He said it without any build up. It was just a fact. He said "It's a girl" as he might have said "It's a baby."
It didn't process in my mind. I waited, knowing he must have missed something and would at any moment say "oh, look at that, a boy." But he carried on, pointing out how it was certainly a girl and I finally said, "but, are you sure?" In my mind, he just couldn't be telling the truth. He said he was "200%" positive.
Kevin and I looked at eachother. Kevin believed him, I could tell. His eyes were happy and said "aren't you so excited?!" I was excited! but is it real?? The man was nice. He patiently showed me again and again "see, nothing there" he'd say. A girl! Really. A girl.
As we walked through the mall my eyes took new interest in The Childrens Place, and Baby Gap. I saw twin baby girls and thought "I'm going to have one of those!" I had dreams about it all night and woke up thinking it was just a dream. But no!
We didn't think we cared, we really didn't. Six boys sounded like a lot of crazy fun and I was ready for that. But we are both SO excited!
I have a feeling life will never be the same.
Yay! Congratulations! Life has led me to an office career and a closet blogger :) I entertain the office ladies with your adorable stories about the boys and I just let them know your having a girl and we all cheered ha ha!
ReplyDeleteYES. BFF's. I already got you/myself a present to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteOh!!!!! Hooray! I'm thrilled for you! Another baby! And a girl!! That just makes my day! Congratulations to you and Kevin and all your boys!! What wonderful big brothers they'll be to a tiny sister!
ReplyDeleteYay!! I'm so excited for you!! I was the same way with Baylie...I didn't believe it until she was born...there is nothing quite like having a little girl!! There are so many options and cute things to make!! Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am soooo happy for you! Enjoy all of the planning for your little girl. EEEEKKK!!!!
ReplyDeleteHooray! That is so fun, I am so excited for you. Those boys are going to adore that little girl.
ReplyDeleteThat is so great! What a spoiled thing she will be.
ReplyDeleteWe have never met but I would give you a hug if I saw you because I am so happy for you!! With FIVE older brothers this girl is going to be one tough cookie with a big bow on her head! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteI am beside myself. Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you (and Lizzy is too) we chatted about it this morning! Pink! I think there needs to be a shower since you don't have any pink stuff!
ReplyDeleteTHIS MADE MY DAY! Welcome to the world of tutus, bows, dresses and sparkle shoes! Girls are simply fabulous. So happy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely going to be a very loved and very protected little sister.Congratulations! Do you have any names yet?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This little one will be so lucky to have to five older brothers to look out for her. Now you will need a new blog name : )
ReplyDeleteHaving a girl is so much fun! Seriously, you'll wonder what you ever did without her.
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly...Life just took a new turn! Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut I do have questions....So far has this pregnancy seemed different in any way? More symptoms, less, or about the same? Did you have a clue you were having a girl? What do your boys think of this so far? Maybe you could fill us in on a blog post. :)
I'm already looking forward to the picture of you at the hospital, with your 5 little gents surrounding their little baby sister.
It is adorable that you weren't convinced! Ahh, CONGRATS!!! I'm going to have to send you lots and lots of bows :)
ReplyDelete(ps- I love that book- what is it? I would love to see what it says about my boys names)
Congratulations! We don't know each other, but we have met once at Christina B.'s mothers group. Anyway, I am wondering (since I have 4 boys) if you did anything different to get a girl this time? I know....maybe that's too personal, and I don't want details! Just curious if you have done anything different with vitamins, timing, etc. to have a girl on the way. I'd SO love a girl.
ReplyDeleteHi KB! The timing was the only thing I can think of. We weren't really trying, so I am certain that the only time it could have happened was pre-ovulaton, about a week after my period. Maybe that's too much information, but maybe it will be helpful=) Good luck!
