Boy..oh boy...oh boy!

Tell me just tell you I LOVE my boys and am so excited to be carrying another one. He seems to be very active though and I do hope I have the energy for another boy. All along I have prayed the thought the Lord know what is best for our family. Yes, a girl would be nice - but I am completely content and happy with all boys too. I only know of one Bennett girl offspring in all the members I know and then there is my mom who had 5 girls before she finally had a boy...I'm not saying we are going to try that long though! So that was the short of it...if your interested in the emotions and craziness of the day you can keep reading....

So the whole reason I picked my Dr. clinic was the closeness. They have a facility 2 miles from the house and I can drive there myself and its nice and easy. Their second clinic is a good 1/2 hr drive plus finding a parking spot takes about 15 min. I have had 4 appointments - 3 of them I've had to go to St. Vincents (far away) and have been in tears every time (I know part of that is the pregnancy hormones). I tried driving there with Mike in the car before my first appointment and it was tricky and crazy. So Mike graciously drives me there with the kids each time. First app. was about the finances that put me in tears, 2nd was the full bladder and the long wait, today they didn't have me written down that I was suppose to have an ultrasound today. So I'm still seeing a different Dr each visit and today's was extremely caring and nice (and grew up in South Africa). She felt sorry for our long drive, the sad kids not to see the baby, me, and everything else and for free of charge brought in a machine to see the baby unofficially. She spent about 25 minutes checking it all out...she had to keep checking for the sex of it, we thought it was a girl most of the ultra sound but in the mean while we saw the fingers, eye lens, legs,he kept moving around but kept his legs crossed..till we were almost done. Then he spread his legs. Caleb is a little disappointed he really wanted a girl. So the day started bad but it was so nice to see the baby, find out, and meet such a caring nurse and Dr (she's getting bonus points for who I pick to do the c-section). Tonight the boys watched the Red Wings game in their garb while I went scrap booking with the church ladies. Mike will be looking for a Red Wing onesie now so the new boy won't be left out.

So I am halfway through this pregnancy- already - hard to believe! I've gained 8 lbs. I feel the baby kick and move all the time but Mike has only kind of felt it once. The heartbeat is around 150. I feel good these days and have a pretty good amount of energy. Now for picking out a name...any suggestions?
