After much anticipation, we visited the doctor this morning to discover that we are having another BOY! Is it even possible that I will be the mother of FOUR sons? In the spirit of making Faith feel special, we had the doctor whisper it to FAITH and then she told us the news.
She didn't cry, but was less than thrilled about the possibility of another BROTHER! But, I reassured her that she will be my princess forever and ever! More girls nights out, more fingernail painting, shopping, and taking care of our new baby brother!
She will be the BIGGEST helper when this baby arrives in February! This whole baby experience will be different than the last 4 because my other children are more grown up. When we had John, our OLDEST, I repeat OLDEST of 4 children had just turned 5. Faith was only 3, Clark was ONE. So, this will be different all together!
We are thrilled that the baby is doing well, and now are planning for our trip this FRIDAY to Orlando with Mimi and Papa. More on that later!
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers in our behalf!

Congratulations! I'm sorry for Miss Faith, but so glad our baby boys will be buddies! And, yes, I can believe you will be a mother of FOUR boys...no one better to raise up all those future missionaries! Have a great trip!
What a brave little girl you have! I can't believe that you had four under five, I about died when I had two under two and three under four. I am glad that your baby is excited, and enjoy Orlando. Kaylynn AKA Zuster Hollist
How exciting! It was so fun to catch up with you the other day. I hope you have an uneventful and wonderful rest of your pregnancy.
Congratulations!!! Boys are WONDERFUL!!! Grace took a couple of days to warm up to the "another brother" news - but thank heavens for that fun ultrasound to help prepare her! After a few weeks, she never mentioned "the girl kind of baby" wish anymore.
I am so happy for you - this is such a wonderful miracle!
Hurrah! Four strapping, young Croshaw gentlemen to grace this earth. A fine happiness to us moms with girls.
We hope all is WELL! We love you!
Congrats on a boy! You are right Faith will be the princess and the best mommy to your baby ever. You kids are all so sweet with babies. This little guy is going to be the most loved kid around!
Vanessa, how exciting! Congratulations on another boy! I still remember being in primary and one of your sons knew all the answers to the scripture story that was being shared. I was so impressed how well you taught your sons. Heavenly Father knows what a good teacher you are to them, he's sending you another one!
So glad to hear he is healthy and doing fine. You guys are in our thoughts/prayers.
Vanessa, we have just the opposite- 4girls, 1boy. I am excited for you!
