It's A Girl!

 I was okay with Jackson being a boy. He was my first, so it seemed right. I pretty much knew he was a boy even before the ultrasound. We even had his name picked out before I was pregnant...despite not planning to get pregnant for a while. And when he was born, we were so in love with him! He was perfect in every way, especially being super cute. Dressing a little boy has been more fun then I ever imagined it would be...and of course that's pretty important to me. ;)

 But ever since he was born, I've been dying to have a girl. I didn't even want to get pregnant for a long time (still don't.) But somehow I wanted a little girl. When I did find out I was pregnant again, the happiest part for me was the small hope that I might have a girl. But the more I thought about it, the more I knew I was just going to be disappointed. It would be too amazing, too perfect. Things in my life never go how I want them to...way to be optimistic, I know.
 So when the ultrasound technician said she was a girl...I was surprised and not sure I believed it. I asked her if she was sure, could she check again? Was she 100%? :D haha. She checked about three times, and told me that there was no 100% certainty until the baby is born, but she was pretty confident that this looked as much like a girl as she had ever seen.

 I couldn't stop grinning. And I'm still having a hard time believing it. Now that we know she's a girl, we're having a hard time getting use to referring to baby as a she. After having a boy for two years, it just doesn't roll off the tongue right.
 We'll be as use to it as we are excited before too long though. And now I'm trying to decide where to start in preparing to have a baby girl.

 Well I guess we have to get moved to a new house first...so lots of cleaning and packing for now. Fun times.
