It's A.....BOY!!!

By now, if you are my friend in real life, you know we are expecting a BOY!!

And, boy, was I TOTALLY wrong. I 100% thought I would be having a girl. This pregnancy was very girl-like (craving veggies, not as sick as I was with my boys, etc). Clearly, that was just God having a funny sense of humor and wanting to surprise me.

We found out yesterday that we are having a boy! And, I have to say, I am so excited. When the ultrasound tech announced we'd be adding a boy to our crew, Brett and I both burst out in laughter and were so happy!! Laughter because we were so wrong, but also because we were overjoyed at the thought of another little man joining us.

I will post pictures as soon as I scan them. Compared to my other ultrasounds in the past, the pictures aren't as good....but in the room watching him (HIM!) on the TV screen, I got some good views. He was face down most of the time, so it was hard to catch a profile picture. But he was not ashamed to show his peeper....we saw that a few times! I actually was impressed with how much I could decipher on the screen (compared the my 1st ever ultrasound where I could barely tell anything). I thought I spotted the boy part before she even said it!

We found out early in the ultrasound that we're having a boy! The whole time, I just kept laughing at how off I was. But it also made it really fun because I truly was surprised. Life is more fun when you're completely shocked (in a good way) from time to time!

We have no clue what we're naming this cutie, but we have some time to think about it.

Coming June 15, another awesome, world changing Williams boy will enter this world! As my friend, Emily, put it so perfectly: "we are so blessed to be raising the great men of the next generation". After reading that, I could not help but pray and thank God for the awesome privilege of raising His future solid, godly men.

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
