Ok so any guesses on the gender of our baby to be?

Well I'm betting most of you guessed wrong...
We are having a BOY!
We are really excited and grateful to know that he is healthy and growing the way he should. I can't lie, we really were thinking we'd get a girl, every name we came up with was a girl name, but the two boys we have now are so darn cute there is no way we wouldn't take another one. Although, and I think it is just me but when the ultrasound tech was showing us his "out door plumbing" as she called it, I couldn't tell what she was pointing to. Our other two boys were very unmistakable... but this little "guy" had his hand between his legs and made it tricky to see (which the ultrasound tech laughed and said was a defiant boy thing to do). So we will continue to believe the expert opinion of our ultrasound technician until the day comes that she can be proven otherwise.
We came home and told the boys that they were going to have a baby brother, Carson's first response was, "no I wanted a sister." He then said "it's not exciting to have another brother, it's exciting to have another sister." Wyatt's response was a rather uncaring "huh," (little does he know). After talking to them for a while Carson came around and finaly said, "mom, I change my mind, a brother will be exciting."
Brady says that it is my genes that led to our 3rd boy (my mom had 4 girls before she got a boy, my sister will be the same way, depending on the order her twins come out). But I kept telling him that it is the man that carries that stuff when babies are made... he just shakes his head.
I guess it could be my fault a little too (not that 3 boys are a fault) but I hate being pregnant and this time around with 2 boys to chase after I kept telling Brady that if it was a girl then we just might be done having babies. So I guess Heavenly Father would like us to have more children in the future... far off future...

HeHeHe...you sound like us a few years ago. We were certain that our third son was a girl.(the pregnancy was completely different) My then 2 year old(Hunter) was so sad that the baby was a boy. It took him a while to come around. We had also decided that if the third one was a girl we were done having kids and then decided that we maybe were suppose to have another one when we found out it was another boy. Although I wanted a girl I am super happy and glad that I have boys. I hear the stories and remember our household full of girls and am glad that I don't deal with the drama that comes with girls.
I am actually taking a human development class this semester and just read the chapter on conception and actually had to watch a video on how the sex is determined. It was his "Y" chromosome that determined the boy but it was your egg that decided to let the "Y" one in. So, it is actually both of your faults.;)
Anyway, good luck and welcome to the club.
