~ Baby #4 is a....~

Boy!

The day I had my ultrasound I told the kids that when I came to pick them up from school I would bring blue balloons if it was a boy and pink balloons if it was a girl.  They thought I should bring purple balloons if it was a girl and green balloons if it was a boy.  Well that worked out well for me because when I tried to get helium balloons from the store I found out there is a world wide helium shortage.  Since I wasn't about to pay them to blow up a balloon with their own air, I ran home and looked in my own personal stash of balloons only to find green and purple.  Thank goodness those kids were set on green and purple instead of blue or pink, eh?  

Cordy was very excited for her balloon.  When I was waiting in the preschool pickup line for Elyssa I held up the balloon and showed her.  Her jaw dropped and she started dancing around all excited.  When we picked up Alec later in the day and I held up the balloon he looked confused for a minute and then a big smile spread across his face.  Another brother!

Though I didn't have any reason to worry, I was still relieved to see a healthy, growing baby boy on the ultrasound screen.  We are all very excited for his upcoming arrival at the end of March.  :-)

Now, what on earth are we going to name him???
