Want Baby Sister!



Well, the truth is: we were told this baby was a boy several weeks ago while Christina was having some additional testing done. At that time, the doctor said he was about 95% sure it was a boy. A few days later, however, Christina was holding McKay on her lap, and the following conversation ensued:

Christina: Oh, baby! There isn't going to be room for you on my lap when baby brother comes.
McKay: No brother! Sister! Want baby sister!

This was a surprising development. We hadn't attempted to sway McKay either way. We had simply told him a new baby was coming. Truthfully, we weren't convinced he knew the difference between a brother and a sister until that point.

So, we held out on the gender predictions, just on the chance McKay might have gotten some little glimpse of what was to come. We even considered NOT rechecking. In the end, the suspense was too much, so we took another peak. The "turtle sign" was crystal clear. The percentage is now more like 99,9999% that the new baby is, in fact, baby brother.

McKay has a tendency to be stubborn, and still frequent insists that baby sister is coming, though now, after all our explaining, it has become baby brother-sister.

Personally, I don't think he is wrong. I think he is just looking further ahead than us! 3 boys in a row, we will have to see.


Arm: We are having another long child, his arms are a week ahead.
His already in the 90%

Little Foot
Big Head

Big tummy, 2 weeks ahead, boy this kid already eats a lot.

Boy parts

We've having a turtle, look how cute!

I guess we are having another big boy. Most of his stats are above 75%. I just hope he is smaller then McKay was.

YAY! COngratulations! Looks like we're heading for a whole herd of boys :) I have this little theory that Heavenly Father is going to be in dire need of missionaries in about 20 years... kind of fun to think about our boys serving missions at the same time.
