I had my 20-week ultrasound, and we found out we're having a baby girl! I still can't believe it! I was shocked as I was totally expecting to have another sweet little boy. It's been so exciting and emotional and fun and all of those wonderful things that go along with preparing for a new baby's arrival. And now I don't know what to do first......make hair bows or pick out crib bedding or buy dresses or sew curtains! I think about her and my eyes fill with tears of joy. George is already planning how to train her brothers to protect her from teenage boys, years from now.....LOL....I guess that's what men think about.
But for now, we are feeling blessed, overjoyed and very excited to meet our daughter this Spring!
Congratulations! That is so exciting! Have fun to your hearts delight decorating with pinks.

Congratulations! As a mom of 2 boys and a Grand Finale (girl). I can tell you that, you don't have to teach the boys to protect their baby sister. That is an instinct that comes naturally and is absolutely adorable. It is good for her that she is 4 years younger than one and 7 years younger than the other. She might just have a shot at dating at some point. Although they have sworn to come back home and "protect" her. Luckily she is 9 and that will be a while.
