It's a....

Boy!

 Mike was unable to make it to my ultrasound which was in early December.  I had to tow the girls along which I know the technicians were not happy about (I had called to try to reschedule the appointment as there was no one available to watch the girls, and there was nothing available).  They barely blinked the entire hour as they watched a movie though, and the lady commented that they could come back any time. so there! ha! Anyway, my doctor came in to see how things were going (also to check out the ovary that he had done the surgery on).  The doctor mentioned it looked like a boy, and the ultrasound technician confirmed that it was indeed! 

As Mike wasn't able to make it I wanted to do something fun to tell him the news.  We stopped at a children's clothing store and bought a boys sleeper that we wrapped up with the ultrasound picture on top.  He got to unwrap it to find out the news when he got home.  I was pretty worried that Rose would just blurt it out, so I just encouraged her to keep watching her tv show when Mike got home.

We're excited by the news although it came as a shock at first.  We've often joked that Mike could probably only have girls.  Most things around here are gender neutral anyway, although there are a lot of cute girls clothes that will have to go.  Time to get mentally prepared for all things boy!! Exciting to have both.
