So this has been the million dollar question this month. . . well it's usually phrased as "do you know what you're having yet?" When I've said "no" usually I'm then asked what I think it is and I have often answered that I think it's a girl although I've had no real reason to think so. Yesterday Nick and I went in for an ultrasound and 92 pictures and an hour later (they're so thourough these days) we now know the score: boys 3 girls 0. Yep that's right in March we will welcome baby boy #3 to the Oliver family. Nick and I just laughed and shook our heads in disbelief. I've been warned by a friend who has 5 boys that at this point in the conversation some people (none of you of course!) will 1) offer their sympathies for it not being a girl 2) assume we will be having a 4th child so we can try for a girl 3) ask about our personal family planning. And to all of that I can honestly answer that we couldn't be happier! I can give you a list of reasons of why it would be fun to have a girl but 2 miscarriages later none of them seemed very important to me as I watched our healthy, VERY active litle guy swim about on the monitor. What more could a girl ask for?
