IT'S A GIRL!

Tuesday, April 9, 2019

Good morning! I had the usual weekend recap and menu post planned for yesterday but had trouble logging into Blogger all day. Fun! ;) I figure we can skip that, though, and get to the most IMPORTANT part of our weekend which was finding out that our sweet baby on the way is a little...

GIRL! 


HOORAY! The girls are beyond excited, and so are we. We know girls well, we already have pink all over our house, we have absolutely loved watching the bond between sisters grow over the past couple of years... and we can't wait to add one more little love to the mix! 

I am 15 weeks today, and while it would usually be at least a couple more weeks until we'd find out the gender of our babe (and we do find out each time, we're those people, although I definitely admire those who can wait for a surprise!) -- for each of our kids we have chosen to go to a place that does private 2D/3D ultrasounds for the big reveal. It is a wonderfully calm, intimate, special experience and, honestly, I can't recommend it enough to expecting parents. We now have a 20 minute video of babe #3 wiggling and moving around (plus pictures) that we can keep forever. I mean, look at that little profile!


Our appointment was actually initially scheduled for today, but we saw an opening on Saturday morning and decided last minute to go for it. We've been sort of "fly by the seat of our pants" with this kid, haha, just going with whatever feels right. And on Saturday morning, it felt right to find out who was dancing around in there! What was so fun and special was that the girls were able to come with us and find out at the exact moment we did that they were going to get a little sister. On the drive over, we had asked them to predict if it was a girl or a boy and they both said "GIRL!" And they were right!


Saturday afternoon Hadley and I went to Target to buy balloons for the announcement, and she helped me pick out baby's first little outfit (a family tradition after finding out the gender). Sunday was the most gorgeous day -- blue skies and warm temps -- and we took pictures to send to our family and friends and to make the news official. 

Thanks for following along on this journey! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

  7. Oh boy! I mean, oh girl. I am the youngest of 3 girls (followed by 2 brothers). Let the good times roll.

    I have two girls and 4 boys. We never found out. When the youngest (girl) was born, the kids stood around the hospital bed bouncing up and down waiting for me to tell them. I held the baby up - she was all swaddled. 'What do you think it is?' The boys all said, 'boy!' Mini said, 'Is it a sister, do I have a sister? Is it a girl baby?' Mini was 3.5. She positively melted when I told her it was a girl. Days later I noticed that she kept asking me if it was a boy yet. I finally explained that unless we all planned to end up on Jerry Springer, this was going to be a girl ALWAYS. More relief and excitement! All the best for a healthy pregnancy.
