I received quite a shock today! All along, the heartbeat has been rather low, like all three boys were, and when she said that the heartbeat was 135, I was just SURE it was another "lilguy" :) I had settled the "fact" that I wasn't going to have a daughter, and embraced my role as a mother of boys. Justin had a dream months before I got pregnant, that we had a girl. I didn't think much of it because I thought we were finished. When she said "sister" today I covered my face and just began to weep. Apparently the longing in my heart for a little girl of my own was deeper than I had realized! The boys prayed for a sister, but I was growing concerned that they would be disappointed since it was looking like it would be a boy. They are THRILLED to say the least! But not thrilled about how much longer they have to wait to see her!!! Well, what a day! I was COMPLETELY taken off guard, I think it will take a little while to really sink in! I get to shop in the pink section!!! This is not good..... ;)
