party of five!

i always loved that show when i was a youngster. anyway, we are adding another one to the fam. we went to the dr. today and so far all looks well. i'm getting more excited to have a new babe in the house. carter is SO excited to have another baby and is really hoping for a boy (today it looked like he might have his wish). but we won't have our ultra sound for a few more weeks to see for sure. it's gonna be one hot summer, but we couldn't be more excited. i'm due sept 5th! i have been SO tired and hungry this pregnancy that i was thinking there had to be twins in there, but only one, so now i have to feel more guilty for gaining way too much weight already and being VERY lazy! hoping i'll feel like normal soon.........



a little back history i found out really early this time (dec 22nd), but had some spotting, so it's taken me a really long time to feel like this is for real, so after hearing the heartbeat and today's ultra sound i'm feeling good and really excited! can't wait for another baby bates. please be mellow.........

Hooray! Congratulations! At least in our case, our third was/is pretty chill -- I think it's God's way of saying "thank you" for taking the first two!

btw, it still might be a girl- at 12 weeks the sex organs look pretty similar. Some believe that you can predict based of the "angle of the dangle. Sick, but ya know. Here is a website with more info. I'll have my mom look at the pics though if you want. She is REALLY REALLY good at getting the sex right early on.
