sisters

ok, i'll admit it. i'll be perfectly honest. when i was pregnant with #3, there was a large part of me that really hoped it would be a little boy. i already had 2 girls. i got to experience the joys of having girls. and i LOVED it!! it was wonderful. but, there was a part of me that wanted to know what it was like to have a son. to know if it was true that a relationship between a mommy and her boy was different than a relationship that a mommy has with her girl. when we had our ultrasound in april of this year, we decided we were going to find out the gender. we never did this the other 2 times. i was nervous, excited, trembly. first of all, was my baby healthy and looking good? check. all was fine. then the moment came. the tech went to get mike and she told us... "it looks like you're gonna have another girl!" i can't quite explain how i felt. i was thrilled but there was a eensy weensy part of me that was a tad disappointed. how foolish do i feel now? really? of course if we had had a boy, it would have been awesome and wonderful. but... we have a girl... and you know what? it's awesome and wonderful and amazing and fantastic!!! i absolutely love it! having 3 girls is a blessing and a joy! they will have so much fun growing up! our house is filled to the brim with pink and princesses and i'm in heaven! so, i'll be honest... having 3 girls, sisters, is something i'm extremely happy about!
