Just a quickie...

I had to share this... I saw it on Facebook and it needs to be passed along!! Remember the Muppets?

Pink or Blue? I smell a contest!!

What are your guesses? In fact, maybe we ought to start a little contest here to guess gender, weight, length, & due date! I think it's a great idea!! So, for those of you that glance your way over here from time to time, add a comment w/ your guesses. The person that gets the closest guess to all 4 will win something really outstanding from us. Like, how about you get to change a couple of really bad diapers? Or maybe a 3 a.m. wake-up call to come rock him back to sleep? Or babysitting him for the first time? I can hear the voice in your head now, "What? That's not a prize. I don't want to rock him back to sleep! Wait a minute, did I read that right? He just said 'him'! Was that really what they're having or were they just picking a gender for the sake of not having to say 'it'?!? I think he actually might have slipped up and told us the gender!!"

Yes. It's true. IT'S A BOY (I did it small so it didin't jump off the page at you all!!)!! I'll let Jana elaborate a little bit more (she did below this posting), but suffice it to say that we were both pretty sure that the news we received from the ultrasound tech wouldn't be a surprise, and we were right. By yesterday morning we were both fairly certain that another boy would be joining our family, and almost as soon as the tech put the jelly spreader on Jana's belly, there it was! Definitely a boy... and BTW, it doesn't look anything like that baby in the upper right corner of this page. Ours looks more like a black and white blob, almost like a Rorschach test, with little bits of grey sprinkled in.

It's a baby ???

Well, for those of you who follow this blog (Is there anyone?) We did indeed find out the gender of the bean...We are way excited to announce that we will be welcoming another BOY! What?! Not what anyone thought it would be. I thought the bean was a boy lately and yes, there is no doubt about it! My Mom was the most excited. When I told her she shouted and laughed and was so excited that it made me feel really good. I think the boys are happy. Nicholas is really fine with any baby as long as there is a baby and Ethan says it's great but less enthusiastically. But it will be great. We got lots of cute pictures but I'm too lazy to put them on right now...maybe Clark will later. Oh, and most importantly, everything about the bean looks good and right on schedule!

Surprise!

Surprise this is Not Clark and I have changed the background without his permission. (That's not to say that I need his permission.) Is this background manly enough for Clark to continue blogging? I think so. So, the main reason that I haven't been posting is because I have no visuals to go along with my ramblings. Our camera is broken...so hint hint, (Clark) that would be a good gift for Christmas. I think that as a girl you need some visual proof of an event otherwise there is nothing to write about. Did it actually happen? There have been many fabulous moments I have wanted to preserve over the last few months too...Like Halloween and the sinful;) Twilight movie that I went to with some fun friends from my ward and a lot of other very important events that are now forgotten because we don't have a camera so I can't remember what they are. Maybe that is because my brain has shrunk since I have been incubating the bean. Most definitely that is the reason! I am so so so excited about the bean BTW! We hopefully will find out on December 11th what we are having. Everyone wants us to have a girl including Nicholas, Ethan and me. (and Clark too I think) Of course we will take what we can get, but we would like to even out the hormones in this house just a little bit. Immediately my mind jumps to the thought "be careful what you wish for". I think it might be fun NOT to find out what we are having but Clark says no way. Instead he is opting for us knowing and not telling anyone else. I don't know how well that would be received though, any thoughts? Okay this is the post about nothing so I'll end there with one more note:

Happy Birthday to my Brother Kenny today! How old are you today? You must be ancient by now right? I can say that because I am by far the youngest in my family!
