IT'S A GIRL!

It's a girl! It's a girl! God has answered my prayers (I don't care if that's a bad thing to pray for) and it's a girl! Thank you, God!

Note to my friends who have boys: I like your little boys very much. I'm also sure that if God gave us a boy, we would love him very much and be happy we had him and not want to trade him for the world.

That being said, here are reasons it is GREAT that we are having a girl:

• Now we can use all our cute little baby girl things again!
• We only have to keep girl toys around - not a second set of boy toys
• I really like girls
• We have a girl's name but not a boy's name picked out
• I am a very good "girl" mom but not as good a "boy" mom
• Ellie has a better chance of having a close relationship with a girl who is 4 years younger than a boy
• We don't have to buy nearly as much new stuff for this baby
• I would want to keep having kids until we could have another girl (Isaac is very relieved on this one)
• Ellie prayed for a girl and this shows her God answers her prayers

It's a girl!
