the results are in…
We had our ultrasound today at 21 weeks. I was so anxious all day waiting until the 2:00 appointment time. I couldn’t do anything productive. Most of all we were so glad to find everything seems as healthy as possible with our baby. Second of all, we were thrilled with this news:
The odds were completely against us (knowing that the Smiths have lots of boys in the extended fam. Jimmy has 9 boys and 3 girlies in his family. None of his siblings have more than one girl.) I kept feeling like our baby was a girl, but wondered if it was hopeful thinking.
Hannah was completely elated at the news. Her message to family, “We have some VERY exciting news… we’re having a GIRL!!”. The day I told her a little sister 9 years younger would look up to her and want to be just like her, Hannah got stars in her eyes and couldn’t stop smiling. Let’s hope she’s still smiling when she’s 16 and sharing a room with a 7 year old.
Abe – not so excited. His message to family, “We are having a baby. Today we found out it is a girl. I am so mad. Ok, bye.” After I told him that I thought he would love our baby girl the most and help keep her safe and be a protective big brother, he seemed a little softened.
Max is at a funny stage and will only call babies, “Babies”… they aren’t girls or boys… just “Babies.” We’re trying to convince him that the baby in mom’s tummy is a Girl Baby. We’ll see how that sits with him. Truman – eh – he’s clueless at this point.
Jimmy – he said he was truly surprised. Grandma Smith said it was a MIRACLE. Grandma Price cried with JOY for all of us. As for me… I didn’t even cry (another miracle)… but I smiled… really big. We’ll be excited to meet our newest family member in 18 weeks (wow – that sounds like a long time!).
Oh yayyyy that’s so exciting!
Oh, wahoo!!! I am so happy for you!!!
YEAH!!! We are so excited for you. This is great news.
Didn’t I say to you at Stake Conference that I thought you were going to have a girl? I love it! I’m all smiles for you! :)
Oh, how I love my girls.
Congrats! How fun. Oh precious little babies. Love them.
So exciting! I’m glad you are evening things out a bit more. And it is very exciting for sweet Hannah. Hope your pregnancy continues to go well!
Congratulations, Heather! Of course, we love girls around here. So sweet, so special! Maybe you’ll send some boy vibes our way? :) Glad all is well and I’m so excited to get to share this birth/new baby adventure with you!
Hurray!!!!! I am so excited for you!
Hooray hooray!!! I’m so happy for you Heath! I’ve been thinking of you and hope you’re feeling well. So neat for your family to have another sweet little girlie. I’m sure Hannah is so happy, I love that she got stars in her eyes thinking this little sister will want to be just like her. She will have 2 wonderful examples to follow in her sister and her mother! And such protection from all those brothers. They will all adore her!
