And Everything Nice

That's what little GIRLS are made of.

So, I believe the exact words of the ultrasound technician were: "It looks like you are evening out your team! Your daughter will be thrilled... It's a GIRL!"

These words struck me for a few different reasons.

 First, I was 100% sure that this baby was a boy. I will quote my saintly mother, who had seven boys and three girls, for this one:

"We only know how to make boys."

Second, Our "Team"?!? Yeah, I guess we are starting to look like that...

And last, my dad would say with each birth of his sons that he was so happy because things were "ALMOST evened out"...even when the boys TRIPLED our numbers. So, I guess when people say that things are getting evened out I simply don't believe them.

Sarah was thrilled. She was ecstatic. She was speechless. And those of us that know our sweet princess also know that speechless comes around, ummmmmm.....never.

Matt just stood there in the ultrasound room, beaming. It was dark, but I could see the same face I saw over 6 years ago. He was going to hold another princess in his arms. God had given us another healthy baby. So grateful, my Matt. Always so grateful.
