I never would have guessed!

Growing up I have fond memories of watching My Three Sons with my Grandma, and my mom for that matter. It was one of their favorites, and I thought it was great. It was always full of good lessons, good and fun parenting and some great times with brothers.
Now, being that I come from a family that heavily favored the female I never would have guessed while I was growing up that I would end up with a family of boys!
BUT
As it turns out, I maybe should have started to guess when I married my husband. In the last three generations of his family they will now 12 BOYS and only 1 girl. So yes, to keep the trend going, she will get to keep her title of the "the only girl in the family"! We have now had 4 ultrasounds, and as much as I would have loved to see a little girl, there is no denying that we are having ANOTHER BOY folks!!!
I will soon be able to start conversations with those three words:
My Three Sons...
My Three Sons.....Aack!!
We are completely thrilled, and have already decided on a name that we both love; I just hope I am ready to handle what three boys will throw our way! Part of it makes me terrified, and part of it makes me SO excited that they can have their own little force of friends that will love to do all the little boy things as they grow up together all around the world.

So introducing Bebek #3
What a handsome little guy!

And yes, the money shot....
Although they don't point it out and write "boy" on it here, I think it is pretty apparent.
We love our little guy so much already, and by all accounts things are
going great and he is looking healthy so far.
And although we do like a certain name, we will keep you all guessing and not post it on the blog until things are final. (just incase)
So stay tuned!!

I rectify, there was also Tatie Georgette as girl in the family. Luckily, these boys managed to find great women (like you!) to make me fell less alone! And I think you are both perfect parents to have boys!

Congratulations!

My Three Sons is also one of my favorite shows! Strange how that works out.

Be ready for some serious rough housing. Several times I week I tell Dave "I'm not going to survive them." and then fortunately I do.
