me having a baby and Luke and Noah both came back with a quick, "I KNOW!"  I was curious how they "knew" and Luke said, "Because we always have a baby, you had Erika and now a second one!"  Good logic there, bud.  Makes sense.  Wish everyone could think that way :).  Makes me laugh that he calls this baby the "second baby".  And for Luke to have caught onto that one is just hilarious.  He's pretty much the most unobservant person I've ever met.  So anyway.  Funny kid, seems unphased by the whole thing.  I had hoped he would be more excited, but we'll take indifferent over disappointed any day.  
The big kids were very excited, and started helping us think of names.  My favorites so far from their suggestions are Carlos, Elmo, Abinadi, and Duke.  They're so creative :).  Boy names are not our specialty.  We'll see if he ends up with one.  We do have a good 5 months to think of it, so we'll see.  
I was tearing up when I was talking to Noah about what he will get to do with his new little brother someday.  Teaching him how to be a superhero, flying, shooting things, and of course burping :).  He smiled at most of them, and actually looked like he might be excited, and that was fun for me.  I hope he embraces his new role as big brother when he gets here.
