Ready for the big news???? It's a GIRL! Ha ha! We were
all, actually, a little surprised. Why? Well, I feel her moving almost constantly throughout the
day (very unlike her sister, Hazel). Hazel was her cautious, extremely feminine-self,
even in the womb. More like nestles and snuggles….no karate kicks. So, I kept
giving Jared the impression, that I thought it must be a boy. NOPE! Just a
highly active little girl J
Jared and I were laughing in the ultrasound. We
are really excited to add another member to our family. At first, though, I
think we were both a little shocked (and I think, subconsciously, hoping that
having another girl didn't mean going through another feeding tube experience).
But, as time allowed, we became quite convinced that this really is the right
order of things….and child #3 is definitely meant to be a girl. Hooray!
The day before the ultrasound, I took Brodey and
Hazel to a bakery and let them pick out some frosted sugar cookies. Half of
them were pink and yellow (for if it was a girl), and the other half were blue
and green (for if it was a boy). After Jared and I came home from the ultra sound,
the kiddos were very excited to unwrap the tinfoil, and see what colors the
cookies were. They were pink and yellow ! J
I was worried about Brodey being disappointed,
but he quickly adapted, and said that it's going to be "pretty cool" to
have two sisters. And, I think it will
be exciting and fun for Hazel to have a sister so close to her in age. YIPPEE!
It's a girl….here we go!
