4 out of 5 of us are currently sick. Maddux has been coughing and stuffy. Spencer is coughing, stuffy, and runny. Jakob spent the night at Gran and Papa’s last night and apparently decorated Josh’s room (I think he just over indulged on Christmas party goodies). I am stuffy and have a killer sore throat.
We have 2 and a half days to get rid of this mess or we won’t be having the happiest Christmas ever! I am a big baby when I am sick and Maddie isn’t much better. It’s going to be fun!
We found out yesterday that baby #4 is definitely a girl! I think we were both stunned to her the tech say “I don’t know, that looks like a girl to me” after swearing for the last 4 months that she was definitely a he. I think I spent the entire ultrasound in tears. And what’s even better than her being a girl is that she is a completely healthy little girl.
We told Jakob and Spencer (who have been told from day one that she was a he too) last night. We told them by giving them both pink burp cloths and telling them they were going to need to use those in case the new baby spit up. At first it didn’t click with them but then Dylan asked “Do you think they are a good color?”. And Jakob said “Well, they look kind of girlie.”. And then it clicked. Spencer said “NO WAY! I AM NOT GOING NEAR THAT! GIRLS ARE WEIRD!”. They both got pretty stoked when we told them they could now get those funny shirts that say stuff like “Will trade my sister for candy”. Silly boys.
Maddux keeps saying her name over and over again. WAudrey. (It’s Audrey, but he has to add the W) And he keeps saying “My sister”. It sounds so cute and so bizarre. He no longer wants to squish the baby anymore either. Before we found out, he had this thing he liked to do. I would ask him if he wants to squish Sawyer and he would drop everything and run over and squeeze my belly. He doesn’t want to do that now.
It’s so so crazy!
