I got some interesting news today!

If you remember, I had an ultrasound when I was 12 weeks pregnant. The ultrasound tech said that she couldn't say it with 100% accuracy since we were only 12 weeks along but that she was fairly certain we were having a boy. She showed us what looked like boy parts and we agreed that it sure looked like a boy! I've had 2 boys and it didn't look much different from their u/s pics, albeit smaller.

So today, I went in for my mid-pregnancy ultrasound. The tech asked if I wanted to know the gender and I said yes. Imagine my surprise to find out that the baby we believed to be a boy for he last 2 months, is in fact a girl!

Aria is beyond thrilled.

I'm happy too, for several reasons.

1. Everything is still even. Having a boy would have thrown off my desire to have things be even. 2 boys, 2 girls.
2. I adore my boys, and would have loved another one, but I really wanted Aria to have a sister. There's nothing like the relationship between sisters.
3. I knew I'd keep trying for a girl. I really, really don't enjoy being pregnant and now I don't feel even a teensy bit guilty for wanting to stop. Or at the very least take a nice long break.

Want to see the pictures?

    Yea for baby girls! I'm happy for you and Aria. I know she really wanted a sister. Remember how special sisters are when they are fighting over wearing each others clothes. :) We'll have three little girl granddaughters with in 6 months of each other. How fun! I wonder if they will share clothes? :)
