Greg Servetas (my OB/GYN) said the odds of us having four boys in a row was like one in twelve and that he thought for sure it would be a girl this time. In the same breath, Dr. Servetas said he thinks my body rejects the female chromosome making it impossible for me to have a girl.
Dad Henrichsen said he thought it was a girl unless Anne Marie stepped out of line and stole ours (since she had two boys and a girl and didn't follow the Henrichsen rule of having three boys and then a girl.)
Mom Stout said if she had to choose between us having a girl or Nate and Devanie having a boy, she hoped Nate got the boy.
The Henrichsen rule says our next baby should be a girl. The Stout rule says we should have had a girl by now.
And what did the ultrasound say? Looks like I will be the lone woman in our household for a very long time. Come September 30th I will be outnumbered, 5 to 1. And how does the family feel about it? Mark, Noah and Denver took the news just fine. Denver seems to be in a little state of denial, since every time you ask him what we're having he still says a girl. But that's to be expected of a 2 year old. The look of disbelief and disappointment on Hunter's face was painfully hard to swallow, but he seems to have recovered just fine and I'm sure will be thrilled as soon as our kitchen table is filled to capacity. I must admit, I cried, just a wee bit. I was so hopeful it was a girl. But, nevermind it all. . . we're having a boy and boys don't have PMS or mood swings or care about designer clothes or plan expensive weddings and with all of that in mind--four boys sounds really good to me.
