Baby #3 IS...

On Friday February 10th we went and had our first ultra sound for baby #3. This is something that Josh and I definitely agree on. We both HAVE to know what sex the baby is. We can not stand the anticipation and surprise. For those that know me, know that I have to be completely ready for the baby when it comes. Anyways...we went to our appointment and surprisingly the prep for this ultra sound was a lot easier than the last 2 for Mal. With both Payton and Scarlett they required me to drink 32oz. of water 1 hour before my appointment and not empty my bladder. With this little baby they have changed their guide lines and they only require 24oz. of water 1 water before the appointment. That 8oz. came a huge difference. With the first two I was dying walking up to the doctors office. The discomfort was horrible. Then once I was in and they began the ultra sound the pain just increased because they push on you with the wand thing and then finally let you go release some but not all 45 minutes into the appointment. With this baby really is was so much easier and not so dreadful. I know this seems dumb to most people, but honestly this is one big part of being pregnant that I never enjoyed.

ANYWAYS onto what the baby is... 

BABY #3 is a GIRL!!!

We would be completely happy with either! Payton of course did not want another sister. He wanted a baby brother because he already has a sister. After the appointment we went and picked him and Scarlett up. Payton asked Josh what the baby is so Josh told him he was going to have another little sister. Payton just stood very still and didn't really change his facial expression. He didn't seem excited or sad. I don't think he knew what to think. Josh and I both proceeded to explain to him how lucky he is that its actually a girl and not a boy. We told him it meant more guy time with just Dad and Payton, also Scarlett would have to share all her girl toys, he will still be the only grandson on the Cambra side of the family which means he will continue to be spoiled, and he doesn't have to share the GI Joe room. After hearing all these things plus some others we was fine with having another sister. I think he is actually excited about having another baby in our family. We are all very thrilled and look forward to when she joins our family in July!!!
