We announced our pregnancy in September and were touched by all the well wishes we received from our loyal readers. Now it’s time to reveal the gender! Will we have three boys, or will our two boys get a baby sister?
Just like with our second baby, I really truly didn’t have a preference on boy versus girl. Most people assumed I wanted a girl, but when they would ask which I preferred, I would smile and say, “Having a daughter would be wonderful, but having three sons would be just as wonderful.”
We wanted to tell our boys the news before we told anyone else. Mr. Handsome was able to accompany me to the ultrasound while my mom watched our kids. To turn it into a little date, we stopped by a deli after the appointment. (My sandwich wasn’t deli meat, of course.) Then we took care of a couple errands at the bank and grocery store (don’t tell us we don’t know how to plan a romantic outing and topped it all off with coffee (shared, so this pregnant mama didn’t consume too much caffeine). On the way home, we picked up gender reveal cupcakes from a local bakery.
Littlest Buddy doesn’t yet understand the concept of being a big brother, but Little Buddy was very eager for us to come back and share the news. When he bit into his cupcake and saw pink filling, he was thrilled!

Congratulations mama! A little girl will be so different than a boy! The bows, styling their hair and the pretty pretty clothes, your husband will love having a daughter to dote on him too.
We have three girls, a boy, then another girl! People are shocked we didnt stop “once I got my son”.
Also, I’m so sorry you have to reassure readers about your eating and drinking habits while pregnant so you don’t get hounded.
I drank coffee everyday, and ate deli meat 🤫 every. single. pregnancy. My babies turned out as great. Congrats again!!!
JenniferH
I agree! I also eat deli meat and have been eating it this pregnancy and then most of them I could handle coffee after the first trimester so I drank it 😜 there is no difference between the ones I couldn’t handle coffee with versus the ones who I could 🤷🏼♀️
Diana
I agree! I ate deli meat too. My doc said to toast the sandwiches and it would be fine.

My one regret was drinking coffee having the last girl. It would have been better to get that rooted out. Even this weekend I’m still battling caffeine addiction, trying to vlear the caffeine out of my system. And I have felt just awful all over body aches bad head aches just throbbing and now I’m just taking tiny steps and I’m so tire and weak.
What ever is in caffeine can’t be good for developing babies.
Elizabeth
Lovely! Congratulations! Are you due in 2023 or 2024?
Ellie
Thank you! 2024

Congratulations!! This will be a fun new experience! To me, it always seems that the stores stock more baby girl clothes than boy clothes. Happy shopping!
