I’m SO excited! A whole new world is opening up to me, a club I thought that I’d never be able to join. And yet, here I sit – about to be a Mommy to a GIRL! I have always dreamed of having a girl, and yesterday in a whirlwind of amazement we found out that our current pregnancy is undoubtedly producing PINK! We’re having a baby girl in December!

As the realization sets in I’m just so grateful. I wondered for years if I’d ever get my turn to shop the pink aisles, sew frilly sweet things, plan a wedding. Now with all the butterflies in my stomach I’m also feeling a huge sense of humility and thankfulness for this little baby. I can’t wait to meet her, she is so loved already. Our four boys are ecstatic, they wouldn’t accept any other option, to them it was a girl from the get go. But having four little men in a row jaded Nathan and I a bit and we were unsure whether to even entertain the idea of a girl. Now we know she’s on the way and Nathan is so jazzed. Last night on our way to Target he says “I think we need to make a pact, that this baby will not wear any “mediocre outfits”. Each outfit needs to be incredible!” – (um let me insert how much I fell in love with him at that moment, that’s like the DREAM statement for a girl to hear). And you all thought that I’d be trouble finding out a girl was on the horizon, Nate is going to be just as bad as I am! grin

So now with the synopsis: we decided to go to a 3D/4D ultrasound place while we’re on vacation in Palm Desert. We chose 3D Angel Babies and boy am I glad we did. The place we incredible, beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. Each ultrasound room is decked out to the nines with gorgeous pregnancy & baby photography, huge comfy couches for your family and friends to attend. In fact you can bring up to 10 people to view along with you, on a few giant screens. It was AWESOME and I highly recommend the experience. The tech was sweet and showed us all of the gorgeous baby expressions, everything you could want to help bond with your child. We found out she was a girl within the first two minutes, they do it right away for you. As soon as we confirmed it was a girl Brigs was happy and started to head out the door! He got what he needed, and he was outta there – LOL it was so funny. Noah jumped up on the step stool beside me and patted my hand reassuring me “you’re going to be ok, you’re going to be ok”. And Joshy’s famous quotes of the day were “This is a Great Moment!” and “This is Joy!”. Dylan sat in amazement that he was actually getting a sister, he is so happy and facebooked the news right away for his friends to hear. And Nathan stood right up next to the screen examining all he could, grinning from ear to ear.

What can I say? 5 times the charm!! We’re having a girl!
