So much has happened since the last post and I don't feel like reliving it all so I won't. ;-) The following picture will explain the most important update.
We are expecting baby number 4 August 21st. Okay, so I'll be induced sometime in the days before. This little fellow was happy to say hello to us today. Look closely. He is waving at us and smiling. I swear you can see his little smile.
So yes, it is a boy. I had an experience at church about 3 weeks ago and I KNEW it was a boy. The last 3 weeks have been preparation for me to except the "official" news today. The sonographer came in and asked if we wanted to know the gender and we said yes. She started the sono and as soon as the baby came into view she said, "Boy. Without a doubt.". The doctor came in later and did a sono and confirmed it, not that I expected any different. I knew when I walked in what they would say. I have no earthly idea why I must have 4 boys, in a row nonetheless. I'll find out one day. I've decided that since this is "old news", as far as the nursery, colors, clothes, etc, that I am going to change it up. I'm going to give him a new nursery and I'm boycotting blue as the main color. I'm also going through ALL the boys clothes I own and giving away any clothes that I don't LOVE. I have pinned lots of fabulous boys clothes and I plan on making at least 20 different things for him in different sizes.
Let me answer the standard questions I'm sure I'll get.
1. Yes we tried for a girl. CLARIFICATION: we wanted a 4th CHILD but were physically trying for a girl.
2. Yes I'm a little disappointed but really, I'm fine. I tell you, Heavenly Father has been preparing me for 3 weeks.
3. I'm 90% sure we are done after this baby. The thought of having 5 children makes me ill.
4. I still maintain that we make the cutest boys EVER. ;-)
So, here's to 4 little boys.
Oh, we had cupcakes with a blue filling to announce the gender to the boys. This morning we told the boys it would either be pink or blue. Douglas all day would say, "I know it's a girl. Why would Jesus give us another boy." Poor kid was a little dispointed when he bit in and found blue.
We told Douglas to give us a thumbs up. Poor little guy looks like he might cry.

Congratulations! You make raising boys look easy and are a great boy mom! I agree that you do make the cutest little boys ever (well I know 2 who might be just as cute :)).
Congrats! So excited for you! IN all honesty, Douglas's face is the reason we didn't find out what our baby #4 was. I knew that that the big kids would love the baby as soon as they held it, no matter if it was a boy or girl (there were very strong feelings for both genders) and I didn't want the disappointment/irritation leading up to delivery! You are a great boy-mom! And, it's easy to say this will be the last one while you are in the midst. Best friends just had her 5th - and her 1st little girl. :) Good luck and hope you are feeling great!!!
Congrats! We're excited for you!
Congrats Crystal!!! I'm glad you were prepared to hear that it is a boy. You seem like such a good mom and your boys don't seem wild and crazy! You just get to raise a bunch of missionaries! ;)
