And "it" is a ...

At 1:50pm on September 19, 2012 we found that you, our baby, are a little girl. Finding out you were a girl was a surprise as EVERYONE thought for sure we would have a boy. I couldn't be more happy that they were wrong. Of course, I would love you no matter what the gender but knowing that God knew you before you were created is amazing to me and your dad. You already have 3 girl cousins to play or grow up with! I am even more excited about being pregnant now that I can put a category to you instead of "it". You now are my little, growing girl. You are 9 in long and weigh about 9oz. You are growing and developing as you should. Your heart rate has been the same the last two visits, around 140 (this makes the whole "girls have fast heartbeats" theory wrong). I have gained 4lbs, I can thank my sickness for that. Praise God that that has gone away and I can/am eating all the time! Your dad and I have agreed on a name but I will probably do a separate post on that later. We can now pray for you by name, which we did last night. It was emotional, for me, just knowing that we are praying for our little GIRL. Everyone is so excited to meet you.
