Dave and I had the privilege of watching the newest member of our family wiggle and kick for over an hour today. Our newest addition, and our third baby girl looks happy, healthy and hyper.
We had our first gender peek for our new little bundle of joy about a month ago. When the ultrasound technologist told us our new baby was a girl, Dave and I were both surprised, and I was, ashamedly, very sad. I don't really understand why I've always wanted a boy or why I wanted one so badly this time around. I mean, I much prefer glitter and nail polish to tonka trucks and dinosaurs, but for some reason, I seem to think that having a little guy would be so much fun (in addition to my girls). But, it isn't like girls don't like to fish and camp. I always have. It isn't like girls don't enjoy getting dirty. The two girls I have are quite good at it. I'm positive the one on the way will be good at it too.
So, back to today....Today the technologist again confirmed what I had come to peace with in my heart- that we are completely and utterly, beyond imagination blessed with another sweet, beautiful baby girl on the way. I know God has big plans for this little girl. (My plans were that her anatomy would be completely different.) I know God has great purpose for this little girl- better than I could ever hope for or imagine. I know that Dave and I will love her with all of our hearts- just like we love the two intelligent, graceful, wonderful, beautiful little girls that we are already blessed with. I also know that we are having the darndest time choosing a name for this little one. But, we'll get there.
To our baby girl # 3: I haven't met you yet, but I love you. I know that you will bring more spunk and pizzaz to our lives than we can imagine, and that we will be utterly amazed by how you have been beautifully and wonderfully made. You are special to us, and I am thankful for who you are. I will dress you in pink, let you choose your favorite princess, and teach you about a heavenly Father that loves you more than I do. I am excited when I feel your constant wiggle in my tummy, and I am excited to see you for the first time. Love, Mom.
Thanks for reading. -Amber
I understand how you feel my first surprise baby girl is so bright and intellegent. I was however scared to death that she would be a boy. Now look at her being simply bombarded with little girls and blessing a mimi like no other.
