Well, We Can Add Another Member To The Team Marshman Pinewood Derby Juggernaut...


'Cause baby, we are having another boy!!

Brian said yesterday, "I am so glad we have this little fella, Mom." I asked him, "What little fella?" (We were unloading the van from our fabulous Spring Break trip to our homeland of Virginia to see my nephew Jonas baptised.) I thought Brian was talking about a stuffed animal because sometimes he calls them, "Little Fella".
He patted my expanding tummy and answered with a beaming grin, "This little fella, mom."
I started to cry...can you believe that? I know...I need to be more tenderhearted...I have been so stoic *cough* and void of emotion, lately.
Through tears I looked down at Brian's big brown eyes and told him softly through my own beaming grin,
.
"I am so glad, too."

Hooray for boys! Do you guys have H&M out there? They're my favorite baby boy clothes. And oooo, can you post about names and ideas for names, because I want to put in my unsolicited input.
Congratulations to the whole family!

Aww... that made me tear up a bit!

I miss feeling a little one inside my belly. It is such a miracle!!

That "little fella" is so blessed to be in your family!'

Congrats. :)

My name is Andrea said...

Congratulations! One more for a basketball team! That is so sweet, I would have started crying too. How wonderful for the little fella to have such great big brothers who will be so sweet and will be able to be such a great example!! I am so excited for you! I love my boys more than life itself!

BTW this is where the parallells stop.

Aleasha said...

YAY!!!!! I am soo excited for you!!! I can't wait to squeeze this little fella!

Dan said...

At least you won't have to buy any new clothes, right? Dan told me that because of people like you, we will have all girls. I don't know if that's a compliment or not. :)

Jessica said...

What a perfect announcement!

(And kids who love each other? Best thing about parenting. Especially watching big old boys loving on little tiny babies. Almost makes the morning sickness worth it!)

Becky said...

Congratulations! Now Asher can have a little brother!!! Brian is such a sweetheart! We still need to get them together! :)

jessica said...

You raise the most tender hearted, funny, handsome boys. I think you should shoot for a whole football team!

Boden Family said...

That "little fella" quote is so cute! Your boys are adorable. It was so fun to see you last weekend. Congratulations again on boy 4! We sill think you should go with Graham Hershey as a name...

diane said...

Those 4 boys are so blessed to have you for their Mom. The world needs more good men.

Melissa-Mc said...

Congratulations! In the hospital after my 4th boy was born I said to my husband, "scouts forever."

Ryan said...

So Lauren ... congrats on the baby boy. Take it from someone who knows, boys are magnificent. I was looking at your comment and username and it got me to wondering are you a southern belle? Do you have one of those outrageously attractive southern drawls that us "nohthenah's" go ga ga over? I am just wondering. I need to know what accent to use when reading your comments our blog. Yes, this IS very important.

Nicki said...

Another little boy to snuggle and squeeze. Advantages:
1. you already have some clothes
2. you have already thought of all the good names that go with Marshman
3. you know how to potty train a little boy (no front to back concerns ;)
4. you know it will come out darn cute (or grit cute)

Bridget said...

Congrats!! There is no way you can avoid being den mother now. ;) Boys rock.

Glenn and Melanie said...

Tiffany wants to know how to make a boy!!!! Congrats!

Elizabeth Caldwell said...

Yessssssss! Congrats Lauren! Those boys are lucky to have you.

I'm excited for your little fella too!

I'm glad the batman costumes will get another round of wear and tear.

mahina said...

Amber said...

You are sooooo funny. I am convinced you wouldn't know what to do with a girl. :-) Congratulations on confirming what the rest of us always knew. :)

Melanie said...
