We're having a GIRL!!!
Thursday Feb 10th, Gary and I packed up our 4 boys and headed to Tower Radiology for my ultrasound. I was excited, I was nervous, I was worried! My technician was super sweet b/c Ammon and Eli were NOT being very cooperative! She even got the boys a tin can full of coloring books and crayons to hold their attention. Right off the bat, we got a glimpse of ...nothing. I mean, we are SO used to being able to spot that "turtle" from a mile away. Gary and I gasped. Really? Is that it? Are you sure??? Of course, these thoughts were not vocalize out loud. I think Gary knew I would kill him because I was saying, "Oh my gosh it's a GIRL!" There was no room for doubting Thomas in my midst. After the head checks and heart checks, etc, etc. The tech wanted to be 100% positive it was a girl so she poked and prodded my tummy until little miss thing quit crossing her legs (she's already so modest!) and showed us her goodies. Turns out we were looking for 3 little lines. Man, this girl stuff is already hard! I mean, boys are a dead give away! Anyways, we found them! I held it together until we all filed out into the waiting room where several ladies counted the boys coming out, then saw me, then asked the question: "Did you get a girl this time?" I lost it! I started balling and smiling and shaking my head like a dumb idiot and bearing my testimony of prayer and receiving blessings when we put forth faith. There was such a peace that came over that room and several of them even gave an "Amen". :) We got in the car, bowed our heads, and through choked up voice and many tears expressed our gratitude that the Lord saw fit to answer our prayers and send us a baby girl to our family. Gary was a man of few words, he was a bit dumbfounded. The boys are ecstatic! and So am I!!!
