The night of November 3rd, just hours after getting the initial shock that we were expecting again, I made some comment to Marc about our baby and referred to the baby as a "she" without even thinking about it. I caught myself as soon as it came out and kind of shook my head, unsure of how/why it slipped out like that.
But, with every comment we've gotten over the last few months that would go along the lines of "I bet you're just hoping for it to be a little girl..." I would make sure to respond with "we will be so happy, whatever the baby's sex." And, I really meant it, too. I LOVE having boys and would love a whole house full of them!
Then, last night I had a dream that someone was handing me my baby and said, "here's your little daughter." So, I woke up this morning just wanting to finally get the answer to the big question. And, this is what we learned:
And, I have a hilarious husband, who will one day be famous for his comics. This is his interpretation of what we saw today:
There's a whole lot more running through my mind and heart, but that'll have to come a little later... it's precious nap time right now and with the sun shining, the windows opened and the birds chirping, I'm hungry for a little quiet time to do some private reflecting. The windows of heaven have definitely been opened on my little family.

I like Mark's drawing. When we saw Gabriel at seven weeks along I sobbed because I couldn't see anything but apparently everyone else did.
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! I'm sure your daughter will love having those two big brothers to look out for her in school. :)
Ha Ha....that totally made me laugh...sometimes that's how I see the ultrasound too! Congrats! It will be so fun for you to see how protective your little boys will be of this girl. My daughter has such a special relationship with her brothers. It will be fun...a little weird...all the girl stuff....but fun!
