On Friday, June 22 the five of us filed into the ultrasound room and waited eagerly to ensure this baby was healthy and to discover the gender. I felt a wave of relief and excitement as the technician revealed that we would indeed have another daughter coming to our family this November.
The anticipation of waiting 20 weeks to know my child's gender has been
excruciating. Thankfully the other three littles have been keeping me
occupied. I'm not sure whether Paul and I will choose to add any more
children to our family after baby #4 so I was especially hopefully to
have another girl. From the beginning of this pregnancy I had the
feeling that this little one was a girl. Vince was the only one who
guessed it would be a boy this time. He was open to the idea of a sister
though, stating, "If we have a sister we will have 3 boys and 3 girls,"
and that just made sense in his head.
Kate has been referring to my growing bump as "Baby Sister" ever since she found out I was pregnant. I continually reminded her that it could be a baby brother... but she remained confident that it was a girl.
Drew, of course, has no idea what's going on.
I cannot wait to swaddle, rock, and love on this baby girl. She is going to be adored by many.
