Enough said...

 At only five ounces and just shy of 16 weeks, baby #3 is a........

Even though I am terribly (beyond) sad that I will never paint pink stripes and flowers on a wall or play with babies and barbies and enjoy afternoon tea parties, I do think it is so rad to say that, "Yes, I have three boys!!!" 


More thoughts, feeling, and how this all went down to come... Just didn't feel right to leave you hanging for too long!

Congrats to you and the family! So exciting! Yes girls are fun but boys are great too! What a blessing he will be! There may not be barbies and tea parties but there will be lots of wrestling! :)

I promise to keep this short since I wrote a huge book on fb, but just wanted to send ((((((hugs)))))) again and congrats on the all boys club!! Whether or not you ever get that 'girl', you will have peace about this, I promise. Just remember it's perfectly ok to feel what you're feeling, doesn't mean you don't love this new little guy any less, you're just mourning the loss of the daughter of your heart that you yearn for!! Hang in there, I promise it gets better!!! Can't wait to meet the new little guy!!! I know he's gonna have 2 great brothers looking out for him!!

God knows that this world needs some godly men and knows that the Higgins are committed to raising such men. And maybe your quiver isn't quite full.:)

Exciting times ahead for you!

Boys are tough. I have four...I did think I would want a girl, but what a challenge to bring up four Godly men who will love their families and love God even more. The task is overwhelming. Congrats...

I don't think I mean to say boys are tough...they are, but they are wonderful in every since of the word.

Congrats, Erica! You will have this boy raising thing down... you could write a book! And have a baseball team. And we need good men for my girls to marry :)
