These are the words uttered by our ultrasound tech as she notified us that we were having a Girl! To say that complete disbelieve and utter shock hit both of our faces is by far an understatement. I asked her 3 times if she was sure, and she was sure, 100% sure. 3 lines, spread eagle, bearing it all and her mouth was wide open as she laughed at us! Needless to say Kercher did not take kindly to this news. he informed the tech that the baby in mommy's belly was a BOY his name was Brock and that she needed to check again. Nope, no baby boy there just a Baby Girl moving around like an acrobat so we have no, no decent pictures. luckily my office does another ultrasound at 30 weeks! Yay for that i had no idea I thought this one would be it. So hopefully when there is less room for her to move around we can get a good shot of her =)But the more important issues is how to get Kercher to understand that Mommy is having a girl and not a boy.
Rookie parent of one mistake. Don't assume you know the sex of the new baby and tell your 3 year old. he is excited to have a sister, be he is still asking about his brother. He let me know this morning that he would like Brock 1st and then BraelynAnn can come. I am not sure that it is going to work out quite like that. Kids are resilient (THANK GOD) as well as if you keep enforcing things they tend to adapt to them so I am sure it will be fine. I have a friend who was told she was having a girl so she prepared her family for a girl, however brought home a little boy. Granted this situation is not exactly the same, I am thinking we will get through it. Of course I though about her last night and looked at my husband and was like "that had better not be us, he is going to be so confused if we tell him it was a boy, no now it is a girl, then come home with a boy!" At the 30 week u/s they will be able to get a super clear, oh yea its a girl shot!
We are both so glad that we didn't wait for the delivery room to learn the sex of our little one. I would say most of the time a mothers intuition is right on what she is having. I think with all the emotions in that delivery room and how convinced we were it was a boy I am just not sure how all that would have gone, so this makes me very excited! And although I wasn't exactly sure I wanted to know, I am so relieved that I found out. the feeling was not what I thought it would be. It was great don't think it wasn't, or that we weren't excited because we were, but it is just funny. I was so sure it was a little boy that I told my husband I felt until we knew it was a girl that this was it. 2 boys and we were good. I was happy with that. But now having one little girl makes me think that I really need one more little boy, but something tells me you are always going to want one more of something =) and you have to draw the line somewhere.
We are excited to announce that BraelynAnn Ensley will be joining the family in mid July! And hopefully by then Kercher will have come to terms with a sister =)
