Yes Sir, That’s My Baby! (girl…)

by

I walked in the room, layed on the table and exposed my belly. Then the cold gel. My heart started to beat really fast as I thought “This woman is about to tell me if I’m going to have another baby boy or if I will get to have a daughter.”
My husband likes to talk a lot (it’s a gift and a curse) and after the tech put him in his place by saying “Okay Dad, I’m going to do all my work first and then we’ll see what we can see.” we were off….

She took about 5 years minutes to look around at what she needed to, while taking all the necessary measurements, etc. At one point I thought I saw “girl parts” but I’m no expert at reading those things and I needed HER to tell me that, not for me to infer anything.

Once she was finally done with the technical stuff, she moved on down and there they were plain as day.

That’s when Tim smiled most certainly one of THE biggest smiles I’ve ever seen on his face (he was hoping for a girl but neither of us wanted to “get our hopes up,” so to speak) and said something like “I was pretty sure I saw that earlier when she was down in that area!” And I said “me too!!!” It was so funny.

But of course he didn’t say anything because the Nazi sono tech, who apparently likes it really quiet in her room, may have gotten “hot under the scrub!”

Anywho, we made her double, double check that what we had there were NOT boy parts and were GIRL parts. And, yes, they certainly ARE! : )

Here’s the only sono pic she gave me, which is her facing us with her little hand below her chin. I know it may be hard for some of you to see, but I can see her looking right at me! hee hee…. My prediction is that she will look more like her brother The B Man than her brother Little G. We shall see…


Tim and I are elated. Obviously if the news had been opposite we would still be happy to add a little boy to our family, but we are quite excited to be able to experience both.

I was a little “off” for the rest of the day yesterday, thinking about all things girl, mostly the cute shoes I get to shop for (!), but also other things that you have to “worry” about having a girl, vs. boys. I’m sure it will be on a mind a lot.

And of course now we have to choose a name. I think we have pretty much settled on something already but I’m not sure I will share before she’s born. And I’m not completely sure about it but Tim certainly seems to be. Oh and that’s JUST the first name. The middle name is still in debate for sure!

Thanks again to everyone for your sweet comments here and on FB, etc. I’m so happy that many of you are on this journey with us. Isn’t it fun?

  2. I am so very happy for you! As you know, this was my dream for a long, long time. I am gonna live vicariously thorugh you, m’kay?

    Bug happy hugs!

  3. How exciting I almost feeling a want to have another baby 🙂 congratulations again. Your boys must be excited to have a baby sister. 🙂

  4. They say girls are harder to raise in the teenage years and based on my behaviour…..yup, my poor mom. But 21 on has been amazing and we are closer than ever. Plus she will have 2 older brothers to keep her in line and protect her….no worries!!!
    Can’t wait to hear about your shopping finds for little girls!!
    Ebay Robeez!!!

  5. Elaine, we are so very happy for you. Most importantly, that all things look healthy. Secondly, that you get to experience both worlds. Boys and girls, they do come out differently. Best of luck with the remainder of the pregnancy, and feel free not to share the name. We will get to find out soon enough (he he). Hug that baby girl and those adorable boys for us.

  7. Congratulations, I am so happy you’re having a girl. Every parent should have one of their own gender to torture them.

    Little girls are so much fun, Tim will have a blast having a daughter.

  10. So excited to be able to share a little piece of this journey along with you through blogger. Can’t wait to hear all about the progress and changes. YAY for PINK

  11. How exciting!!

    And CONGRATULATIONS!! Glad to hear that everyone is healthy and that you get to have a little pink in your house!

    🙂

  12. Oh, yay!!! You’ll finally get some pink in your house!

    I am a mom to two boys and then a girl, and while I love my boys to pieces and am over the moon for them, I think the day my doctor told me I was having a girl was one of the happiest ever. She has added a certain softness to our family and we all adore her. (But it’s so much more expensive for me to have a girl. Everything is cuter!)

    Congrats again!!!

  17. I am so thrilled for you guys (partly as i said before because it gives me hope lol). I just thought i would let you know i am doing a really fun girly giveaway over at my blog. I hope you stop by.

  20. I cannot believe you tech was so RUDE. Ugh. And only one shot of your little princess? So NOT fair. I’m glad, though, that everything looks good. And I’m elated that you’re having a sweet little girl. Since you’re due at the beginning of October, I wonder what the chances are she’ll come a little early? Maybe on my birthday? You know, Lisa had her baby on my birthday. And I have another friend who did too! And BJ was born the day before. It’s a lucky day!! 9/25

    Anyway, I’m over the moon for you girl. You’re going to have SO MUCH FUN shopping. Yes, the shoes are wonderful. So are the hats, bows, tights, tutus, ruffles, lace, and bathing suits! FUN all the way around.

    Congratulations to you and Tim, again!!

  21. Aww….so happy for you!!! Hubs & I had the rare opportunity to be in a store together ALONE the other day and there was the biggest assortment of the cutest baby girl rompers for summer! We both immediately went “AWWWWW!”

    Not that two boys isn’t a huge blessing and a lot of fun, but I’m sure this will bring your family a NEW kind of fun. Possibly best of all the sweetness your boys will show their baby sister. 🙂

    {sniff sniff}

    (Wow – when did I get so sappy?!?)

  22. I have enjoyed reading your blog.
    I am new to the blog world, but have seen the miracle of the blogging community and prayer in the last two days. Hope you will stop by my blog and pray for little Maggie.

  24. I love it. :o) You will have so much fun with your little princess!! I love it that she’s got Daddy wrapped around her baby finger already.

  26. YAY!

    I am so excited, you will have so much fun!

    That being said, after two boys, I pulled that u/s out DAILY to re-check the girl parts!

  34. Hey Elaine-
    So, I have been so busy and have just caught up on all your news- both moving and the baby girl. Wow!!! I am so excited that you are having a girl. You are just going to love it. Good luck with your move. I’ll keep updated via the blog.

  35. Congratulations on the baby girl news!

    I have 2 girls and would love to have a little boy. Funny huh? 🙂

    I know what you mean about looking at baby girl clothes, they are soooo cute, and there are always more baby girl clothes than boy clothes.

    Congrats too on the move. Hope all goes well.
