So someone asks me almost everyday if I want a boy this time. I have to say, I really don't care. We didn't decide to have another to try for a boy. I think Dave and I would both be just fine with 3 daughters. And we are both pretty sure that 3 is enough for us no matter what. We won't make that decision for sure until a little later down the road but we are fairly confident that we are done after this baby, boy or girl. That being said, would I like a boy? Hmmm, a boy would be an exciting new adventure! I know Dave would love it and would like to have someone that can carry on the Rinaldi name. We would have to get all new clothes and toys (I like to shop, so not a bad thing) since everything we have is pink! It would be a whole new ballgame. But we would be happy if we have another little girl, too. We already have everything. We know what to expect with girls. We are used to emotion driven little girls! And if we have a boy now he will be surrounded by barbies and princess music all the time. Not that that matters, he will be man enough to wear pink and nail polish I am sure. The girls are both saying it is a boy. Emma was right last time, when I thought for sure we were having a boy. They both want a brother, for now. We will see if they still feel that way when and if he is a boy and starts blowing up their barbies!

Sonogram day!













We had our sonogram yesterday and it was very exciting. We took both girls with us and they were thrilled to see baby Trey on the big screen. We went to Prenatal Imaging Center and it was a very cool place. They had two huge screens to watch on. We could have fit all our friends and family in there! Em and Sam both got 'I'm a Big Sister' bracelets. Sammi is still insisting that she has a baby in her belly, too. She says she is having a girl, she is going to name Leah. She said "put your hand on my belly and feel her kick". Too cute. The sonographer said, "the butt is really cute to look at but since you don't want to know the gender we will stay away from there." Then Emma kept saying "look at the butt, look at the butt!" She wants to know so bad she can't stand it! She told me yesterday morning "I might be able to figure it out at the sonogram" I said, "well, don't tell me if you do." Em"I am going to." That is why she can never know any secrets! I think it made it more real for them to see baby's face and little feet. But they were most fascinated with the gel they put on my belly. We still don't know if we are having a boy or girl but I use he to refer to Trey since I am a she. Trey has his feet tucked in one side of my uterus and his face hidden in the other! We saw him stick his finger in his ear. We got some very cool pictures and a video of the entire exam. Our due date looks to be right on so I imagine we will meet this baby in the first two weeks of September. I will add pictures later today.

We hit a growth spurt this month! Next week we go for our sonogram and I will have pictures of Trey to post! Yay! It will be fun to see the girls reaction to seeing the baby.

We have been reading baby name books all week with no success. We haven't even found any we like yet to make a list. Oh well, legally we have what, 6 months after baby is born to name him/her? We have plenty of time.
