Today I told Olivia that I was going to the doctors to find out if our new baby was a boy or a girl. She told me she wanted a girl. She liked Calvin and Daddy, and they’re boys, but still . . . Later that day (when it was actually time to go) I reminded Olivia we (Wyatt and I) were going to the doctors. She asked if she could come, and I explained that she couldn’t. “Wait!” she called after me at the door, “tell the doctor I want a girl!”

Boy
That afternoon, when we returned home, Wyatt and I sat her and Cal down and told them we were having a boy. “Can we name him Jesus?”
No Olivia.
And then at the realization that a boy was coming and not her requested girl, she burst into tears and was inconsolable for about a half hour. But I am confident she will love baby boy . . . as soon as she gets used to the idea.
Congrats!!! I didn’t realize you were so far along already. Now I realize why you’re not in any of the pics lately. 😉 That’s exciting you’re having another boy. After having both, I really think I prefer boys. Were you hoping for something particular?
By the way, this post made me laugh outloud at Olivia’s cuteness. I think that’s adorable that she wanted to name him Jesus!! 🙂
Hi Michelle!
If we were leaning towards wanting anything, I think we leaned more towards a boy so Cal would have a brother close in age. But we didn’t really care what it was. I have alot more cute baby girl clothes than boys though.
yay! congrats!!
