Well we had our ultra sound yesterday - the weather was nasty, the roads very icy - but we just couldn't wait to find out what we were having so we made the trip to Terre Haute for our Doctor appointment. The four of us went; Zach, Ty, Ike & I. The boys couldn't wait to see their baby brother/sister! When the tech told us she saw "boys parts" and Zach told Ty is was another baby brother Ty looked at the tech and said "uh! it's suppose to be a baby sister!" We all just laughed! It was in a way no surprise to me that I was having a boy! although I let myself look at the girl stuff this time I still in the back of my head thought it may be a boy. Our doctor looks over the pictures from the ultrasound with us, he said "everything is growing normally & the baby is healthy except"...and the he just starts laughing... "it's a boy!" He just couldn't stop laughing! Zach told him that he thinks he just doesn't have any girl in him...he claims "he's all man!" I told Zach, maybe this is God's way of telling us we shouldn't be done having children! haha! Because we had said that if we were having a girl then this would most likely be the last. So I think God said give those two another boy - so they will try again! :) Zach said "Jen, I don't think God is that funny!" We had told our doctor before that we wanted 4 or 5 - so Zach told him..."well it looks like I might have to have 5." The Doctor said "you know who's fault this is and pointed to Zach!" The doctor really got a kick out of the three boys thing!
How exciting for Ty & Ike to be getting a little brother! We've almost got ourselves a starting lineup! I am sure the fights won't be as petty as they were with a family of just girls! They will probably just duke it out and be done with it. I am thinking about 14 or 15 years from now - I will have 3 boys in high school - a freshman, junior & senior! It will probably be a crazy, yet super fun time in my life, let's just hope they don't cause too much trouble.
I was shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and an old couple complemented me on how good my boys were acting! I told her they aren't always this good. :) Anyway they were talking to Ty & Ike telling them how cute they were - somehow it came up that I was expecting again - I said "maybe it will be a girl this time" she said "and if it's not you will get your daughters the easy way!" That has just stuck with me. Even if I end up with all boys hopefully I get some great daughters in law!! :)
Enjoy the pictures of our precious, healthy baby boy #3! It's time to start the names game.
I am so excited for another cute little nephew! He looks adorable!! The 3-D pics are cool! I've been trying to think of some "short" boy names. Here's what I've got so far!
ReplyDeleteName Game:
Neal (after uncle Meal of course!)
Hugh (like Hugh Grant, Mom said Baby Huey)
Huck (short for Huckleberry)
Trey
Luke
Brock
Blake
Finn
Lyle (like the crocodile!)
P.S. Neal suggests Reggie.

ReplyDeleteTroy
Cam
Kale
Cain
Quinn
Wes
Kurt
Dale?
ReplyDeletehere are some of mom's suggestions...
ReplyDeleteThese are in no particular order. I think you already have a few of these on your list. Also Jen you may want to forget the short name this time because it is getting too hard to come up with something and you don’t want to name him something weird just to have a short name.
Hudson
Hunter
Trey (which of course means 3) but I keep thinking of a tray!! It would be the 3rd boy!!!!!
Luke which I saw you can spell Luc, because Lucas
Kipp
Kale but I do think of the vegetable
Lu, Lou, Louis, Lewis, Luie
Drew
And you did always like Jack- Ty, Ike and Jack
And you did like Jake – Ty, Ike and Jake – that has a nice ring to it!!!
Beau – but I know Zach has a cousin named that
Eli
Moon Face (Remember the story of the old man in the grocery store that asked me if I called you that, you were just a newborn but those cheeks of yours and all that black hair, kind of sounds like a Native American name.
Jose
Diego
Cole
Austen
I think my favorites are Luke, Jake
Parker
ReplyDeletePorter
Brooks
Oakes
Cal
Cash
Henry
Carter
Chad
Chip - diminutive form of Charles (English)
Coy - quite, still (English)
Cruz - the cross of Christ (Spanish)
