Yes, we had our ultrasound today and there is no question that we are having a boy! The baby was moving around so much during the entire ultrasound, I was getting worried that we wouldn't be able to find out at all. But thankfully, he cooperated. He has long arms and legs and a distinguished nose like our other kids. I am just so excited to meet him!
When we told the kids, Brevin gave me a giant hug and said, "Finally, the brother I've been waiting and waiting for." Lindie jumped up and down and started talking to the baby saying, "Well, hello there little brother!" Michaela hung her head and cried. I picked her up and she just sobbed. She finally put her head up to look at me and said, "Mommy. I really, really, really wanted a little sister." Lindie saw Michaela and said, "Michaela, don't cry! Your prince is coming!" That cheered Michaela right up and she's been saying all day today how her prince is coming! Thank you, Lindie.
Randy and I don't have any names. We asked the kids what names they liked. Brevin likes the name Anthony (no), Lindie likes Jack (hmm) and Michaela likes Devin because it rhymes with Brevin (no, we're not going to do that). Matthew, Ryan and Corbin are also contenders, so we'll see what HE looks like and go from there.
Wow. Another boy!

Summer, Summer, Summer
The kids finished school on Thursday!! Hooray! Thanks to my amazing neice, Kaitlyn, I was able to make it through the last week of school while Randy was away in Kentucky. He was off grading AP Stats tests for the AP College Board again this year. Next year they'll be grading in Florida. Can we say Disney World, anyone? That would beat crying non-stop after a sacrament meeting from HADES. Why do kids act up when dad is not here? Kaitlyn, you saved me! Thank you!
Today I attended my older sister, Celeste's, college graduation. As soon as they started playing "Pomp and Circumstance" I was a basket case. Her son, McKay, kept asking me why I was crying. My first response was, "Oh, I'm pregnant. It doesn't take much for me to cry." And then I had to remind myself that it doesn't take much for me to cry when I'm not pregnant. So why was I crying? Because I am so PROUD of my sister! I could feel of my Grandma Bingham and Grandma Johns presence. Both women instilled in us a desire to better ourselves in everyway, and to get an education. I thought of my parents in far away Ghana, Africa, and how they taught us to work hard, and to do whatever it takes to get an education. I thought of my sister, and how she went to night school while rearing her 5 children (ages 5-15) and did whatever it took to not only obtain her degree, but enjoy it. I saw her husband and kids cheering her on not only today during the ceremony, but by putting dinners on and helping with homework so mom could be at class. When thinking of all that, how could I not cry? Way to go, Celeste!!!
