Boy or Girl?

This seems to be the million dollar question these days and trust me I can't wait to find out myself. Because I will be 20 weeks on March 25th I'm going to BEG Dr. B if I have to.....I really want to find out what we're having on Lance's birthday. I just think that would be the best birthday present in the world!

If its a girl, I'll start preparing myself immediately. You know, for all the drama! I think that begins the moment they enter the world, right? I know thats the way it was with all my sisters, for sure. They're still a dramatic bunch (myself included). I'd like to think that I hate drama. But I'll have to admit that it follows me. I'm a drama magnet. The drama in my life usually has nothing to do with me but it's there so I deal with it rather than ignore it. I know all of this to be true so Lord, help us if we have a little girl. On the other side of that.....doesn't every man need a little girl to humble him?

Boys seem to be so much easier.....less drama, less pampering, less tears. Boys are rough and tough and can take the trash out too! We've said that if we could just order something from God we'd order a boy for a number of reasons. There is not one boy decendent of Lance's Grandpa Garvin. Every Garvin family function Uncle Ray asks, "When are you gonna have us a Garvin boy?" Lance is a little late getting started on having children so most of the other cousins are done with having babies. I think they should ALL try again and again until they have a boy to carry on that Garvin name. I'd like to go ahead and get that Garvin boy out of the way. The next reason is that we've always thought that we'd like to have one boy and one girl. Thinking about things later in life I'd like to have a big brother to protect his little sister from the other stinking boys when Dad can't be around.

Lance is CONVINCED that whether its a boy or a girl he's gonna have a new fishing partner, a hunting buddy and a sports fanatic. He seems to think that they'll be able to hold a fishing pole by six months and be able to shoot a gun by 3. Of course, you know my response to that is YEAH RIGHT! Don't you even think about letting my child get close to a gun at 3! No matter what we both hope that this child is born with Lance's athletic ability because if "it" gets mine, oh, you can forget sports. I definitely hope for Lance's pretty blue eyes. I'm not sure yet what I hope this child gets from me. I guess that still depends on the answer to the million dollar question.

Until next time.......
