The Verdicts Out



Family Vote:

The Beloved, Lou, and Ruckus -  Voted Girl

Me, Little C, and The Baby (because I'm sure he understood what was going on :) -  Voted Boy

And, drum roll please.....



Can you believe it?
I want to - but can't. 
Not until I see her and hold her perfect self in my arms.
I sat there, stunned when the ultra sound tech revealed the news -
over joyed but disbelieving.
I have boys.
I am the mother of boys.
Nobody has ever referred to a "her" being inside of my body or said the words, "your daughter" in reference to my life.
A daughter?
So many thoughts.
Wow. Amazing. I don't know how to do girl hair. I'm going shopping. Chick Flicks. The Beloved will be such a good dad to a little girl. Spoiled. Boys will protect her. They'll adore her. Friend.  Daughter of God. She'll need a sister. This will soften our home. Barbies. 
New Adventure.
I love her.
Her?
 What the world!? 
she, her, female, damsel, lady, lassie, mademoiselle, Miss, daughter -
A baby girl. :)

Accumulation of girl clothes after only one day from finding out baby's a girl.

P.S. Little Baby inside of me - if somehow you happen to be a little boy- know that our excitement for your arrival won't be diminished.
The protective mother in me must relay this disclaimer. :)
We love you little human.
Girl or Boy. :)

Wow! I am in shock too. How fun and awesome. She is going to be one well protected little girl with all those brothers. I am sure she will be smothered in love too by them. Congratulations. I can't wait to see pictures of her when she arrives.
Disclaimer: If she indeed is a he as these things can be mistakes I will still be excited to see pictures and can't wait to hear the name you come up with regardless of gender.

so so happy for you! Girls do change things up for good and for bad but it keeps you on your toes. Best wishes on the rest of your pregnancy! Get ready to wash lots of pink things and have the headband end up as an eye patch :)
