It’s just meant to be.

I hope you all had a GREAT Thanksgiving! I know we enjoyed our time with family. 

These two… 

…well…they are VERY thankful. 

For they are going to be getting a new BABY BROTHER

BOYS BOYS BOYS for this mama! Holy CRAZINESS…someone save me from all the penis’s! LOL. 

I know many of you will be disappointed because you were REALLY hoping for a baby girl (MIL included), but HONESTLY…I just adore my boys and I know that this is God’s plan for me. It’s just meant to be. 

It’s not to say that there will NEVER be a girl in our future. Who knows…maybe one day there will be a number 4. But, for now…House of Rose is pretty darn content with having 3 beautiful boys to love on! And how cute will they be together, right? 

I know a bunch of you were curious as to how I found out so early and here is the answer. I had the nuchal translucency test done, which is a test that helps assess your baby’s risk of having Down syndrome (DS) and some other chromosomal abnormalities as well as major congenital heart problems. I always opt to have the test. Not that it would change anything. But, I’m TYPE A…remember? I like to plan. 

The test is done between 11 and 13 weeks by ultrasound. I had it done with Bents and we could not see the “boy parts” when we looked. However, when we looked “down there” during this ultrasound…

I think you can see why it was easy to tell the gender. :) I actually knew almost immediately when I saw this shot.

We are very EXCITED to be adding a THIRD boy to our family! We will continue to pray that he is just as healthy and cute as our first two!

Congrats on baby boy #3!! I know he will be just as cute as the first two :) My dr office never even offered that test… just the quad screen. I’ll find out in 2 weeks if my son will have a brother or sister! I can’t wait to follow your progress!

From one mom of three boys to another CONGRATS! I promise there will never be a dull moment in your household! :) And be ready for everyone to start asking if you are going to try for a #4/a girl. :P ;)

Congrats on baby boy #3!! I’ve always wanted 3 boys so I’m actually a little jealous. He definitely wasn’t shy with his “parts” was he? Haha.

Congrats! People always ask me if I want a girl and as much as I would have loved one, we are done having kids and I love my boys. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Congrats again. Can’t wait to hear what his name will be. I love the names your kids have.
