SO, I GUESS I LIED...

 There is something so magical about having a baby when you have older kids.  Unlike our first or second baby, when it was all about Evan and I anxiously anticipating the arrival, this baby belongs to all of us.  We have four little people talking about, thinking about and preparing for the little bundle of joy right along side us! So at the last min. I decided that I wanted all four kids at the ultrasound (this would be the ultrasound that ended up taking an hour and 20 minutes!)  -we had an ultrasound tech in training and a very uncooperative baby.  At one point they had the bed relined at an angle with my head down low and my feet up in the air trying to get the pictures they needed- quite the adventure.  Meen while, Evan was working so hard to keep the kids quiet with crayons and paper and cuddles.  He was amazing.  Both the ultrasound techs mentioned how great the kids behaved...THANK GOODNESS :) 
Anyway.  Earlier that day, at the very last min, on our way to the hospital, the kids took a vote and decided they wanted to find out the sex of the baby.  I don't know how to explain how I felt about the whole thing other than to say that it just felt so right to all be together crammed around the screen waiting to hear the words...It's a boy!  I still cry when I think about it.  I feel so, so blessed to have the family that I have.  I am learning so much this year about the power of family unity.  

Hear are some of my favorite quotes from the experience:
Ewan (to the Ultrasound Tech): "Do you know what I am most excited about when the baby's born? Seeing the little tiny bellybutton!  And if it's a boy, the little tiny...you know, down there!"
Cameron: "IT'S A BOY!!!!!!"
Heather: "I am going to be like the baby's other Mommy and I will hold him and sing to him like this...Lullaby, Lullaby!"
Kathryn Anne" (on our way down hall to the ultrasound room) "This is going to be incredible!"
