Yesterday I woke up with a little more zest than usual.
I was going to see Baby #4 for the first time.
Usually, I would have had an ultrasound done around the 8 week mark and another around the 18th. This time scheduling was different, and it felt long overdue. I wanted all the kids with us, but Sebastian spent the night with his cousin OD, so only Ethan and Clemmie tagged along to get a view of their newest brother.
Or sister.
We didn't find out! I was so proud of us because I know we were both so curious especially once we saw the baby moving all around inside my belly. But as anxious as we were to find out, we stuck to our original plan and I couldn't be more excited.
We've found out what the sex is for each pregnancy before. We want this time, our last time, to be different. I want to experience the whole, "It's a ______!" excitement in the delivery room. How cool would that be?
I think very.
Since we're going down this route, we need two names ready to go. The night before, Bobby was going over the "Top 100 Baby Names" lists on his phone (turns out there's a few, and the names are totally different on each one. I just don't want a name in the top 50....forgive me). We already have a girl's name picked out but I also like Molly and Camilla right now. Bobby likes them, too, but nothing can sway him from the one we already have (which I can't divulge - sorry!!!). As for boys, we don't have a final pick, but he loves Oliver and I love Leonardo.
So we'll see.
Yunno, this whole baby thing was so not expected. And the first 4 months? Miserable.
But now - now that my energy is coming back, now that we saw him/her....now it's getting fun.
Our Last One.
(This is not the heartbreaking photo I wanted to share for today. OBVIOUSLY. But my card reader isn't working and I can't upload my photos from Father's Day. Bummer! Hopefully I can make a stop at Best Buy today.....because I'm telling you, it's SAD!!!)

You have so much self control! I don't know if I could stand to not find out, but what an awesome moment it would be to wait. I'm pretty sure we are done, but if there ever is a #3 maybe we could hold out for the surprise!
oh how I wish I could do that. I would love to not know until delivery but I am not sure I could handle the waiting part.
Cant wait to follow you through this journey.. pregnancy is such an amazing thing!
Oh how exciting! I can't believe your will power to avoid finding out the sex. I was never that strong. I LOVE the name Molly, we actually tossed that around when we were considering Macy. I also liked Mallory and Mary Kate but Macy won out. Enjoy these last months, they will fly by!
I LOVE surprises!
How exciting!! And I adore the names you have picked out...I can't wait to find out if you are having a boy or a girl!
xo
I am so excited for you and impressed at your restraint. We were surprised for number one and found out for the next 3. That delivery room surprise is very cool indeed :)
I like the names you have divulged very much.
Can't wait to read about the rest of this journey.....
Way to go not giving in to the temptation to find out if the baby is a boy or girl! I have never had enough patience to wait!
Congratulations! I think it's awesome you aren't finding out the sex. I'm working on the hubby to not find out for next one! I'm glad you're feeling better!
Thanks, Everyone! xoxo
