We had our big ultrasound yesterday and the results are ... (drum roll please) Sterling was right we are going to have to add some pink to the nursery decor. He is getting the little sister he wanted! We all kind of thought it was a girl for various reasons, I even caught myself calling her "she," but it is so good to finally know for sure. I know that now that we "know" we get to start hearing all of the stories about how they thought so-and-so was a girl too until he came out. While I know it is never 100% we have now seen a little boy on ultrasound and a little girl and the difference is pretty obvious. So if you have one of those stories, please don't share it!! Let us enjoy our lace and frills without worrying about the what ifs. If we end up being one of those we have lots of little boy stuff!
I am so excited to have a little girl, and I know that Sterling is going to be such a wonderful, protective big brother, which is what I have prayed.
We took him with us to the appointment. He was not very crazy about them touching me and pushing on my stomach. He is really becoming very protective. We explained to him that we were going to look at the baby's picture. Of course I'm sure while that concept was already difficult for him to understand I doubt he could tell that what he was looking at was a baby. Not that he was interested in anything on the screen, he just wanted them to leave me alone. When we got onto the elevator there was a baby with us and we pointed it out to him. He kept talking about the baby in the stroller. I really think he may have thought that was "his" baby, and we were supposed to be bringing it home.
I apologize for not posting this yesterday, but we got a cry for help upon arriving home from some friends who will be bringing home their baby in a few weeks and needed some help with the nursery. And on that note our little girl will have plenty of playmates because so many of our friends are having babies as well. There are five women in our small group, including me, who are expecting. One of them is a boy and the rest will be finding out soon! Such a fun thing with Sterling has been having so many friends who have children (mostly little boys) his age. And it seems as though our baby girl will have the same thing!
