Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

THE VERDICT IS IN!

After two weeks and thirteen votes, dear friends and family...the results are in!
This beautiful, perfect, baby is...
Much to our delight...
A GIRL! (most of) you were right!
I have to say, I just cried and cried. I love my boys, I would love to have more boys because they are just great, but for Heather's sake, I really wanted her to have a sister. I never had a sister. I have wonderful sisters in Law whom I love, but I never had someone to play Barbies with...Oh wait a second...I guess Andrew played with me sometimes! (he he)
We call our boys "the boys" all the time...now it will be the "the girls" too!!!!!

My rapidly growing tummy.

(funny story)...We told Cameron that mommy was going to have some pictures taken of inside her tummy and they might be able to tell if it is a boy or a girl...I said "Can you guess how they tell what it is?" And he replied "Penis or no penis?" Smart boy.

Five boys and now three girls, things are starting to even up!!! I was hoping Johnathan would have a boy cousin to play with. I guess we'll have to leave that to Ben and Holly!!!!! We are happy for Heather to have a little sister. Why don't you take votes on names now? Love mom

Congratulations!! Another wedding to pay for! (that's what Duane always says anyway). It's great that they will be somewhat close in age. Sophie is 7 and Lillianne is 2 and they play together all the time. I love little girls!
