More making plans

This time around we are making plans for the Spring. We will be adding another baby to the household. Jeff and I went for an ultra sound yesterday and all is looking good at this moment. (I would post a picture, but our scanner is dead. And, the baby was not cooperating at the time they took the pictures so they are not great) Jeff asked if they could tell if the baby is a boy or girl. The best guess is girl, but they can not really tell. I am not sure if I want to find out for sure, so he might have to wait until the delivery room to know for sure.

We told the kids last night. Macie doesn't really get it and kept looking at me funny trying to find a baby. She also said she thinks we should name the baby Baby Carson. Carson just plain did not believe Jeff. Jeff told him that mommy has a baby in her belly. Carson said No she doesn't. They went back and forth for a little while until we finally got the ultra sound picture. When he saw it, he decided to believe us. He was excited.

I blogged another time about the debate on having a third child. Jeff was willing and ready, but I was a little more hesitant. I worry about the details of managing 3 kids and about how Macie will do being a middle child (My mom is a middle child and hated it). At times I also feel like I am taking a big risk. We have 2 healthy children and there is no guarantee that kids will be healthy. Ultimately, I decided to trust God with the choice. We would try for awhile and then be done. I guess I kind of thought we would quit trying and then talk about adoption. But, in what was probably the last month I was willing to try with some other obstacles in the way, this tiny baby was conceived. (I don't want a summer baby that would keep me away from doing the fun summer stuff with Carson and Macie) So, we will begin a journey of being a family of 5. I KNOW I do not want a 4th child, so we won't have the debate again.

We will have another ultra sound in 6-8 weeks. Hopefully we will have a new printer/scanner by then so I can get you a sneek peek.
