Chuck: Do you remember when we talked about Jesus at Christmastime? Who is Jesus' dad?
Leland: His daddy was Joseph and his mommy was Mary.
Chuck: Yes, Joseph was his adopted daddy here on earth, but his real daddy is Heavenly Father. We all lived with Heavenly Father before we were born and then we came to earth to live with our family. That means Jesus is our brother. You have other brothers and sisters that still live with Heavenly Father that will one day come and live with us.
Leland: (a look of awe on her face)
Chuck: Where do the little babies grow before they are born?
Leland: In their mommy's bellies.
Chuck: Well, your mommy has another baby in her belly!
Leland: My Brother!?!?!
Ashley: Well, it could be a brother or a sister
Leland: I already have a sister, now I need a brother.
Ashley: Well, we don't know if it is a boy or a girl. You might get more than one sister. I have 2 sisters and daddy has 5 sisters.
Leland: No, this baby is a brother. Then after he is born, another baby will come into your belly and it will be another brother, cause I need 2.
Ashley: Whoa, you're getting way ahead of yourself.
We will have to wait until July 4th to see if it is a brother or sister. Yes, we prefer to wait until our baby is born for the biggest and best surprise one can experience.
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you guys. Welcome to the wonderful world of having three kids and where you are officially outnumbered. I'm with Leland...I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a boy. When are you guys ever going to come back to Cali for a visit?
ReplyDeleteCongrats, looks like we better get busy before the Gates pass us up... especially with all those boysl
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like the best surprise- but I think it is WAY funny that Leland is so insistent to find out... or I guess insistent that it is a boy. That is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I got chills just reading this...Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha. I'm so glad you posted about it now. I was afraid I might accidentally say something. :) That conversation is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAwe, Congrats you guys! I don't know how you do it, I can't stand not knowing!!!
ReplyDeleteyahoo! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAh! Congratulations, we are so happy for you guys! Can't wait to hear if it's a boy or girl.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Too bad I'm not available at 2am this time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I think it's hilarious how opinionated kids get on what the gender will be. What's even funnier is how often they are right!
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know how you can wait to find out, though!
Congratulations you guys, I hope you have a good pregnancy and we can't wait to see pictures of the new one this summer!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun news! CONGRATS! Can't wait to see if Leland is right. I hope you are feeling well.
ReplyDeleteCOngratulations! How cute it is that Leland wants 2 brothers in the future! :)
ReplyDeleteWow... I am touched and amazed by all of the readers coming out of the woodwork. Thanks for your "readership".
ReplyDeleteWell I can't wait that long!!! Do you think the doctors' office will tell me?! I'm so impressed that you guys can wait.
ReplyDeleteSince we have the same doctor and you have the same first name as my wife, you might be able to trick them. Of course, that would be awesome for us because we could pay off my student loans after suing them for sharing confidential medical records. Win, win all around!
