It's a Girl!

Okay okay. Guilt has caused me to write this post. Life has been busy in a good kind of way. Ben works a lot, but enjoys his job. I'm a little overwhelmed thinking that I'll have a 3rd baby in April. We did the ultrasound last week and found out that we are having a girl. I'm excited for Kate to have a "best friend". I still call Kate "baby Kate" and think that I still will after there is another baby in the house. She is so adorable and girly. I can't believe how girly she is. She already is picky about what outfits I put on her. She usually just wants to wear colorful pjs or Carson's underwear (maybe she's jealous?). Carson likes to force Kate to play with him and gets frustrated when Kate does not understand his commands. Overall, they play very well together. If Kate is not around, Carson will ask, "where's my Kate?" Carson cracks me up with the things he says and how he says them. He doesn't pronounce his ls and rs and few others. I try to correct him which is also funny. Lately, we've been working on need. He says meed. Now when he "needs" something he say's "mom, I n- n- meed that". He also puts words in Kate's mouth, like, "Kate says she's hungry". Then usually recommends something like candy or chocolate to share with her. Or "Kate needs to go outside". Meaning I need to have someone to play with in my playhouse outside. I also say that Carson has to be a good/happy boy to receive privileges, so if he does not get something that he wants he cries and through his tears, says "but mom, I want to be happy!". It makes me laugh.

We are visiting the family in January. We are excited and hope to see as many friends and family as possible. Yay!
