She looks perfect and we are thrilled. I thought I wanted a herd of boys, but I've been giddy all day, so I'm thinking I must have secretly wanted a girl all along.
Ian and Joseph definately wanted a baby sister, and when we picked them up after the appointment they were both waiting eagerly to hear the news. Ian kept asking "Is it a sister, Mom? Is it a girl baby?"
We waited to tell them until we were in the car and could video tape them. The video is pretty anticlimactic, but there were a couple gems. Ian was thrilled and requested she arrive tomorrow. He has also been explaining (in detail) how he will hurt people that try to bite his little sister. Joseph declared we would name her Spike. I think if we name her Spike, she probably won't need Ian to defend her!
I think Scott was pulling for a girl. He is such a great Dad, and I can't wait to see him with our daughter. Our daughter!
She is due June 24 and is measuring right on time. I am really excited about all the prep "needed" for a baby girl, and can't wait to get started making bows and painting the world pink. And luckily, I already have a stash of baby dresses I've been collecting for 3 years.
Also, we are now accepting advice on how to raise a daughter. I remember when I thought raising a boy was such a mystery, but now I feel clueless all over again!
