Surprises and Little Daredevils

This past weekend, Samantha had a delightful surprise to share—she’s expecting another beautiful child! This will be Sam and Everett’s second. Sam mentioned that Everett wouldn’t mind welcoming another girl, but she’s feeling a bit uncertain. Having Sloane first, she’s used to the dynamics of raising girls and isn’t sure how she would feel about being a "boy mom," although she’s open to the idea.

Everett has two brothers, one of whom has two daughters, while the other has a boy and is expecting a girl, so it’s really anyone’s guess what this baby will be. Sam has the option to find out the gender through a blood test at 10 or 11 weeks, but she’s still undecided on whether to take that route or wait.

I can’t help but feel a bit of a "boy vibe," although that might just be influenced by my TikTok feed, which seems to be overflowing with baby boys lately. Sam also had her first ultrasound last week, where they detected a heartbeat of 153. I tend to be a bit superstitious, so that has me leaning toward girl, but we’ll see!

Ultimately, what matters most is a healthy baby, and I’m just thrilled for their growing family!

 And this speaks for itself, yes? She did it over and over. Of course, I may have threatened her life when she first started. Seeing as how she attempted to jump from the top stair. Oiy... 

Tim and I also got to see the parents. Dad is loving his 3D printer and gave us all care packages of Christmas ornaments and mom made breakfast and we all sat and enjoyed Sloane running around playing. It was a great weekend!
