Happy and a Little Depressed!

K so I totally suck at this blogging thing lately. I guess between school, being pregnant, and all the normal day to day I just haven't had the time or energy to do it - sorry, I will try to do better! So anyway here is the latest and greatest!
Yesterday I went in to have something done that has already happened to me twice before. The first time I was pretty excited, and the second time, not so excited, but still happy! Can you guess? Well I went to the doctor to get an ultra sound done just to check if my due date matches up with the baby measurements. I wasn't supposed to be finding out anything really just a quick check of things, but through the course of the visit I didn't even have to have the technician tell me what she passed over. I could see it in plain black and white - we are now expecting our 3rd BOY!!!! (I tried to attach the picture for proof, but couldn't get it to work.) Tyler kept trying to make me feel optimistic telling me that it could be wrong and yes I would love to think that, but if you saw the picture you would agree with me that all hope is definitely lost.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I was totally hoping for a girl, and I won't lie - a little depressed for a minute - and now after a day of letting it soak in I am just hoping for a healthy baby. I'm sure I will love it just as much if it were a girl:) Gosh, I thought my house was crazy right now - it is now going to get even more wild! A look on the bright side - I am totally prepared for a boy and won't have to go broke buying all the cute girly things. The real problem lies in coming up with another boy name. I was already all prepared with about 3 or 4 girl names that I like and now that we are back to finding a boy name I am stuck. So any good suggestions?

Yah! I'm excited for you! I can't believe that you could tell so early. I'm sure that initial let down will be completely forgotten when little 'Trey' gets here. Congrats!!!
Big hug,
Sarah

Oh... I'm sooooo sorry! It's a hard thing to hear! Yes, girl things are soooo fun. And yes, you have lots of advantages of a houseful of boys and all the stuff that gets passed down and shared, but I feel for you. There is something about having a little girl to help you not be outnumbered, but there is even something more special about boys connections with their moms. If you ever need a little girl around, we'll trade for a new little baby to hold! Congrats and I hope you have a good pregnancy and the baby is healthy! Good luck on the name game. Boys names are the HARDEST. Wish I could help but we struggled with that.

I'm excited for you to join my club!! Just think how much fun it will be to take our 6 boys places! Hee hee! I feel bad that you feel let down - it's hard to have an expectation not turn out the way that you wanted it to. At least you'll have me to lament to about how crazy your house is because mine is too! I'm just glad you finally found some time to blog! I miss you!

nikki said...

Oh - and I will think on some boys names for you!

Hi Donnette, it's Lana (Tolman) from High School! I keep seeing you on Shelly's blog so I wanted to say Hi! You look absoulutely beautiful......still! What a gorgeous family! I know how you feel about the boys. I have two boys and I am sure when I have a third it will also be a boy! I am excited that you are pregnant and hope you are feeling good! Take care!

congratulations on being pregnant! Boys are wild but can be so much fun, as you know. Girls can bring a lot of drama to the table. So just be glad you will have a little less of that. :) Glad you updated your blog! I'm not very good at updating mine either.

Oh yeah... I've always a harder time with girls names for some reason. My husband and I don't agree on very many girs names, boys names were always easier for us for some reason. We never decided on the name until after the baby was born. We're last minute kind of people.

Congratulations! Boys names, hmmmm I do have a few, only because I am hoping to get pregnant and have a little boy, so here are just a sampling: Nelson, Charles, Allan, Ethan, Benson, Russell, Scott, I could go on, but there is a start:)

Oh that is so exciting!!! I know it is kinda sad when you find out another boy. . .but I'm sure you will forget all about it as soon as you see his cute little face! I love the name Jake for a boy. I'll keep thinking too. . .
