Boy or Girl?

Well tomorrow we find out if BB3 is a boy or a girl! It's such a fun time to be in this stage of life where our family is growing. Tonight we don't know what our family dynamic will look like, but by tomorrow at 9am we'll have another piece of the family puzzle.

I asked Justin what he is thinking about and the first thing he mentioned is that if we have another boy we'll be all set for clothes (even the seasons will be correct, again), but if it's a girl we'll have to buy a bunch of new clothes haha.

In all honesty though he said he's mostly just excited about how cute the boys are going to be when the baby comes. They're going to want to give the baby kisses and hugs. They're going to be such good big brothers.

In fact, it was so funny because when I was newly pregnant we started testing out Nolan's feelings on having another baby. And every single time we brought up the idea of another sibling he'd scowl and say, "NO! Branson is enough!" or "Just Branson!" But then a couple of weeks ago when we told him in no uncertain terms that there is a baby in mommy's tummy he immediately 180-ed. Seriously, there was not a moment of overlap. Now he and Branson are always patting my belly and saying, "good morning baby", "does baby wants some fries?" "does baby want some shake?" "can baby see the show?" "can baby hear me singing?" and telling the baby goodbye when I leave for work. It's the cutest thing ever. And when we had a water balloon fight the other day N didn't want to hit me or baby and told Branson not to hit me either. What a sweet gentleman.

Justin and I are also thinking tonight that it will be kind of fun to start thinking about names and starting tomorrow we can do that. In fact, he said he has a few girls names he really likes, but if it's another boy he'll have a hard time coming up one :)

I really am happy no matter if the baby is a boy or a girl. I'm sure it would be fun to have at least one of each gender, but at the same time I really love my boys and I'd be so happy to have another sweet little man in the house. Plus, I like the toys boys typically play with better haha. Although, obviously personal experience tells me that even a girl can like those toys and sports just as much, if not more, than the boys! I'm also a little bit worried about how I will handle a girls emotions. I'm already not the best dealing with the boys emotions, I can't imagine if I had a little girl that was more dramatic haha. But, who knows, maybe a little girl is just what I need to help me work on that side of myself :)

Either way, we are so very excited to welcome another precious child into our home that we get the privilege of loving and caring for. He or she is already blessed with two wonderful big brothers <3
