To wait, or not to wait....

We have about 3 weeks until the BIG ultrasound. The one where we find out if I should get out all of the pink clothes, or the blue ones. The one where we make my oldest daughter very happy, or convince her another brother will be oh so fun. With our first three kiddos, we made finding out pink or blue a surprise till the very end. It was wonderful! The suspense, the anticipation, the driving people crazy because we didn't find out. It was so amazing laying on the table and waiting for the doctor to tell me who that new little cry belonged to.
But.. this time.. we aren't so sure we can wait. I feel the need to be prepared this time for everything. I want to prepare the kids so they feel more involved.
But... this is my last one. Can't I wait and be surprised just one more time? That feeling of not knowing is so wonderful and yet drives me nuts. Ugh....

So, I would like to know what you all think. Did you find out? Did you wait? What was the best part about it? I think we know what we will do, but it's nice to hear what others think too =)

A reason to smile...

So I have to whine a little.

I have been sick for what seems to me to be forever. First it was the morning sickness, then a bad cold, then Strep, and now I am back to the cold. I am so sick of being sick! I guess my husband felt bad for me.....

....or he is just tired of the whining.

Either way they are pretty, and they made me feel better today.

What a good guy I have. I truly don't deserve him.

Praying for better days ahead.

Prayer

Tomorrow at 8:30am my sister's life could change forever. She will be having an IUI. Intro Utero Insemination. The details are fuzzy and not really necessary, but it seems the doctors think the timing for her body is just right. Please help me to pray friends for a successful procedure. They have been trying for so long to get pregnant and have just about given up all hope. Pray that God will use this to strengthen their faith, and that if it is His will, a baby would be made!
I am very excited and can't wait to find out!
More details soon I hope!
