Let the spoiling begin...

Chris and I had our anxiously-awaited ultrasound today that would reveal whether we would be preparing for a girl or a boy. I didn't care either way as long as I would be able to prepare as I think a boy would be fun since I already have two fun boys or a girl would be nice to round out the family (and even the playing field slightly). The boys changed their minds several times over the last couple months on what they wanted. Chris was hoping for a girl when the boys were at their wild peak. I was starting to believe it was a girl based on the differences in this pregnancy.

The results were...IT'S A GIRL! I made sure the ultrasound technician felt very confident and she said to let the shopping begin. Everything else about the baby was perfect....beautiful heart & spine, good weight, etc. Baby girl of the family....I predict some major spoiling from grandparents (and parents, who are we kidding). I also predict that she will rule the nest when it comes to the boys. The question will be whether she is a girlie girl or a tomboy??

We told the boys that we had a dr. appt today and learned something about the baby. Connor immediately guessed that we found out she was a girl. He then started up with the stories about how he is going to show off his little sister. At one point, he asked what 2 boys and a girl mean. Huh - it means 3 kids. I think he was looking for triplets, which thank goodness they are not. We then asked them to give us their favorite girl name to make sure it was on the list to be considered. They came up with two very pretty names to add that is going to make the decision that much more difficult.
