Boy? Girl?

October 21, 2014 by Bethany Sy

We had another ultrasound. This time we brought the girls.

The clinic spoiled us this time by using equipment that was manufactured this century.

The ultrasound went on and on while the tech measured tiny perfect body parts and showed us bitty little feet, etc. And finally I said… ‘you already know the gender DON’T YOU!’

And she said yes.

Then she was silent again for what felt like forever. WHAT IS SHE WAITING FOR!

It's a GIRL! {Sawdust and Embryos}

I think she just wanted make us explode with anticipation.

IT’S A GIRL!!

And we couldn’t be happier! The girls are so excited to have another sister too. We think we do girls pretty well.

I wasn’t going to do anything special for our gender reveal… I’m not creative with stuff like that. But my friend Lindsey had the idea to do little pink handprints on my belly, and I couldn’t NOT do it! Especially since we all love to paint around here.

I must be still getting used to the size of my belly, because when I carrrefully stooped down to pick up the pot of paint out of the grass, by belly pressed against my pants… wet paint and all. OOPSY! Nothin’ a little rubbing alcohol and toothbrush can’t take care of.

We’re overjoyed and can’t wait to meet our little girl! We have a handful of names we’re tossing around, but we’re keeping names a secret until her big arrival! Thanks for following along on this exciting journey with us!

    Congrats! I have a 4 1/2 yr old daughter and just had another daughter last week. It’s great and I didn’t have to buy much since we already have lots of girls clothes from the first girl.

    Congrats! 🙂 I am about to have my third (and last) boy, and while I was initially disappointed not to get a girl, I am over the moon to have three of the same. Very happy for you. 🙂

    Three girls will be awesome! I come from a family of four girls; we may have some disagreements and be mad for a while at each other, but in the end, there are no better best friends in the world than my sisters! Congratulations and bring on the pink!

      6 boys, that is awesome. I was the oldest of 2 girls. My mom had one sister, my dad had one sister, my grandmother had one sister. A line of girls. My oldest is a girl, then I had 3 boys. My sister has a boy. My mom swore she did not want boys, when I was pregnant with my 2nd child, I found out the gender and it was a boy, my mom had me stressed about a boy for months. Then my son was born and she was a convert. She laughs that 4 of her 5 grandchildren are boys and she thought she didn’t like boys, she adores them!! God gives what you need!!
