I see a big, cheery purple sign that said something about 'pregnancy' behind Toys R Us...so I told Trav 'this must be it!' And he replied with 'that shack?' Long story short. We go in. It is dark. There is no front desk. A lady comes up to us & asks what we are doing there. This is strange....
We told her we were here for our appointment at 5. She kept asking if I would like some water & I assured her the gallon I had to drink on the way up was plenty. After waiting for awhile and filling out some information, she asked if I would like Trav to stay or go back with me. Duh! I wanted him to go back with me. So we go into this itty bitty room. And I start looking around....Abortion signs. Adoption signs. Ummmm....
Oh em gee. Something was wrong! The lady started interigating us. I said that I was pretty sure we were in the wrong place. We would like to keep our baby. And actually we were hoping to get an ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby that we love and would like to keep.
She kind of started to giggle and said that we were definitely in the wrong place. This was a pregnancy crisis center. And headed us in the right direction.....
Phew, now that we got that over with and decided that we were 110% positive we would like to keep this baby, we headed down a couple of buildings to find out his/her gender.
Sure enough. There is a big sign that said "Expectation Ultrasounds LLC 3D/4D Ultrasounds" Alright! In the right place. We walk in. It is cheery and bright. There was a front desk & the lady said 'you must be Sarah!!' Why yes, yes I am!!! Filled out more appropriate paperwork & we went into a room with a bed and a screen.
The sweet as can be ultrasound tech didn't even have to say anything.... I saw 'it'. Mmmmhmmm. She assured my prediction was correct and said sure enough...another BOY. Bahahahaha.
Seriously. I love it. And I haven't stopped laughing since last night. Maybe I laugh because I don't want to cry. But then I start to cry a little bit. But then I get so giddy because I kinda actually love the fact of having three boys.
We went to dinner and Babies R Us afterwards. I'm not gonna lie, the shopping trip wasn't the shopping trip I was planning on but regardless, this was a new baby and he deserved a little present. I walked by all the dresses and bows and rompers. Didn't even give them a glance. Well maybe just a little glance. And walked straight to the little bitty boy section. And ya know what? Baby boy's brothers already have all of those clothes. Hahaha. I did however, find a rather adorable NB jammies & woobie that matched that his brothers didn't have! YES! Then we looked around the rest of the store. And as I was laughing, I said to Trav...'ya know, this isn't really working is it?' We already have all the boy stuff in the store. I'm sorry baby...hand me downs are cool too!
So yes, I am going to be a mother to THREE BOYS. I can't believe it. I knew us having a girl would be a long shot. But really...three boys hahaha. Awww, I love it! And I can't wait to meet him. I love boys & they are all I know. And the bright side. 3 weddings we don't have to pay for!!!
So now that the whole world knows that our little peanut is a BOY...might as well share his name too :)
Graydon Lane Roscow
aka
Grady :)
YES!! After three boys, I finally got the name I have wanted fooorever!!! :):):) I wanted both L&L to be Graydon Bradlee. Dad wasn't having it. And honestly, he still isn't in love. But I told him, I totally deserve to have the name I have always wanted. And Lane... Lane is what Trav wanted both L&L's names to be. After Lane Frost. Because he's such a die hard rodeo fan and all?? So that is that. We both get what we want. And I told him he is more than welcome to call him Lane but everyone else will call him Grady! I just could not do another L for a first name. Say it. Luke, Logan, and Lane. Cute when it is written out but...just say it right now. Holy tongue twister! And Lane Graydon sounds silly. Right?!
So Graydon Lane, I cannot wait to meet you and kiss you and snuggle you and take in your new baby smell. I'm a little curious of what you will look like. Considering your one brother looks like your Dad and your other brother looks like your Uncles. Maybe you will look like your Mama :)
And for the question I keep getting....
"Are you going to try for a fourth??"
Hold the phone. We would like to embrace this pregnancy and this precious baby boy first. Is it true that I said if little Grady was a girl we were 110% DONE, yes. I have the 'snip snip' doctor's phone number. Is there part of me that still would like to try for a little girl, yes. Is it going to happen? I honestly can't give you a definite yes or a definite no. At this very moment I am very happy and content with having three little men in my life. And... I would like to keep my sanity. So let's just all relax and see where life takes us. There is a reason I was blessed with three boys. Who knows... maybe they will bless me with all granddaughters ;)

Congrats again!!! As I was sharing with Meagan last night (after she texted me after you posted blc she KNEW I was not by my phone blc I hadn't commented yet-god love HER) that I'm totally a boy mom, I just know it. Just think if a little sassy pants girl was hitting you and telling you to "look at me when I'm talking to you" I'd be like ARE.YOU.SERIOUS!?!? But with a boy I laugh it off blc boys do those kind of things & are still cute about it.
I'm soooo excited for you and Trav and the boys! And I'm estatic that you finally get your name!! Lane Frost really?! Oh Travis. Soooo excited! Can't wait to meet little Grady!
Three boys...lord help you. Lol. jk. Congrats!
How scary bring in the wrong office! I'm sure the lady working there thought you two were acting strange too!
Oh, I just love that name!
If you wanted to hand off this little peanut and try for a girl, I would be more than happy to step in and give him a home...you didn't have to go to a crisis center ;)
So happy for you! And LOVE the name.
If anyone can handle 3 boys, it's you. And don't worry...eventually you'll have 3 daughter-in-laws, and they will adore you for raising such well mannered gentlemen.
O.M.G. I would have freaked out if I would have walked into that first place!
Awww....baby Grady!! LOVE it!!
No girls means you still get to be the princess of the house...which let's face it is a great feeling!!And yes, no weddings to pay for and like Heather said, you will get 3 daughter-in-laws who will admire you like no other!!
Congrats on the new addition!!! And I love the name!! No one is gonna mess wit u Sarah and if So they will have ur four boys at their doorstep... my 'mother-n-law' had three boys and So far we all have blessed her with nothing but girls!! Sure girls r cute and fun to shop for but they do get very expensive.. do u remember how many homecoming/prom dresses u had wen n high school. Not mentioning the hair and nails and who could ever forget about the tanning months before. and this list goes on...;) u r a perfect person to raise boys. We need more respectful men n this world... awww after all this baby talk now I WANT a boy!!! Lol!
Haha that anonymous is me.. didn't mean to do that.
GREAT name! And congrats on your new little guy. Early on, the ultrasound tech had predicted we were having another girl. So I planned and got used to the idea that we would have two girls. Then at our real "find out" appointment, she tells us we're having a boy! I almost cried. Even though I had wanted a boy originally! I'd just gotten it in my mind it was another girl and was ready for that. You know--we are just so hormonal at that point that we can't really control our reactions. I was weepy 75% of my pregnancy anyway. Now I'm so in love with my boy that I can't imagine a second girl.
What an adventure just to get an ultrasound :) Love the name! Congrats!
Oh my, what a story! :D I love it! I think having so many daughters-in-law down the road will be FUN - you get to skip the fighting/annoying/teenage years that I absolutely dread. Haha. Congratulations!
Love the name ! I was totally wrong on my guess though.
I would have FREAKED walking into the crisis center!
Congrats!
