Girl? Boy? The BIG Reveal...

Today was the day. The day. The day where I found out if the babe was a boy which I had assumed the entire time or a girl which would add to my princesses.


Before I go on, I have to say that today was bittersweet for a few reasons--mainly Leo being away. It's been hard on me the past month or so just realizing that he wouldn't be here to share in my happy day. In a way it didn't bother me as much today as I had imagined it would. Partly because since being a single, expectant mother of two under the age of four has grown on me--or rather I have grown into the roll.


Anyway. The day. Thank God my appointment was at 8:00 this morning--and my sweet friend came and watched the girls for me due to no children allowed for the appointment. I left around 7:00 and was so giddy! I had a hard time falling asleep last nite wondering if our last baby would be a son or a daughter.


So...we? Are having a....




GIRL!!


Our little Brynlie (pronounced Bryn-Lee) will be here on/around May 24th. I'm in love with my sweet baby so much and feel incredibly blessed right now to be the Mom of three, yes three, princesses!


And believe me--I've heard in the past 11 hours that I've known Brynlie was a "she" if we would keep trying for a boy. That my friends? Is a post for another day...(short answer in case you are wondering--no...we are done with babies. Three girls? Amazingness. I couldn't ask for anything more).

    Oh, congrats my friend!

    I, too, think it's more about the number of children you have and NOT aboutthe gender.

    Oh and for what it's worth, we hate getting that comment about trying for a boy. We love our girls and are fine if we never have a boy!
