And the answer is ...

Well, I just got back from the appt with the geneticist and we're having another boy. Leigh (my sister-in-law) was right ... the Page's don't make girls. I think this is great. While I would have loved to have a little girl (they have much cuter clothes and raising a girl would just be a blast) I absolutely LOVE raising Garrett and know that I will this one as well. Honestly, I wasn't sure what I was having and really didn't care - I just wanted the baby to be healthy and alive and that is what I have and I am so thankful and know how blessed I am. Now for names ... naming boys is just harder than girls ...

Garrett and I went to Atlanta this past weekend for Amy's baby shower and stayed with mom and dad. We had a good time. I ended up staying 'till sunday for a couple of reasons - one mom really didn't want us to go, I really didn't want to either and lastly I knew KP had to study and was working on the house with Brian and I didn't want to be anywhere near that. The shower was so nice and they got a lot of stuff which they really needed (she didn't have anything for the baby and is due in 8 weeks). Amy is so sweet and I am just so happy for her and brother - they are such a great couple. They will also make good parents.

The house ... Brian (our self-adopted memeber of the family) drove over on Saturday morning (from Atl) and helped KP fix the house. THey were able to do it for under 20 dollars in materials and a little over an hour's worth of work -- these other guys wanted 1600 for the job. It makes me sad to realize that people want to capitolize on other's hardships like that. Now we get to refinish the ceiling in the kitchen (damage from the leak) and we are cool. I am just so thankful that this was easily fixed and have said a prayer of thanksgiving many times over this.

KP is taking that really difficult test as I type. He is so very nervous - I just hate that. He isn't a good test taker and makes it worse worrying like he does. I am praying for peace for him and that he does well and is able to give them the knowledge he has inside of him. It will work out for the best - I just hope he passes it so he doesn't beat himself up and stress harder next time.

That's about the size of things over here. Life is good and I am enjoying and thankful for every minute of the ride.
