Finding Out the Sex

So M and I are in a debate about finding out what the sex of this baby is. With Rex we decided it was better to find out since we only had three months to plan for everything. With this one I really want it to be a surprise. M wants to find out.


I want a surprise because with Rex everything worked out find even though he came out a boy instead of a girl like they said. I see no reason to find out what we are having. We have almost all the baby stuff we need, except for a new stroller and a car seat. I don't see a need to know and think that keeping it for a surprise (as long as the baby cooperates with us) will just add to the birth experience. I remember the surprise of Rex being a boy and how fun it was to find out when he came out. It was also fun in that case because he was born the day before April Fools day and no one wanted to believe that we were telling the truth.


M doesn't really have a reason for finding out. He just wants to know. I know that it will be some extra work to get both our girl and boy baby clothes cleaned and folded and ready to go. (Yes we have both already. We didn't get rid of everything that was bought for Rex when we thought we were having a girl). But still how much work is it really to wash and fold maybe two loads of laundry? 


What are your thoughts? Did you wait and be surprised or did you have to find out? Why did you choose what you chose? Have any advice one way or the other? Help us figure out this debate because neither one of us is backing down on our sides.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
