We are going to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. I am more into getting things ready rather than being surprised, and I find knowing the gender of the baby helps with the planning.
I did not know how serious the gender of this baby was going to be until Bug and I had our brother/sister talk. It went something like this…
Me- Are you excited to have a new baby brother or sister?
Bug- Yes, if it is a girl I am going to call her Tinkerbell and if it is a boy I am going to punch it in the face.
Me- (shocked into silence)
So Bug and I had a talk about how newborns need lots of love and care from big sisters no matter if they are a boy or a girl. We also talked about how completely unacceptable punching a baby in the face is.
I have been quizzing her on the brother and sister thing in order for me to understand that she understands she may not hit a baby brother. Now when I ask her if she is excited about her new baby brother or sister she says…
Bug- I want the baby to be a girl, but if it is a boy I will not punch it in the face because that is mean and babies need love.
I am happy with that answer, but I will still be keeping an eye on little Bug.

That is so funny!! Yes, it will be a good thing to find out the sex of this baby!!
It does help the kiddos get to know the baby and feel closer I think!
Oh my! Kids sure can shock you, eh? My oldest used to desperately want a baby brother, until she made friends with the neighbor girl (who has 2 brothers)...now she's decided brothers are awful and hopes we'll always have girls.
I waited for 3 of them and found out with one of my kiddos. I cannot wait. It is a big deal boy or girl!
The things kids say!
Hilarious! When we were expecting Celeste Luke said he wanted to name the baby Ostrich.
Isn't it fun to have a family?
