Inspiration from Above

So I have been waiting some time to post this news. As most of you know Jef and I were done having kids, 3 boys was enough for both of us. In August I spoke with my doc about being permanently done and almost had the surgery set when he said that Jef and I should be sure. Boy was he funny, we were SURE, but following the prompting I took Jef to the temple to pray about it. I can not even express to you the feelings I had in there. I heard my mother speak to me as well as my heavenly father. They both said that the surgery was not for me at this time and it was time for us to have another spirit enter our family. Now that was real funny to both Jef and I, remember we were DONE!!!! So we fasted and went back to the temple again. And both times I felt there was one more for us. So now for those of you counting yes I was told 3 times by the spirit, I don't listen well, or wasn't ready to add yet another boy to the family. I am all ready out numbered and well frankly I don't know if I can handle all that stinkyness.



Sooo this is our big announcement. We are having another baby, the due date is June 6, 2008. Logan is very excited, but told me he only wants it if it is a girl, we will have to give it back if it is a boy. Little does he know, you can't give them back. On the upside of a boy, he wants to name it Rosario, after some cartoon guy. I told him to not to get his hopes up for that. Mason wants another brother, he knows that is all his parents can produce and is very realistic. Cole has noooo idea what is going on, poor kid, and his whole life is going to be turned upside down.



Here is a pic of our ultrasound. The doctor is "pretty sure" he sees girl all ready! He is a big wisher in my opinion. This picture is a 3D version and you can actually see the arm buds starting to form close to the arrow, the arrow is pointing at the back of the neck and the head curls towards the left. Logan is for sure this is a boy because he can see you know what, which is really the cord.




We love you all and hope you all had a great Turkey Day. I am very thankful for all of my many blessings.

I too can barely handle the ones I have, but apparently the Lord sees something different for me.
