It's a girl!

I think I missed out on the mother's intuition attribute because I am 3 for 3 at guessing the wrong gender for our kids. I was so sure that this baby was a boy, but we found out at my doctor's appointment this morning that she is a healthy little girl! We are all so excited! Knowing a little bit more about who she is and seeing her wiggle around on the screen makes the idea of her joining our family that much more tangible and exciting!

We stopped for celebratory donuts on the way home from the doctor. I tried to talk both the kids into getting pink donuts for their new sister, but Max refused. He is excited about having a little sister, but he draws the line at eating pink food, I guess. Two happy older siblings, but only one pink donut:

Both kids are really excited and proud to tell everyone about their little sister. I even overheard Max telling a little girl at the store this afternoon, "Us having new baby sister!" I knew that Natalie would be over the moon because she was hoping for a girl, but Max was hoping for a boy, so I wasn't sure how he would react. For the most part he talks excitedly about "ours's new baby girl," but he has already requested that the next one be a boy :)
