SHE is healthy!

The ultrasound tech said with 89% certainty that this baby is a girl.  We got another good view a few minutes later and it definitely looked like a girl to me, so I am going with that!  I am overwhelmed by our good fortune.  Even though we’ve experienced some problems getting pregnant and then were faced with some early losses, we are now expecting what appears to be a perfectly healthy 3rd child.  And not only that, but this is the girl I’ve dreamed of having for years now.  Not to say that I haven’t been thrilled with my boys, but somehow it’s all the sweeter because I did have to wait.  I feel blessed beyond measure right now.

And I truly feel like she will complete our family.  I’ve felt like someone was missing and I just didn’t know who.  Now I know, and I feel very content to say that this is my last pregnancy and my last baby.  Unless our circumstances change drastically, I just don’t see me wanting another baby.  This pregnancy has been more difficult for me and I feel that three is my limit as far as meeting each of their emotional and physical needs.  So though I was pretty sure I didn’t want to do all of this again, there was still that tiny bit of doubt.  Now I feel very secure in that decision!

So if you’re dying to see a picture, here ya go.  I can already tell she’s gorgeous!
