Yeah!! New Bowen Baby!!!

11 Week Ultrasound6 Week Ultrasound

We are so excited!! There will be another addition to the Bowen family around the middle of December. I have been pretty sick and it probably will continue for another couple of weeks (at least that is how it was with Paris & Marshall). I guess on one hand I am lucky that I don't throw up a ton, but I just feel nauseous about 99% of the time. The only good thing is hopefully that means that things are going OK. I have been so tired. I don't remember being this tired with the other 2, but as my friend told me, I am getting older. I am pretty nervous about adding a 3rd little one to the family. I have heard that the 3rd can be the hardest since you no longer have a hand for each kid.

Casey thinks that it is a boy (he is 2 for 2 so far). Paris thinks it is a girl (just like her). I have no idea (as usual). We just hope for a happy healthy baby. Here we go again on this crazy road we call life.

**Update** I really did get the stomach flu twice. I think I just got even more sick than I would normally have. The hard part was trying to not get sick when cleaning up after Marshall since I already was on the edge.

We have discussed the possibility of waiting to find out the sex of the baby until it is born. Since we already have one of each it is possible. I don't know if I could handle waiting though. I like to know what is going to happen. I guess that has to do with my control issues. =) So I guess we will keep talking and wait and see. It most likely will come down to going to the ultrasound and making a decision there. We still have a little while to decide.

Just a reminder... I had been told that you need to scan ultrasound pictures into the computer because over time the paper and ink will fade. I completely forgot and pulled out the ultrasound of Paris and it had faded quite a bit. So I made sure to scan in all the ultrasound pictures I had. If you haven't had a chance, now is a great reminder to save the pictures forever.
