It's a...

We had our 20 week ultrasound last week. The baby looks to be happy and healthy. Which is wonderful news... and reassuring to this worry wart.

According to the technicien the baby is a girl. I can hardly believe it. I was really feeling the 'boy vibe'. I had been secretly (or not so secretly to some) hoping we would be blessed with a little girl. A little someone to sew dresses and skirts for and to dress in pink and purple and yellow and red. I feel very, very blessed to be given the opportunity to mother both a boy and girl. I imagine the experience is similar but somewhat different... or maybe it is totally different (I'll soon find out). What will be the same is the intense love and joy I'm sure.

Only 4 and a half months to go. It seems like a long way away. I can't wait to see her face and hold her in my arms. Introduce her to her big brother. Experience what it feels like to be a family of four. The idea is both scary and thrilling.
