Drum Roll Please...

Well, I guess it is official... we are having a girl ! I went yesterday to the 3D/4D sonogram office b/c I was getting anxious to know for sure. It seemed harder to wait this go-round as we were eagerly anticipating a new member of our family. I still find it hard to believe!!! A girl!! My perceptive little Adam was right-he knew when I was pregnant (praying for "the baby in mommy's tummy") and he told all of us that it was a girl. He is going to think God answers his prayers all the time. The pictures are a little freakish-looking, but please be kind and tell me how beautiful SHE is. :) I'm more nervous now knowing I'm having a daughter than not knowing what I was having. We waited with the boys to find out until their birthday so this is all new territory for us. Both Brian and I lost some zzzzs last night imagining what is to come, what her name will be...(this won't be decided until we meet her), and how our family will forever be changed***for the better I am sure! Hopefully she makes her debut in scheduled fashion the second week of July.

Let me know if there are others of you that are skeptical of this picture, as I can still be!?! I still can't believe that because I don't see a penis that it means she's a girl.

Our new brother!

Meet Duke, our new brother who is 8 weeks old. He was born to Mocha and Rusty on January 7, 2009, along with 6 siblings. Today he came to our house to live for hopefully a very long time.

He belongs with our family and has freckles to show for it. He is very cute! We hope he enjoys his home and all the attention that the boys want to give him. They can't wait to "train" him to fetch and take him for walks.
