This is gonna be quick and dirty, since I'm out of time this morning. Today is blog hop day and it's dedicated to my youngest monster.
Josh. You were 100% a suprise and at first not a happy one. Maybe that's not nice but it's true. Your brother was only 8 months old when we found out about you and I really couldn't see past the scariness of having two kids only 16 months apart.
Then the excitement came, along with the knowledge that things always work out. I started hoping for my long-awaited girl. The ultrasound tech even gave me hope but in the end she couldn't get a good enough shot of your goods to tell me for sure.
I didn't find out you were a boy until you were born and for a split second my heart dropped. Again, not nice but it's the truth. And then came the love. I know boys. I knew I had this one in the bag.
And you would have made a horrible girl. You are a little boy through and through. I couldn't imagine you any other way, with your weekly fat lips, constant scrapes on your knees, and crazy yell.
I'm proud to tell people I'm a mother to all boys. It feels like I'm in a special club. When I think about you and your brothers I just can't imagine any other dynamic for our little family. You guys are rough and tumble and just love each other so much.
So Josh, thank you for being the best suprise and thank you for being you.

I love our surprises! And your Joshy is just too cute! http://andisfamilyblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-la-katie.html
Awww what a great post! My gram always said there are no suprises just unexpected gifts :) I had 6 of those!!! Devony was the only "planned" baby
It's not nice but true that I sometimes wish I had 4 boys and not 2 boys 2 girls. I'm soooo not looking forward to puberty with girls. DH and I are probably going to need personalized barstools at the neighborhood bar.
