It's A...

Girl! 

Yes, another one! I had a feeling it was a girl. 

Right now, I'm pretty happy.

Was I happy when I found out?

I think I was in shock...that it really really really was a third girl. I didn't cry...I just didn't know what to think. Disappointed? A little, yes. I felt like one of those women back in the old days who couldn't give their husbands a son. Until I was reminded that I'm only 21, I have about 16 more fertile years to bear children! Hello!

So I post this on facebook, and people are already making comments about how we may never have a boy and so & so had 7 girls or so & so had all girls, etc.  Give me a break, just because we have three little girls now, does not mean that we will never, ever, ever have a boy.

Anyway, I did a little shopping & thinking, and I'm over it & pretty happy.  I have a healthy growing little baby inside me, that God gave to me, girl or boy, in the end, it doesn't matter. 

It actually makes me cry for feeling the way I felt in the first place. Just yesterday I was reading a story in the mops magazine about a lady who found out her second child had down syndrome. When she found out, she cried  and cried and cried and told God she didn't want a child with down syndrome and that it wasn't fair. Well, after the little girl was born the doctors called her & told her that she needed to bring the girl back to the hospital immediately because some test results came back and something could be even more seriously wrong. The lady wrote that she fell to her knees after that phone call thinking "this is it...I told God I didn't want a child with down syndrome and he is going to take her back...". In the end, she ended up begging God to keep he child alive and learned to love her & what not and now she can't imagine her life with out her. 

Okay, I am not saying that me having a third girl is as bad as finding out there is something wrong with your child, or even close. The part that got me as I was thinking about it, is the "God taking her back" part. Even though I want to give my husband a son, even though everyone is saying i'll never have a boy now, even though everyone thinks the teenage years are going to be awful for me and they are sending their prayers in advance...I wouldn't want it any other way. I would never want God to take this little girl back.  

Phew! So, we'll have "big sister" "middle sister" "little sister"! How cute.

In the ultrasound, which my dad did and my very good friend was there for, she had hiccups and even peed! I got to see the little urine bubbles. She is measuring 18wks & 6 days. I think she's growing way fast. EVERY time I have an U/S she is measuring further and further away from her original due date! Before I know it they'll be changing her due date to mid July! My original edd was Aug 3. Then at my first US it was Aug 1. Then when they measured my belly it was July 31. Now it would be something like July 29th! Keeping it at August 1 though. 

We have not decided on an exact name yet. We are throwing a few around. I don't know when we'll know! With Adison we didn't decide until she was born! With Riley i think I was 6 months. Oh well, we have time! Now I can relax, and enjoy this little girl in my bellly while it last's! 

Here's to...three healthy little girls!
