Patience

Patience.....where do I begin with it. Ummm....I have none....I have some, a little but not alot???? 


In a previous post,  I mentioned that we are expecting another little one to add to our team of boys. We have 3 boys already, and a little girl sure would be nice, however, a boy would suit me just fine as well, since I know all about little boys!!!  


Insert Patience here<><><> I do not get my anatomy sonogram until March 2nd. On this date, I will be 20 weeks!!  YIKES!!!!!!  I am used to having a sonogram done around 16-17 weeks, so why is the extra 3-4 weeks going to make me go insane?!!? I want to know what we are having so bad. Secretly, I think it's because I am expecting a boy, hoping for a boy, planning on a boy, and I want to be surprised when they say "oh, It's a girl!!!!!!!" Buuuuuuut, I am pretty certain that we will be able to see the little boy part and I will have another boy. 


I know, it sounds so selfish to sit and ponder over a boy or a girl, I just really, in the end want a healthy baby. Boy or girl, I will take it!!! My 3 boys all want a sister, my Hubby is BOY all the way!!!  


Maybe I don't have any patience because I know that this is my last baby. EVER. And that the anticipation to see if I will ever be a mother to a little girl is going to get the best of me?!?! 


Or maybe it's because we are 2000 miles away from all of our "baby boy" items that we have left from Wrangler and if I need to make a trip to Ks to get them I want to do it before I'm as big as a whale and a 27 hour car ride will be so uncomfortable. 


Or maybe it's because if we are having a girl, I am going to have plenty of time to convince my dear husband that she will have him wrapped around her little finger just like daddy's girls do...just like I have my dad. 


I am working on the patience thing. Not only with the baby, but with other areas of our life as well. Being so far away from everyone I know is definitely a work in progress, but patience also means "good things come to those who wait".....so, I know that this is only temporary and someday we will be back in the land of Oz with all of our friends and family. 


Keep Calm and Carry On!!
