Yeah, so I really tried not to bawl during my ultrasound when I saw a suspicious looking "turtle" on the screen and the technician wrote "uh-oh" on the screen. I am still getting over the disappointment but when I think about my 3 little boys playing football with their daddy it fades away. Anyway, now we are in baby prep mode (again) and making our nice short list of baby things to buy which, BTW, actually includes cloth diapers this time. I know I am nuts, but I spend $75 a month on diapers and I just cant do it anymore! We are also discussing names and I am afraid this baby might leave the hospital known as "Baby Boy shumaker," "#4" or "unnamed." Help me out here guys!
Some unrelated happy news is that my parents are passing on their van to us for the winter so I will have a car to drive and a way to get places during the day! I am SOOOOO excited. Look out, a possy of Shumakers is coming your way!
P.S. You know, I really hoped Ava had some spiritual intuition when she kept talking about her little sister. I had really only been thinking about girl names and I had even started gathering girl clothes; but alas, I guess we cant always control these things. However, if I had to pick who is in control, I wouldn't be picking myself. So its all good, right?
I should have gotten a clue last Sunday though when I was sitting in Young Womens and as I was looking around the room I got this sudden feeling. I cant even describe what it felt like, but it was powerful enough to make me cry and realize that I wasn't prepared to find out that I was having a boy (if that is what the baby happened to be) and that a room full of girls was not in my future. Still, I fought it and tried to ignore the feeling...but it didnt change anything!
Merry Christmas 2025

I'm sorry you were disappointed. Boys are wonderful though! And you have such cute boys. I am excited for you guys!
You should name him something starting with a "D" because you already have an A, B, & C :)
I love little boys! One girl, three boys, and if you have one more after this one, you'll be just like Julie. :)
The lady who waxed my legs said that boys are WAY easier than girls, hands down. I don't know if that helps, maybe not now. But when they hit the teenage years you might be thanking your lucky stars! ;)
What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would still smell as sweet... You'll find the perfect name for this sweet little boy that couldn't wait to come to your family! Love you!
I'm sorry you really had your heart set on a girl! I'm afraid of having a girl. I don't do well with drama!
