Goodbye Pink.... Hello Blue!

Easton fianlly got to join the big boys in the basement to play hockey.
He was excited, Spencer on the other hand wasn't!

Baby Update!

I will start by updating about baby #3 this week. If you haven't heard already we are having a baby BOY!!! We honestly went into the ultrasound 50/50 on if we should find out what we are having. Once we were in there though we both knew we wouldn't be leaving until we found out. We are so excited to be adding a 3rd boy to our family. After Ryan and I saw for ourselves, Grandma came in with Spencer and Easton and we were able to show them their new baby brother on the monitor. Spencer was a little confused and Easton had not a clue. Spencer knew he was going to see pictures of the baby, and he asked if the baby would be wearing a t-shirt!

Spencer also got a haircut on Monday.

Here's part of an email I sent out that answers a few questions we've been getting.....

So are we happy we found out? Yes, we are both excited to know the sex of this baby. We were surprised with both Spencer and Easton so we are enjoying doing something different and special this time.

Do we have names picked out? I have the name I like but Ryan's not sure about it. I told him he has 20 weeks to change my mind. We probably won't know until he arrives what his name will be.

I've been asked a lot now if we will try for a 4th for a girl or if I'm sad that I'm not having a girl: The honest answer is I'm almost 90% positive that we won't be having a 4th. I can't say 100% because, well you just never know what the future holds but right now our plan is that we are done at 3. To answer the other part to the question, I've always thought I was going to have 3 boys. For some strange reason a long time ago when I thought about kids I just had this gut feeling before I was ever pregnant I was going to have 3 little boys. I love the idea of having 3 boys. Of course there is a part of me that thought having a girl would be fun. It's not so much that I wanted a little girl for the pink stuff but I know how much I love my mom and what our relationship means to me that it would have been fun to share that with my own daughter. No matter what though I love my boys with all of my heart and feel they are the most special, cute and lovable little boys ever. I wouldn't trade them for anything!

*In addition to the girl part. I've had a few moments since finding out that I've thought hmmmm.... no pink for me. Today I was out shopping and it seems all the stores are coming out with their spring stuff. Trust me, it's way more fun to look at cute little girl dresses then board shorts and polos. There was a moment when I thought... there will never be any pink in my shopping bag. So there is still a part of me that is adjusting to the idea of 3 boys, I will just remind myself when I see all of those cute outfits how much money I will be saving by having boys instead of girls! We all know how girls love to share their clothes!

I would like to introduce baby boy #3......



So what's been going on the rest of the week? Monday we celebrated Ryan's birthday. We brought Easton into urgent care and found out he had pink eye in both eyes! That night we hung out as a family.....


We listed our house on Thursday and had our first open houses this weekend. The parade is going on so we were hoping to catch some of the traffic. It was weird to come home and think there were strangers in our house! I'm hoping we get some interest but I don't want our house to sell to quickly as we won't have a place to go and that brings on a whole new set of issues! Keeping your house clean with 2 toddlers is going to be interesting and I don't like the thought of needing to have our house "show ready" at all times. Basically while they do open houses on the weekends during the month of March we will be moving to Grandma and Grandpa's. So keep your fingers crossed and wish us luck!
