It's a.......

GIRL!!

We found out a little more than a week ago that we are having a little girl. It's really starting to seem real now that we know what's growing inside my belly. I have always grown up thinking I wanted to be a mom to 2 boys. And, all of the pregnancy "myths" were saying that this one was a boy. So, when the ultrasound tech told me it was a girl, I had to take a moment to absorb that. I certainly didn't have my heart set on a boy (and actually was surprised how impartial I was throughout those first 19wks) but I definitely needed a moment when she said "it's a girl." I looked over at Rian and was hoping he'd be smiling. He was. I shed one small tear down my cheek and then thought to myself, "we're having a baby girl!" I am so excited about having a daughter and hope and pray that we have the kind of relationship that my mom and I do. Dollhouses, Barbie's, baking cookies, etc. It's going to be a fun ride and I can't wait to see Rian interact with his little girl. We've got 2 friends who are both expecting boys and he's already told them their sons better "mind his manners around my daughter." Wow, we're going to have a daughter...I wasn't sure this moment would ever come...
