Can You Guess?

Could it be that Heavenly Father is playing a strange joke on us?! He is a very clever guy! :)
Luke, the boys and I got to see the baby tonight after work...and discover if we are adding a crazy little girl to the pack---or another stinky boy.
Can you tell from the pictures?
I am popping more Tums just thinking about the upcoming arrival! :)

It appears that Heavenly Father does answer prayers---(and a lot of people's prayers from what I understand!)
Tubbs is thrilled and has been planning on a girl from the beginning. Bubba on the other hand gave a loud gasp and sigh when he heard the news. (We'll have to work on that over the next 5 months)
We got a DVD of the ultrasound so I am excited to watch it all over again. She was moving and kicking all over the place! (....Could of been the large rice krispy treat I ate on my way home from work)! The technician kept getting some good shots of her booty because she was kicking and flipping all over the place! Thankfully we only got one or 2 pictures of that for posterity.
We didn't know if it was a boy or girl for about 10 minutes when she finally typed it up on the ultrasound screen. Luke squeezed my hand and I didn't know if I should laugh or scream. I am still in shock, even though Luke has assured me over the past few weeks that he thought it was a girl. Luke has assured me that he is very excited...he just hopes his little girl looks nothing like him---with his head and broad shoulders. I think he referenced "Princess Fiona" in there somewhere.
I have to agree---I hope she isn't built like a wrestler either. I'll be sure to work that into my prayers over the coming months! :)

Yeah! It's good to have a little variety :) I'm sure you'll have fun watching Luke with his little girl too, after two big boys (at least I enjoy Nick with my girls since he has all brothers). I'm happy and excited for you and your family.

How fun for your family! And if you want her to be a little more petite than the boys, convince them that if she's big, she might be able to beat them at wrestling. Then they will pray that she's small, and it seems that childrens' prayers are ALWAYS answered :D

Congratulations!!!

That is so great, congratulations. What a change that will bring to your house...a good change. Your boys will love and spoil her!!

I'm so excited for you! I worried about the same thing when I was pregnant with Hannah. I didn't want my little girl to have all my husband’s not so good traits, that when she actually came out I cried and said,No,she looks like you, to my husband. I blame my response on the drugs. Even though Hannah looks a lot like her daddy, she's still so stinkin' cute. I’m sure your daughter will be perfect, even cutter than you can imagine.

Congratulations! I am happy for you guys, every daddy needs a little girl. Tim has 4 of them, so he has been extra blessed.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
