As in strikes out.
Sorry for those of you who would appreciate hearing the news another way. I just can't talk about it right now. I hope I'm not being a jerk about this. I know how many people just want a baby. But maybe they, who know how it is to want something so badly, can understand that I just want a baby girl.
I'm tired of being outnumbered. I'm tired of dump trucks and potty humor. I want to sew dresses and tutus and paint fingernails and do pigtails. Is that so much to ask?
Ryan asked Jared if he's okay with another boy baby, and he said no. He's pretty bummed, too. Zach keeps acting like we're all cuckoo, and says, "no, it's a baby girl in Mommy's tummy. The baby in MINE tummy is a boy baby." Gee whiz, how many times does he have to tell us?
We had the world's slowest ultrasound technician. She was new, and had another tech in the room helping her learn the equipment and software. The senior tech kept telling her, "Sometimes you just have to tell yourself that you can't get the perfect view and move on." It evolved into "just move on." Then it evolved into a warning that she was making me late for my appointment with the doctor. Luckily, the lady scheduled after me was a no-show. I was feeling bad for her!
She took so long that, after we were taken back 15 minutes late for my 10:30 appointment, we finally left 2 hours later! We completely missed the boys' swimming lessons. We got two ultrasound print-outs and get this, a DVD of the entire ultrasound! I'm excited to go back and watch that. I apparently missed when the baby opened his mouth. And I was the only one who caught it when he hit himself in the face. I just wish I had Jared's on video or something. He was so cute! He was actually jumping around as if on an invisible trampoline. This baby was all curled up with his feet in front of his face! Not comfortable.
So long to my dreams of pink. I think something's wrong with the drive-thru speaker. They keep getting my order wrong!

Oh, Susie. Huge hugs being sent your way. I know exactly how you feel. When we went in for Alex's ultrasound I was so sure that we were having a girl (I was wearing a hot pink shirt for crying out loud!) that I was nearly in tears from anticipation. And then..."it's a boy".
Yup, I wanted to cry. And it didn't help that my mom kept saying she thought he was still a girl, even when we had the 3D proof on photo and video. That was really hard.
And I know people meant well when they said "well, as long as he's healthy you should be happy". Well, of course I want my baby healthy...I am not a monster!...but was it too much to ask that I had a healthy baby girl?!
I know your new boy will be just as loved and cherished as your others, there's no question. But my heart goes out to you cause I've been there and know the feeling.
Oh Susie, I am so sorry that it is not a girl. I know you totally had your heart set on it. Your little new one will be loved so much though. He will have great big brothers to show him the ropes. If you ever need a girl fix, let me know and I can lend you Brinley. LOL :) She's good, calm, and doesn't get into any trouble. Especially since she can't walk or crawl. Ha ha ha. She doesn't put things in her mouth either. So, she would be a piece of cake. We totally need to meet someday soon and play. :)
Oh man. I have a friend who has 2 girls and is pregnant and wanted a boy. She just found out she will have another girl. She is feeling alot like you just in reverse.
You will totally love this boy and if you paint his fingernails when he is 2 I won't tell a soul!!
