Days after we found out about Mark’s job we were able to have our big ultrasound for our growing little baby. This was great timing to give us a big pick-me-up!
My parents had come up to help me clean and finish up some projects around the house (so we could put our house up for sale). Mark couldn’t get the time off and so I was just planning on going to my OB appointment alone while my parents watched the kiddos. But my Mom asked if she could go and it was actually really neat to have her there.
We are so excited to be having a healthy, baby GIRL!
She is growing and developing just as she should be. We did hit a first with our little miss as she is measuring small. With all of my other kiddos, at this stage, I have been measuring anywhere from a week to 10 days ahead of schedule. This little girl is actually measuring a little small (which I am hoping doesn’t mean I will be late!). But she is doing great and we are thrilled to have another little girl join our family. It feels just perfect.
There was honestly not a SINGLE person who thought we were having a boy. Everyone thought we were having a girl – so luckily there was no disappointment. When I got home I sat Jacob and Sarah down to tell them. Sarah has been DEFINITE that we were having a girl. She wouldn’t even entertain the thought of it possibly being a boy beforehand. I kept trying to tell her that it could be a boy, and she was adamant that it wasn’t. When I told Jacob and Sarah I thought there would be some big positive reaction from Sarah and…nope. NOTHING. She just continued cutting the paper she was cutting and just said, “yep” in the most casual voice ever. I guess she just knew!
We cannot wait to have this little girl join our family. She is so loved already. Her siblings have BIG plans for her…I hope she is ready for them!!!
We love you, baby sister.
