Baby #5

 I know you technically can't pick the gender of your babies but I always, sort of, have.  I've been feeling the missing presence of a little boy for a while now so was excited to hear that our little baby was going to be a boy.  

But it's a girl!

I still don't know how to process this news.  I feel completely unprepared to have another little girl since I had been envisioning my little boy.  And no, I don't think I can do this again.  I feel like my body is getting too old for this.  I know I will fall in love with this little girl but today I am just shocked.

You sound exactly like I did when I found out Camille was a girl. I knew I was done having children after her pregnancy and was heart-broken for months about not having another little boy. Of course I wouldn't trade her for the world and knew that I would love her every bit as much as a little boy but I was also shocked. I like to think of the little boy's presence as being my future grandson.

Wow! So excited....5 kids. You are awesome. Glad Jack had a good day. What a good kid. The story about the prayer choked me up a little bit. Tate loved going to the movie with him! So number six going to be the boy???!

Wow, a girl!!!! Congratulations!!!!

I did the same thing with Owen, I could have bet my house that I was having a girl, even wore a pink shirt to the ultrasound. I about fell off the table when they showed me we were having a boy.
