It's a....

GIRL!!! We just got back from the ultrasound and everything looks good. The office went against policy and let the boys into the ultrasound room to find out first hand what we were having. I was so excited and told the staff that they were very well behaved boys and that they didn't have anything to worry about. Well, the office staff forgot to tell the Ultrasound Tech so she was not so happy but we shuffled them in anyhow. After about ten min of measuring and such, right before she announced the gender, Caleb suddenly says,

"Dad! I don't feel good! I need to go to the bathroom!"

So out they all rushed to the bathroom where he drank some water out of a cup meant for a urine sample. We figured he got a little light headed from standing there with his knees locked for too long but we didn't want to risk him barfing all over the ultrasound room. I can see it now. To make a long story short. Right after they left, the tech turned the screen and said,

"It's a girl! Congratulations!"

A bit different than I envisioned but still delighted with the outcome. Caleb is fine but we kept him home from school just in case. I will have to put off my new shopping needs for another day Ü

David and I are super excited and the boys think that it's "OK" to have a girl.

Ice Ice Baby!

This is the best picture I could get, especially since I was not even the one who took it. David braved the freezing rain and took this of our tree out front. There was about an inch of ice covering everything in sight. Gotta love Missouri weather.
Oh what do you do in the wintertime, when all the world is freezing? You stay inside and go crazy! Well, to prevent that from happening, the boys and I have gotten really creative these last few days. I decided it would be fun to make a list of their favorite things. Enjoy:
