Its a......

 I cannot explain to you the Joy that I have to know that God has given us a pregnancy with a sweet little girl. Dave and I did not find out the gender of either of the boys during my pregnancies. It was so fun not knowing boy or girl and having the surprise in the delivery room. This time.... I needed to know.  Basically with both Eli and Jude I had not a care if it was a boy or a girl. With E either way I would be a mother for the first time, and with Jude I was going to be thrilled to have a girl and thrilled to have a brother for Eli. This time, I knew that in my heart I was desperately wanting to be a mother to a bundle of pink and I thought that if that was my desire and God had other plans in mind, that I should find out ahead of time to prepare for being a mom of boys, and so that there would be no disappointment in the delivery room. BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE!!!!!!!!

We went to Ultrasauna a 3D ultrasound place that can tell you if you are having a boy or a girl early. We went in at 15.5 weeks. Both boys were there and got to see the baby on a big screen while sitting with daddy!! It was so cool and totally worth the 60 bucks we spent on it. In my heart I think I had prepared myself to hear its a boy! And was really expecting for the ultrasound tech to say those words exactly. Baby was not being very cooperative during our time and I thought, "Well maybe this is our sign to just wait anyways!" And then just as we were about to give up, the baby moved and the tech said, "ITS A GIRL!!!!"  I know that I had a look of shock. And tears began streaming down my face!!!  Thrilled beyond words to get to be the mommy of a litttle princess. And feeling so loved by a God who heard the desires of my heart.
