Upping the Ante

       So it took nine months before I finally got pregnant with Emery, so after some thought we decided that for baby number four we would start trying much earlier.  We both said, but this time we won't have any problems and I'll get pregnant fast.  We were right.  November 8th baby number four will be joining us, and Emery will get to boss someone around at the tender age of 16th months.  We're very happy.  Avery was not so happy at the beginning, but now she has warmed up.  At first she would tell me, "No, no, no baby.  Not again."  As if she had any reason to complain.  When Emery was born she got to go to Disneyland three weeks later with just Daryl.  At any rate she is now at peace with the idea.
   Avery and Harper currently say they would like another sister.  Although this answer can vary from time to time for Harper.  Avery has been pretty consistently saying sister.  Harper has told me on several occasions though that Emery would like a brother.  Daryl and I would appreciate having a boy for sure, but if it's a girl we aren't going to be upset.  We're having another baby because we want a baby not a boy or a girl specifically.
