Baby #4 is a...__________!!!!

I hope y'all had a merry Christmas!  A few days after we moved into our new house, we had the first checkup back with my old OB/GYN. We weren't for sure if we would get to have a sono, but a cancellation happened while we were there, and we got to have our big anatomy scan!  We were SO thrilled to find out we are having a HEALTHY baby!  We had the sonographer seal up a paper with our baby's gender written on it to open later.  We had no idea when!  Mark was DYING to find out, and we already had a family dinner planned for that evening, so we decided to just do it the same night!  We stopped by Kroger on the way, and the sweet florist opened the envelope and put the correctly colored balloons in a moving box, since we had hundreds of them at our house! 

 

Here are the girls' predictions while we waited in the parking lot for my mom to have the balloons filled. :) In case you can't get the video to load:

Landrie: GIRL!

Tatem: gull!!

Harper: cutie pie smile:)

Mark and I were SURE it was a girl too!  So sure, in fact, that I posted this on Instagram and Facebook that afternoon:

"I've already been putting all the extra pink things in the nursery as I unpack.  If this is a boy, I think I'll faint!!" 

 

We gathered around the moving box, ready for those pink balloons to pop out...

 

 

 

WHAT??!!?!

 

Here's a close up of my VERY HAPPY husband!!!

 

Check out the girls' faces!!  SOOOO surprised!!

 

Like I said, we totally didn't plan a gender reveal for this night, so this was just what the girls had on.  I love that on this very, very RARE occasion, no one was wearing PINK!  I think these are literally the most boyish outfits they own!  haha! 

 

Sweet little BOY, we are SO in love with you already!!  We quickly got all of the pink stuff out of your room and friends started dropping by with boy hand me downs the very next day!  Your big sisters decided they need to start watching Bob the Builder and Handy Manny to get ready for when you come!!  You daddy and I cracked up as we corrected each other for WEEKS when we would accidentally refer to you as "she!"  We have only known being parents to three VERY girlie girls, so we are so excited to welcome you into our family!  We cannot wait to meet you and LOVE YOU to pieces already!
