Bring on the Pink for Baby Girl Londyn!

Ever since I was 8 years old and my younger sister Malorie was born, I LOVED babies!  I would rock my younger siblings to sleep every chance I got and I think I was the “mini” Mom around the house.  I knew from that point on without a doubt that I was destined to be a mother. Well, that day is here for me!  As the last 18 weeks of pregnancy have gone by for me, I have OBSESSED about if we were going to have a boy or girl!  Deep down, I was praying for a little girl. Don’t get me wrong, I love little boys and have two amazing stepsons, but I grew up with 5 sisters and only two brothers so what in the world was I going to do with a little boy?? No pink? no bows? no shopping sprees with mom? All I know is “girls” so it would only be perfect that I have a girl, right?  But, in the back of my mind, I thought “why would I get what I want?”

Well, as my ultrasound appointment rolled around, Matt and I were both convinced that it would be a boy! With his track record of two boys we just knew it would be another boy and I would continue to be outnumbered by the testosterone in the house!   As I was on the ultrasound table waiting for the verdict of what our baby would be I kept waiting for her to say “It’s a boy.”  As she said these exact words, “well, she’s a GIRL,” I looked at Matt and the tears began to flow!  I am going to have my little girl!  The tears were tears of pure excitement, joy, and shock! It took Matt a couple of hours for it to sink in that he was having a girl- after all, all he know is little boys!  It took a couple of hours for it to sink in for me because for 18 weeks I just “knew” that I was having a boy!  Now that it is “real” for both of us…..we are having a GIRL!  We can’t wait to meet Londyn in October! Let the shopping begin
