A Baby
Yesterday was my first doctor’s appointment (yes, I didn’t go in until I was over 19 weeks along. Blah, blah, blah, insurance, boring fiscal year baloney, etc).
The good news about waiting until you are 19 weeks along – besides the opportunity to give the nurse a scathing look behind her back when she asks if you’ve already had a positive pregnancy test (I’ll see your positive pregnancy test and raise you 6 weeks of nausea and 3 weeks of kicks in the stomach) – is that you get an ultrasound on the very first visit.
And not just any ultrasound.
THE ultrasound.
And, after confirming that our baby had four heart chambers and two kidneys and the requisite number of arms and legs, the ultrasound tech announced that this baby is a . . . .
I may possibly have burst into tears when she told me, I was so happy. With Ella, I didn’t feel like I had a strong preference for a boy or a girl, but this time, I was really hoping that it would be a girl.
(My favorite thing the ultrasound tech said to me was, “Okay, I’m going to turn it on 3D now. Your baby will look weird. Don’t freak out.”)
Congratulations! Little sisters are the best.
HOORAY!!! So thrilled for you!
Yay! Congratulations! I know exactly what you mean….I didn't have any strong preference for my first child, either (which was a girl), but I so wanted a girl (which I had) the second time. As you know, sisters are so much fun!
Congrats! So happy for you and your family!
YAY!! I had a feeling you'd be having a girl- I just did- haha- so excited for you!! Ella will be a great big sister!! sisters (As you know) are AWESOME!!
That's exactly how I felt when they told me Bradley was a boy. I wanted another boy so much. So I'm definitely happy for you and your second girl!
Yay! Having sister close in age (as you know) is the best!
HOOOOORAYYYYY!!!! (I couldn't get all my enthusiasm out in the very quiet doctors office yesterday, so I have to do it somewhere!)
I'm so excited that we're both having the same gender the second time around! How lucky for our first two to have a built in best friend, just like we had!
Another girl!! I'm so excited for you.
Congratulations! It will be so fun for Ella to have a sister.
Hooray! Another baby girl 🙂 how sweet!
EEEE! So exciting!! Now, let us all sing the sisters song from White Christmas!
Yay! So exciting! Congrats to Ella on the little seester!
So thrilled for you! Congratulations and welcome to the multiple girls club. I quite like it. 🙂
So exciting! As one of three girls myself, I quite approve.
Hooray for little girls! Also, hooray for the cool highlight the word thingy. That was awesome!
Congratulations!!!
Awesome. I, too, loved the highlighting thing. Fun! So exciting. We love girls!!!
Congratulations! Girls are so much fun! And you already have everything you need for a girl, so that's always a plus!
Yay! Such exciting news! I hope I get to meet her one day! We miss you guys!
