For 21 weeks we have been waiting to see if my boys are observant enough to notice the huge protrusion sicking out of the front of my stomach. I am pretty sure that everyone knows that I have indeed found myself knocked up again. Well, my boys did not figure it out, apparently I always look swollen. We wanted to wait to tell them while I tried to decide if I am crazy for having another baby. We waited so long that we figured we would take them to the "big ultrasound." Actually our ultrasounds are a little anti-climatic. My ob does them. I am pretty sure he has the first ultrasound machine built. He can see all the things he needs to see, all the things that are important. In the grand scheme of things, the gender is not part of the important part. I agree wholeheartedly. That being said, I always really really want to know whether we are having a boy or a girl. This time, I was a little worried that maybe we would have both. Yikes! Well, we will not be having twins. We will be having one baby towards the end of September. If I were guessing, I would guess September 23rd to be precise. Thank goodness for planned cesareans. My doctor, bless his heart, THINKS we are having another boy. Hunter and Remi are completely stoked. Remi emphatically told me that he didn't ever want another sister. He could be right. Bentley might be all the girl this family can handle. Although I have decided that I am joining the ranks of neurotic women that bear children close to 18 months apart, for now, I am okay with it. Neurosis suits me.

congratulations Lydia! How fun and exciting that you waited to tell your kids until now. I always want to try to keep it a secret,but I just can't hold it in. I end up telling complete strangers and then I worry that my family will find out, so I wind up telling them too!
LOL Another boy will be great! Although the kids 18 months apart hasn't hit you yet, IT WILL!!!! JK you will be fine. Little Bents will handle her own just fine. 3 boys, 1 girl--- She's got it all planned out. I feel so bad that you have to go through the whole summer prego:( you better spend lots of time in the water. We need to get together again soon. Maybe we can meet in Nephi and have a girls day in Provo. I will call ya soon.
YAY for another baby!! I'm excited for you, and maybe while I'm in Utah we can meet up! I would love to see you!!
Exciting!! I think you guys have the cutest boys! We sure miss seeing you and Stephen around.
I am excited for a boy, he will fit in perfectly in this family! I think the Lord is teasing all of us by throwing a girl in every once in a while. Heaven knows we will need all the help we can get to raise all these boys!
Congrats, Lydia! I am so excited that you are having another boy. Boys are the best! (I am a little partial.) So sorry you are preggo during the summer. Hot! Crazy that you thought you were having twins, cuz I feel like I am having twins the next time! Just a nightmare I guess. Congrats again. By the way are you going to the reunion?
Hey congrats! That's exciting. I hope you're feeling well.
Carrie- Stephen has a big mouth so usually everyone else knows the day after we find out. I swear he tells anyone he sees.
Angie- It's not Bentley that I am worried about. It is her wrath on the others. :) She is so spoiled! I would love to have a girls days. I will wait patiently by the phone.
Haylee- Thanks. I would love to see you and your little Blake. You had better email me or something when you come. We love road trips.
Elise - They are pretty cute. They are so excited to add to the wealth. We miss you guys too. We came up for Genel's wedding reception and got caught up with the others, but it wasn't really the same without you there.
April - We are a little heavy on the testosterone side. Secretly I was a little excited at the prospect of having more females in our home than males, or at least an equal showing.
Gel - Thanks! Boys are so much easier than girls. That much is for sure. Stephen has about 10 people his age that have had twins. I think it is a little strange for such a small graduating class. Plus spending so much time with the Nelson twins has probably planted that seed. They are soooo cute and fun. However, I would be totally overwhelmed going right from 3 kids to 5. Yikes!
Rach- Thanks, I feel great!
Wow! You have quite a following. Big surprise the Hintze xy struck again!
Congrats and good luck to you and your hubby. Poor Bentley! I guess what doesn't kill her in the next few years will beat up anyone that tries to hurt her later!
I had a suspicion that you two were expecting again . . . never dare say anything though. LOL. CONGRATS!!! I am happy for you guys. You are a great momma.
Hintze Family - It just goes to show how bored people get during the day. They are willing to resort to reading my blog. Bentley is getting tougher by the day.
Tiffany - Thank you. I think we are a little crazy, but what's done is done, no place to go but forward.
Congratulations! I am so excited for you! Good work on keeping it under wraps until 21 weeks! That will make the time go by much faster for your kiddos!
I hope you are feeling well!
Janey- Thanks. I am glad that we did keep it under wraps. They have driven me nuts this past week with all the "when will the baby get here" talk! I am feeling great! I hope you are too. You are almost done!
Congrats girl!! That is excited news! xxx
