Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice...?

Not at this house!! We had our 19 week checkup today and in addition to finding out that the babies are healthy and thriving we also found out they are both 100% B-O-Y.

Baby B waving:
Baby A:
Baby A had a slightly enlarged kidney which they will keep an eye on but are confident that it should take care of itself.

Of course we couldn't wait to tell the big brothers!!

We decorated the nursery in blue streamers and balloons and then let them in to check it out.

The general consensus is that girls are yuck and they only wanted brothers anyway, so they were more than happy with the news that two more boys would be joining the posse.
We got to tell the Smiths in person and Skyped the Londoners and Wacoans to share the news.
While I realize this means that wrestle mania will continue to be a regular event in my living room for years to come and "sorry mom" accompanied by broken objects will no doubt destroy any remaining possessions I own, I couldn't be happier about it!!! We are thrilled with our four of a kind and rejoicing over the blessings of boys.

Here I am at 19 weeks.

OMG!!!! I have literally been checking this computer ALL day to see this post. I am so excited for you and your family. I just knew you were going to say it was 1 boy and 1 girl. I can not begin to imagine having 4 boys plus my husband growing up in my house. LOL! But on the other hand you will ALWAYS be the Queen =)
What a wonderful blessing. From what I hear boys really love their mommas. So sounds like you better get ready.
Congrats!

I couldn't decided where to respond, so I chose the blog as the winner. CP - I somehow "knew" they were boys, but I still am trying to imagine sweet precious you living with 5 guys. You guys should start up a Five Guys Burgers & Fries store. :-) But, this world needs more godly men, and I can't imagine a better mother to raise up 4 godly-fearing men. So pumped about all the blue that will continue. You remember that Shannon is also a boy name, right?

La Casa Chavez said...

WOW! I assure you I had to comment on this one. 4 boys?! Wonder how sick you will get of hearing that over and over. Shannon was oh so right, you will raise good God-fearing boys and the world does need more of those. You are indeed the Queen in your home for a long time. Congratulations, Caryn. 4 boys!!

I'm so stinking excited for you, I can hardly stand it! What a blessing to have a quiver full of little arrows! Godly little arrows to launch out into a hurting world that needs godly men. You are such an amazing mother.

Love you, friend. Congrats!

You deserve a big beautiful crown because you are definitely the QUEEN of your house!!! That completes our soccer/football/etc team in our group. I can see the headlines for Building Block in a few years, "Caryn Smith, Mother of 4 God-fearing young men and how to do exactly what she did!!" Can't wait to meet this two little boys!

bbbbbbbbblllllllllllluuuuuuuueeeeeee all the way around, baby! I can't believe it, but I could not agree more with SM's comment about you raising four incredible men of integrity. Seriously, that is the truth!!!

What a blessing that the Lord has given you four children. I think that's amazing in itself.

Love you to pieces and just can't stand the wait!! hugs!!!!
