Three Hints.
I hope this isn't too hard.
No, they are not for my boys.
All systems seem to be GO that baby #5 is a GIRL!!!!!!
I am sure most of you have heard this little juicy tidbit of news way back in November when we found out and I posted it on Facebook to spread to the Glad tidings of Great Joy. Yesterday I ran into a friend at Target (Hi Tami, Love you!) and told her about the baby and she reminded me to write it on the blog. I forgot that there are some of us that THRIVE off of news from blogs (seriously, I do.) I love to see pictures and read any updates on your lives and it is like taking a peek into someone's life while being a fly on the wall. I get motivated to be better, more creative, more fun, happier, stronger, and love life by reading each of your blogs. THANK YOU. As for my news, so sorry to leave some of you hanging! That was so not fair...
Ok. Here is the scoop. Little girl on the way. Due date end of March-ish. I say that because my babies must not like it inside of me very much and they always come almost 3 1/2 weeks early. So, I can never actually believe in a due date. We'll see if it is different with a girl. She may be afraid to come out.
I would be if I had four older brothers...
Anyways, bare with me as I get more excited for this than anything in the whole world. I have been a mom now for almost 13 years. That is thirteen years without any trace of pink, except in my secret hope chest in my closet. Thirteen years without feeling legal to walk down the barbie isle in the store. Thirteen years hoping for a daughter to watch become a bride and mother someday. Ok, I won't gag you and go into the far (but all too near) distant future, but all I can say for the moment is this is just really fun.
Coming from a family with 6 girls, don't think I am not aware of the down sides, too. Now there will be TWO of us with ranging (did you notice that I did not put Raging?) emotions and I am sure there will be the drama moments. I guess I have gotten away with that excuse for too long anyways, that I am a girl and I say to my boys as I go into my room to crawl under a blanket and tear up that "that's just what girls do. Now shut my door for a few minutes." Hee hee, all the while knowing that I am just making up an excuse to have some alone time.
Well, just for now, I will just enjoy dreaming of sugar plum FAIRIES and sparkley finger nail polish as I lay there during that alone time. Only one perplexing non-stop thought right now:
What do we name her????
