"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

December 21st

Ok. Mark your calendars. Ok, so you probably won't. But, I will. Why? That's the day we find out if we are having a boy or a girl.

Corey is dying for a daughter. He wants a girl so bad. He's already said, "If it's a girl, she's already got me wrapped around her finger." Nathan has finally started to acknowledge the question "Do you want a baby sister or a baby brother?" This is big progress, but he has said a baby sister twice. Me? I just want a baby. A healthy one. And have for awhile. So I'm just happy to be where I am. No joke. If we have a boy, Nathan will have so much fun playing with a little brother. And I really wouldn't need to buy very much 'stuff'. If we have a girl, I will finally get to play dress up with lace and bows and dolls and pink. And open boxes of all of my old dresses. That will be fun.

So what do you think?

According to the Chinese Birth Chart (I know, I'm a dork) it will be a girl...according to what first comes to mind...a boy. Either way, so excited for you!

I'm going to say a girl, but only because I already know what the boy version of a Corey-Mindi mixture makes:) I'd like to see what the girl version looks like...so- girl. How that for logic? :)

This is Corey. All you who say that it is a girl rock. We still don't know, but I am pretty sure. 110 % sure that it will be a girl. Just so you know. And Justin and Nat will have a boy. And he will rock. Just thought that I would give my two cents in.
