GIRL!!!
Aside from our wedding and engagement, Friday had to be the BEST day of our lives! I know I tried to play neutral about wanting either a boy or a girl, but my heart has always longed for a daughter. I just never thought it would actually happen. I always figured I was destined to be a mother of three boys (not that that would be a bad thing), but God is so good and has answered my prayers and I am beyond humbled with this huge blessing!
After a long day of surviving work with jumbled nerves, we made it to our 2:30 appointment at the hospital. Once we got all settled in the exam room, our ultrasound technician asked us if we wanted to find out the sex, which of course we did! As she moved the wand around my stomach, it was a little hard to tell what we were looking at with the baby moving around so much, but I could tell at one point we were looking at the bottom and legs. She quickly informed us that it was a GIRL!
I made her confirm about 5 times before tears of pure joy began streaming down my face! I don't think I have ever been so happy in my entire life! I still can not even believe it. At this moment, I feel like my life could not possibly get any better and I know that it will when she arrives, which means my heart might explode!
Mason is equally overjoyed and the thought of him being a father to our little girl makes me just melt inside! We were additionally blessed to learn that our baby girl is growing right on track and weighs in at a whopping 7 ounces. She has 10 fingers, 10 toes and the doctor described her as "perfect" which made me cry all over again!
Prayers of thanks won't ever be enough for my gratitude over our little girl! In a way it feels like our lives are just beginning and I look forward to this new season of life as a mother to our sweet baby girl.
And now.... let the shopping begin! :)
