I get asked for 6+ weeks if it is a boy or girl. I even get a few, "Oh, you're not finding out?" I don't know if this happens because I tell early or show early or a combination of both. But it gets a little annoying. (Excuse my crazy pregnant tendency to get annoyed easily, oh wait, I do that anyways.) But today was the day to find out, finally! Dropped the kids off at a babysitters, got asked again what I was having and thought, 'that is the last time before I find out.' As we sat waiting for the ultrasound doctor, I got a call from grandma asking boy or girl!
Moving on, the doctor checked to make sure baby was healthy and growing before she revealed the gender. As she was going along a few times I thought, yep it's a..... But I didn't say anything fearing I would sound stupid to the expert. In the end, I admit to being wrong the last month but right about what I thought I saw in the machine. It's a girl!
Chad told me as we were leaving that he saw the infamous 3 lines also and thought that it was a girl. Says something to me that we both were able to see that because it wasn't that clear. I don't know what it says, but something. Like maybe we're getting too good at this. He was a little shocked, but I can't wait to see him hold another little princess. My friend says, "She will bring balance to the force." I don't know about that, but I do know she will be exactly what this family needs. What I need. And we are what she needs.
P.S. Patrick isn't so excited, but Auretta is thrilled! You're shocked admit it.
Yeah for little girls! Patrick will come around :) I can't believe how much all your kids look alike. So cute, all of them. I promise I'm planning a trip out!!

I am so excited. I can't believe 4 little girls this year! This is so crazy! You look good, and hopefully you are feeling good! We love you guys. Give hugs and kisses to the kids for us.
Please know that in my current semi-brain-dead state I am not likely to remember that. I will probably remember that it bugged you, though, so I won't likely ask you when I forget. I'll just wait until you show up and then remember.

Congratulations!!! Girls are so fun! Now your family will be evenly split. I'm glad to say the girls are winning in our family for the first time! Good luck with 4 kiddos. Does Patrick go to kindergarten this year?
