My maternal instincts

WERE TOTALLY OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The "baby whisperer" was right again.




I have to say that I am totally in shock! I told the ultrasound tech (who is SO fabulous) that we already have two boys and I know for a fact that this one is a boy, too. Scott, of course, sat there sticking with his feeling that it is a girl. She was doing all of her measurements and then stopped and looked at me and said 100% girl. I about freaked!!!! I'm not sure if I let out a squeal or not, but I just burst into tears. We are so so excited and more than anything so thankful to see that she has all of her fingers and toes and organs and looks great!
Ethan stuck to his guns this whole time in saying that it is a girl. He was so excited when I told him after school and had to say. "Hey Mom, I was right and you were wrong." I wonder how many more times he will say that to me in his life.

My friend Andrea (who has two girls) responded: "welcome to the world of hair bows". WHOA! This freaked me out a little. I don't even have hair myself! I haven't put a ponytail in for about 10 years. I have made some low quality attempts on my nieces, but they were not great. My poor little girl may look rough! I do, however, remember how to french braid.

Needless to say we are excited and ready for this new chapter! Thank you to everyone who has been calling, texting, and emailing today to find out the big news. It has meant so much to me!

Big hugs!

Heck yes you know how to french braid! I loved coming to your house to get my hair braided... plus, your mom rocked at the 'fish' inside-out braid. Any names picked out yet?
