The long wait is over and finally know what BabyP3 is....we get to round out our family with a little GIRL!!! I had a gut feeling it was a girl the whole pregnancy but after having two boys I still had my doubts and wouldn't have been surprised if it was another boy. We are all beyond excited to experience all things girl and can't wait to meet our daughter Hayley Ann Mae.
We had our 20 week ultrasound on the Friday and we bought the boys with us. The were both so excited to be seeing their baby move around and Chase could pick out the eyes and nose, hands and feet. He loved seeing the baby kick around and about fell out of his chair when the baby waved at him. I about fell off the bed with watching our oldest clearly show his love for his sibling that he hasn't even met yet. Seeing both of our boys waving at the screen gave me all the feels. Both of the boys came out with some classic questions; Chase asked the tech "where is the baby's penis?' followed by Asher asking, "if the baby has nipples." oh these boys of mine - always the entertainment wherever we go!
We didn't find out the gender at the ultrasound this time. With it being our last baby we thought it would be fun to find out with our parents. I'm so glad we decided to do it this way as it made it all the more exciting. We got together for lunch and set off party poppers to find out if it was a he or she. Most people had guessed it would be another boy so there was a lot of yelling and cheering when out popped pink streamers!!! Not going to lie I welled up finding out the news. I love my boys something fierce but have always wanted to experience having a daughter - but wasn't sure if it was going to become a reality.
Having difficulty getting pregnant was a surprise to us but I do believe God has his own timing and I've always trusted that. Him giving us this little girl is such a blessing on top of getting pregnant and I couldn't thank Him more. So far we have had a smooth pregnancy and pray it continues to stay that way.
We have a very busy fall and January will be here before we know and we finally get to hold our little girl! Until then you will find me decorating her nursery and buying all the hairbows on earth.
