Am I ready for 3?

Well I guess we can't keep it to ourselves forever, even though most of our friends and family know. But yes if any of you have heard we are expecting our third baby in January! The due date is the 12th, but if I have any say in it we will be having it as early as possible. We would love to have a New Years baby, maybe if we were lucky we could be the first and get free diapers or some other cool gift! Yeah Right!! It would take a miracle for me to go that early on my own.
This afternoon Cort and I went in for my monthly appt. and ultrasound. After three hours we came out with the best news EVER. After almost four years we are finally having a little GIRL!!!!!!! I don't even think it has sunk in yet. I love my boys and would have enjoyed another one, but there is something about a mothers need for a little girl. I think everyone had their fingers crossed for us. So for all of you who were finger crossing with us Thank You! I had myself convinced it was a boy so when she said girl I teared up a little bit. (That is usually Cort's job) I even think our doctor's response was almost bigger than ours. She and I have had our kids at about the same time and she got her girl the second time and knew how much I wanted one. We do go in again in four weeks for another ultrasound, because the little stinker
was all balled up and the tech couldn't see some things clearly. Hopefully we can have an even bigger confirmation that she is a girl. I still have this fear that I will be all hyped up about a girl and have everything ready for her and she comes out a boy. I guess it is because when it is a boy they are almost always correct. But when it is a girl there is room for surprises!
Well whatever the end result is I will still be happy to have a little blessing from heaven. For right now I am ecstatic that it is a GIRL!!!! I just can't stop smiling, saying it and thinking about it. Bows, tights, dresses, cute shoes, and anything else girlie here I come!!!!!!!!!
