and the newest member of our family is ...

A GIRL!



Mike and I went to our 19 week appointment and decided not to have the technician tell us the gender, but instead write it down on a card so that we could have a private 'gender reveal' for ourselves. I, of course, was reading into everything and thought I heard her say HE during the appointment. After we left, I was way too giddy not to find out.  With the envelope in hand, we got into the car and went to open it.  I was looking out the window, practically screaming that I couldn't look, so Mike opened it and announced ... "We are having a ...... GIRL!!" I started screaming and we both teared up.  After two little boys, I can not believe that we are adding a little lady to our family.  I am so excited to see the father/daughter bond that Mike forms with her, and the way our boys will treat a little sister. (Declyn, by the way, called her a girl from day one and everywhere we go he talks about buying something for his baby sister.  He even told a stranger at the store that there was a baby in my tummy, and it was a girl.)  And I, obviously, can't wait to have a little girl to do all sorts of girlie things with! 





A little 4D action. 



She's covering her ears here. We were also told she's going to be in the 8 pound range (another reason I thought it was a boy -- I'm measuring further along then I actually am, meaning that she's big). And we got to see her put her fingers in her mouth and open and close her mouth.
