This weekend we should meet our fourth baby! Crazy to think that the baby is finally ready to come out and meet the world. Will it be a boy? Will it be a girl? Will it have dark hair? Blue eyes? Its beyond exciting to imagine holding our little bundle so soon. These last couple weeks, the boy vs girl debate has kinda taken the back burner. The end of pregnancy is no walk in the park and at this point, boy or girl, I just want the baby to come out! I do still pray that God blesses us with a beautiful little girl. Although another beautiful little boy will be awesome too. Either way, a speedy delivery and a healthy baby is all we really care about.

I’m not sure the boys are fully prepared for life with the new baby. Everyone in the house seems to be feeling the pressure building. We’ve had more tears and cling on children than usual around here. Just wait until the baby comes, I’m thinking, then they’ll really see what it’s like when mommy is totally exhausted and pre-occupied with nursing, burping and newborn diapers. (I’m sewing burp cloths like crazy!) I know that in-spite of the challenges, everyone in the house will fall in love with the little bundle right away. Especially me.

Get ready world! The next time I write I’ll be introducing you to the newest Douthit bundle of joy! By the way, if it is a boy, I can’t guarantee he will have a name because we simply can’t agree on one….
