Beanie Baby #3....

We had our big ultrasound today. The whole family came and we all had high hopes for a BOY. In fact, we only have BOY names picked out, so it has to be a BOY. Right? We were all wrong - It's a GIRL! That makes three girls for us. We all left feeling very blessed to be having another healthy baby. But once in the car both David and I admitted to being a little dissapointed. In fact, I haven't been able to say "it's a girl" yet without shedding a few tears. And Carmen is VERY dissapointed! She wanted a brother so badly.
So, now we have to put on our thinking caps for some girl names. We've had two boy names picked out since I was pregnant with Carmen. Hopefully we'll get to use one of them someday. So, we are taking girl name suggestions from everyone!
I really don't want to sound ungrateful....I really do feel so blessed to be a mother and love all my children. What a privelage it is to be part of our Heavenly Father's plan and be able to bring His children to earth. I can think of no greater calling than that of a mother.

congrats on you news!!! you don't sound ungrateful at all. If it matters we will probably have all boys and i won't get a little ballerina! oh and the bass pro shop, maybe we should double because i am sure travis wouldn't mind going again. better yet let's have them go together and take the kids and we go shopping!

I cried at my ultrosound when I found out I was having a girl. I wanted a boy so bad. Now I'm so glad and couldn't imagine it any other way. No ungratitude for being disapointed!

We thought for sure we were having a boy, but heavenly father knows what we need, even if we dont see it. Your girls are so cute, so having another will just make them all cuter.

Hmmm Kristin is always a good name. :) hehe. Congrats. I was sad when they said boy for Blake... I think its only natural to feel that way! :)

Congrats on having a girl. You'll get your boy someday. Jeff was also disappointed---since he has a theory on who has what babies in the Bean family. You guys were supposed to have 2 boys next, and we would have 2 girls next. I told him his theory was wacky. Hope you're feeling well.

Congratulations!!! I've been wondering what the ultrasound would say. Little girls are so wonderful!!

Did I not tell you that the Teerlink genes are cursed with single gender families???? If we get pregnant soon we'll just swap because I can just count on 3 boys in a row.
