Back in April, I went to a really early ultrasound. I asked Theiny what I was having, and he said, “Either it is definitely a boy, or that is the umbilical cord.” But we agreed that it was more than likely my third boy. Sadly to say, I was a little bummed, but still wanted to tell everyone in a fun way. So I lifted Dash’s shirt, and drove to where Micah was and had Dash show him his “fat fat tummy”.
This is what it looked like:
Micah was excited, and Scout was thrilled, but Navy said, “I thought I was going to have a little sister!”
I told her I did too, but that another boy would be great!
Micah’s first reaction was, “Babe, I’m sorry. I know you wanted a girl, but this is awesome!”
I agreed, and the rest is history.

Until….I had my 20 week ultrasound at a high tech place because of my age being past 35. The guy wanted to know if I wanted to know the sex and I told him I already did. I told him it was a boy and that I had really wanted a girl but that I was wrapping my mind around it. His ultrasound was ridiculously thorough and it was about 15 minutes before he got to the “area”. When there, he said, “Now you said it was a boy, right?” I agreed, and he went on. Then he said, “But you wanted a girl?” I told him that I did. And he gave me the best six-worded surprise I’ve ever had!
“Well, you’ve got yourself a GIRL!”
I had a little guilt over being so excited, but that has passed, and I could not be happier!
Now don’t get me wrong….I LOVE boys!
But my sisters are too big a part of my life, to not have a sister for Navy.
So when I finally found out that Navy would have a sister, I was thrilled!
And so was Micah.
And Navy.
And possibly Dash.
But Scout was bummed.
He was hoping for his own little football team.
But what he forgets is… of all my kids, Navy may be the toughest linebacker there is.
