It's a Molly!

The day was March 17th, St. Patty's day. David and I went in for the revealing of our second, and probably last, child's gender. I've made it no secret that my heart was set on a girl. Of course we wanted a healthy baby, but I knew the tears would flow if it was another boy. Don't get me wrong there is no one more precious to me than my sweet Mark, but come on it would be awesome to have the best of both worlds!

So here's how it played out...They call my name to come back to the sonogram room. Immediately my heart starts racing. I'm thinking, this is it, we're about to find out and there's nothing I can do about the outcome. Am I sure I'm ready for this?! I lay back on the table and I kid you not my heart feels like it's about to beat out my chest. I say to the sonographer "I really hope this is a girl. Do you have many people cry in here?" I know she must have thought I'm mother of the year. Already deciding that I'm going to be hugely disappointed if it's a boy. I would have cried, alright?! I still would have loved another son. Brothers would be so great! So she starts the sonogram, finding every organ of the baby, taking all her measurements and HER SWEET TIME!!! I felt like she was torturing us...come on lady, get to the good stuff!!! The moment arrives, we being normal people, not sonographers, can't tell at this point. Then she says "ok you can cry tears of joy." There Molly was in all her glory. I had her recheck again and point out to me proof she was a girl. My heart calmed down and tears rolled down my face. I was SOOO overwhelmed though. I'm not sure I know what to do with a little girl. Mark's easy...balls, cars and dirt. Not to mention he's a lot easier on the pocket book if you know what I mean. David's comment was "holy cow I have a daughter!" We were both so pleased and dumbfounded that we actually got what we wanted. The shopping has begun and not sure when it will stop. I have so many bows to buy :)
