Oh, where do I begin?!?!

Despite my best efforts, my blogging has once again taken a hiatus. While logic would say I should just go back to the last picture I posted and start there. But what's the fun in being logical??

So I'll just start where I start ;-)

Last Thursday I invited a bunch of our friends over. It was a random Thursday night, and Neal was a great sport and never once asked why we had 10+ people over at our house on a school night to have pizza. Our friends were in on the secret though, I had been able to take a peek at the baby in my belly during a regular doctor's appointment on Tuesday and knew the gender! Neal and the girls weren't with me because our big ultrasound isn't until tomorrow (Thursday). After dinner, everyone gathers in the kitchen and I slip out into the garage. Neal still isn't asking any questions. Then I sent this box in front of him. On the top is says Boy?Girl?

"Wait?! You know?" He just now realizes that this isn't random pizza night at the Kerner's ;-)

We were going to have people write guesses on the top of the box as to whether it was a boy or girl, but all the kiddos at the house couldn't wait for that kind of suspense.

Its a.... 

BABY GIRL!!! Baby girl #3, who is no closer to having a name than before we knew the gender, is set to arrive around May 9th!! Ella and Aubrey are very excited. Ella's first comment was "Oh good, now we don't have to buy boy clothes and boy toys!"

Suddenly we hear this sobbing, hysterical sobbing. Over in the corner, our nephew Quin is crying crocodile tears. All we can here is "I want a boy!!"" He is slightly outnumbered around here, his only boy cousin lives all the way across the ocean in Lebanon and his mommy had been telling him maybe Auntie M would have a boy for him to play with. Heart-broken... we couldn't help but laugh just a little ;-) It was very sweet. But after momma comforted him for a few minutes, we realized he didn't care it was a girl. He wanted a BALLOON, not a BOY!! Well, we can fix that =)

 Needless to say, our ultrasound tomorrow will be a little less climactic than originally anticipated, but it was a fun surprise to throw. Hopefully we will get a picture of her face tomorrow and I'll try to post it before she is born ;-)
