Gonna have to change my name!

Well, in case you haven't heard, I'm no longer just "raizin3boyz"!

I had completely resigned myself to "raizin4boyz"...an easy change. Just buy another bunkbed, as Michael said. However, this little girl is sure turn things upside down around here! Now, Michael said we need a new house! (Later...I'm too tired right now!)

I went for the appointment at the perinatologist because I'm "advanced maternal age" which is just a nice way of saying, "Lady, you're getting too old for this." (I admit. I AM getting to old for this!) Thankfully, this was our first appointment at the specialist that didn't result in more issues and concerns over the health of the baby. However, I just couldn't believe that we, Michael and I, without trying, could actually make a GIRL. You know, we are consistent people. Therefore, it had to be another boy. That's just what we do.

The majority of those who voiced their opinion on the gender of this baby said "girl"...mainly because I have been so sick. (17 weeks and still pukin'...and I'm not a puker!) However, I needed confirmation from a second sono tech before I could believe it. The lady who did the ultrasound at the perinatologist's office actually got Landon wrong at first, so you understand my reason to doubt her. I gently explained that she was wrong last time. When she said, "There's nothing there. It's a girl." I think that I sucked all the air out of the room and even hit her on the leg! She wasn't too impressed with me after that and didn't do anything above and beyond on that precious sono...or maybe she just wasn't that into my boring, singleton pregnancy.

Then, the doubts began to creep in. What if she was wrong, and I had to return the pink stuff again? What if cleared out all the baby boy stuff, and then baby sprouted "something"? What if I entertained the idea of hairbows, prom dresses and a wedding, and we had to let that go again. I needed confirmation. So, I went to one of those stand alone ultrasound places (Visions of Love Ultrasound in Denton), and I'm so glad I did! I explained the situation, and she carefully checked from every angle this child's nether regions. Then, she said, "I don't know what you're gonna do with this one. It's definitely a girl!" She, S-H-E, is adorable! She is squirmy, leggy, and has a cute button nose. :)

So now it's time to come up with a new screen name...maybe "2raizin4"...or "raizin3boyzandapinksurprise" or "raizin3boyzandasister"??? Let me know if you think of something. My brain is taxed already trying to wrap my head around this sweet girlie gift we've been given! Thank you, God, for little Jemma. SHE's a precious jewel.
