Baby Bailey #4 is a...

First thing tomorrow morning we get to find out if baby #4 is a boy or a girl! It really is such an exciting time in our lives. Tomorrow we get to find out the next piece in our family puzzle. Tomorrow we start planning a bit more for the future. I can't even really describe the feelings I'm having right now. Of course I'm so excited, but also kind of...nervous? Or even not excited sometimes because it's kind of fun not knowing? I don't know!

Of course with 3 boys most everyone has asked us if we're hoping for a girl. I can honestly, truly say that I don't care either way. I'm really not pining for a girl in any way. Of course it would be fun and different to have a girl, but I love my boys so much that I would be perfectly happy being a total boy mom too. 

I think Justin would be a cute girl dad, but he's also such a fun boy dad. Just today we were going through their toys and it was just as hard for Justin to get rid of any toys as it was for the boys! He's really just a big kid hehe. 

We've also joked that a girl would throw a wrench in things because we'd have to figure out the room situation at some point, and we already have all the boy clothes we could possibly need, and way too many toys already. So adding a girl would definitely add to our stuff haha. Preston and Devin just had a girl after 3 boys so it'd be crazy if we had that same makeup. 

For the last month or so Branson has been insisting he wants the baby to be a girl, while Nolan sticks with his desire for a boy to increase his "boy army" haha! Oh, and also, I learned something new just today. When B said he wanted the baby to be a girl Nolan piped up and told me, "he only says that when parents are around. When it's just me he says he wants it to be a boy." I looked at Branson with an 'is that true?' look and his mischievous smile told me it definitely was. Silly kid!

Anyway, super excited for tomorrow and I can truly say that all we are hoping for is a healthy baby. We can't wait to see this sweet little one that is joining our family and learn the first big piece of information about him/her. Baby, we all love you so so much already! Your big brothers are constantly rubbing and hugging and kissing my belly because they can't wait to meet you!
