It's a...

Boy? Girl? What is the WORLD ARE WE HAVING?????

Our first ultrasound on December 5, they told us we were having a BOY...
We were so excited. Andrew John Gough, how cute! Andrew and the boys were thrilled at the idea of outnumbering the girls forever. I was good because boys are so darn easy and fun-- plus, we've already got lots of fun boy clothes and toys!

But then, January 5, they said that is could possibly be a GIRL...
Okay... that's exciting too. Boy, girl, boy, girl... equal numbers. That would be fun. Plus, Emmaline was my easiest baby by far, and we've got SO MANY adorable clothes for a girl. The name would be perfect: Lillian Cherie Gough (Lily, after Great Grandma Gough and Cherie after my mom!) We started thinking pink...

So, which is it?!?!?!? It's been killing me. I mean, how do these women who wait to find out really bond with the baby if they don't even know what it is?! Don't get me wrong. I totaslly admire the patience of these women-- but I guess I just got too fed up waiting in the patience line in heaven and ducked out, because that is one virtue that I just don't have ANY of!

SO- today I went in for another ultrasound and some other testing and we finally found out. The perinatologist was pretty much 100% sure this time.

WHAT DO YOU THINK??? Is it a boy or a girl?

Okay, I'm guessing girl (or maybe wishing it). It would be so fun for Emmaline to have a sister! But then again, boys are great too...

Tif Sweeney said...

First of all, I had no idea you were expecting again! Before I go any further, that deserves a great big CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! How exciting!!! What's your due date?

Secondly, I'm voting boy!!

Can't wait to see you next week!!

DeAnne said...

Wow! Congrats! When are you due? I hope Emmaline gets a sister, so I'll vote girl. Boys are so fun, too, though. You seem happy either way. We wish you the best!

Congratulations you guys! We're so happy for you guys. I'm going to guess boy. I almost said girl but I'm going to go with boy. Can't wait to hear. Love you guys!

Becca said...

I want to say a girl! I can't wait to find out!

Jenn Hansen said...

I'm going to guess girl. What is funny is that Tyson and I have been planning on naming our little girl Lily.

Congrats girly! I think I heard a rumor you were pregnant, so I'm delighted to hear it confirmed. I'm one of those who waited to find out-- the first two times. I couldn't wait to find out with Roman and I think I'll be the same way should I find myself in the family way again ;).

As it is, I'm guessing girl.

Janae Squires said...

I didn't know either!!! CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you and your family!!! I am guessing a boy! Can't wait to hear! When are you due?

Congratulations!! I thought you might be expecting after I saw you come out of the bathroom at church one Sunday. I told Gage I think Sister Gough has morning sickness! As time went on I waited for an announcement but then I decided you weren't because you don't look pregnant at all! I can't believe you can hide it until over 20 weeks!

I will say you are having a little girl. Pink is always fun! If it is a little girl she will be so beautiful just like her mommy and sister.

GIRL!!!! Us Evenhuis' Love Girls!

I'm going to take a stab at it and guess **BOY**. It'd be fun if it was a girl too though and it evened things out!

How exciting for you guys!! You must be thrilled. I can't wait to find out more!

Maura said...

I feel like everyone I know is expecting a girl (including my sis), so I am going say...little girl.

Rachel and Nathan Fisher said...

I can't believe that you haven't updated and told everyone what you are having ... rude!!!
