Today I Bought a PINK Dress

it's a girl 008

That’s right!  Miracles do happen and I finally get to have a GIRL!  I thought I would cry when I found out it was going to be another boy, but it turns out I was going to cry either way!  And let me tell you, it has been a very surreal morning.  The ultrasound tech kept saying “she” and “her” and I couldn’t help but feel like she was talking about someone else’s baby.  I couldn’t even make my mouth form the words!  They got stuck in my throat as I tried to say them!  And then there was the shopping experience.  I have purposefully always avoided the girls sections-so I wouldn’t covet something I might never get or feel sad.  Today as I ventured into those territories hitherto unknown I felt like I was an outsider, a criminal, like the store clerk was going to come over and ask me what on earth I was doing in the GIRL’S section!  I was prepared to show her my ultrasound pictures and prove that I am now a card carrying member of the girls clothes section! 

I have waited for this day for so long and I am so very grateful that my prayers (and my boys prayers!) have been answered.  What a happy day!  I wonder when I’ll stop crying!

I need to start shopping for Baby Girl Hymas too!! Love ya, NancyP.S. Don't come complaining to me when she is 12 and going through puberty and tell me how much easier boys are at that age–your day will come!! So, enjoy the bows while they last!!
