The Verdict

Okay so I'm finally posting the news of the sex of our baby...we are so excited to welcome a BOY to our home. The girls went with Tracy and I to the ultrasound appt on the 18th. Tracy had a bet with them that if it is a boy he would buy them an icecream cone, and if it is a girl they have to buy him one with their own money. Guess who one! The girls were not only excited to have a brother but also to have an icecream cone! I thought that was so cute of him to do that:) A couple days later my mom and sister Jen came to visit. Jen has 2 girls and a boy. We had such a fun time other than the normal drama that happens when I have her come visit! HA! Afton started a fever Fri and then broke out with herpes sores a throughout her mouth. I felt so bad for her. The virus is called Primary Herpetic Gingivastomatitis. Very painful!! It is a week later and she still is hurting but I think she is on the mend. Hailee and Tessa had a blast with Peyton and Meg. I'm sure you have read Jen's blog, but the drama of Jen having a sinus infection, Meg throwing up, and Afton's sores was enough for all of us. Needless to say we still had fun shopping for a little boy in my tummy and me not having a clue how to shop for one:) Staying up late and playing games! Tracy giving us a break and taking the girls to Dairy Queen for icecream cones and DI to buy stuff animals. He was wonderful to take on 5 girls! We love having family and friends come stay with us! Okay who is next to come????

I have to add two more cute photos of my nephew Drake, Tessa and Afton. It was fun having him over for a few hours one morning so his mom could get some rest after having his baby sister Elsie! We love you Drake!
