It's a...

IT'S A BOY! Yes, it's true. The verdict is out and the newest member of Team Larsen will be a boy. Everyone handled the news as well as could be expected. The boys were of course excited to maintain power. Kate pushed through the disappointment and has begun to embrace the idea of maintaining her position as princess of the universe. It has taken a little adjustment for me. The idea of one dramatic girl and a house full of rowdy boys is a little overwhelming but I'm warming to the idea. Now, Cuatro will probably be nameless (other than "Cuatro") until he's twelve but I guess that's what happens when you're the 3rd boy. : ) It's been so funny to hear people's responses. People with one or even two (young) boys have been excited for me. People with more than two boys or boys that are 4 or older have given much compassion and as much encouragement as they could muster. That has all come with much warning about the level of rowdiness that is about to reek havoc on our home. I guess that is where I was when I heard the news. I was fine with more boys when I only had Luke but when DR. Destructo (aka Caleb) joined the ranks and teamed up with his older brother, I realized that my world was quickly changing! I can only pray for an ultra laid back dreamer-type child that will bring balance to the family. lol! In all seriousness though, we are very excited about the the addition of another boy to our family and it will be so fun to watch the transformation as we go from a Party of Five to a Six Pack!
