It's a girl!

So even though the word is out via Facebook, i thought i should post for blog-book posterity:  It's a girl.  I had a doctor's appointment today (my ultrasound isn't scheduled for a few more weeks).  I thought that MAYBE, if they were feeling nice, they would take a peek for me and let me know what i was having.  When they initially put me in the exam room, they put me in the nice room with the nice ultrasound and huge TV and i thought it was all going to go down.  Then, a few minutes later the nurse popped her head in and said "we need to move you to a smaller room....our next patient needs an ultrasound", so i got bumped....and there would be no "taking a quick peek".  The doctor did comment when listening to the heartbeat though.  He said "sounds like a boy heartbeat to me".

As i was leaving the office i dialed up a 3D ultrasound place in a strip mall a few towns over.  I had it in my head that i wanted to find out and I wasn't going to let some exam-room-switch stop me.  The lady at the 3D ultrasound place had 5 boys as well, and was merciful and worked me into the schedule that day.

I was in complete disbelief when she said "it's a girl".  I made her double check about 8 times.

When Carson found out he was super exceed and said "it's about time".

Parker was not thrilled. "I hate girls.  We don't need a baby girl.  Baby girls are not my favorite."

Brady was excited.  After being tucked into bed he wandered out into the family room and said "We need to figure out a name for this little girl.  Can you come back in our bedroom, carson and I have some ideas and we want to take a vote."  Carson's first suggestion was Isabelle.  Then he thought maybe we should make a list of 24 names, then a final list of 3 names...then we can wait to see what she looks like and go from there.

We are all (except for parker) super excited!
