Sugar and spice...

...and all things nice! I found out today that I'm having a little GIRL (and she's healthy, looking great so far, and a major wiggle worm)! There had been many predictions made and none of them were thinking I'd be having a boy...so I guess I should trust the masses more often?! I'm excited for a fun, new challenge and for some more girl power in our family. Now we just have to agree on a name that isn't Louise! :)

Here she is...staring right at us! I have to admit...a little creepy...but pretty amazing! :)
Oh...and in case anyone was curious what identifies a girl...it's those three little lines. I'll spare you the exact word used by the tech, as I'm not sure it's blog appropriate!

Who could possibly more excited than someone surrounded by all boys?? I love the boys, but I can't even imagine how wonderful this will be.

YEAH!!! :) Congratulations! She is going to be a beautiful little girl, with great parents and a super sweet and cute big brother! I'm praying your pregnancy and your little girl.

YEAH!!!! I was so hoping you'd get a little girl! Now I can live vicariously through you as you post pictures of pink, purple, and bows. =o)I am so excited for you! I love sonogram pictures. They are truly amazing. Cracks me up with the arrow pointing to the "proof:" we had the same thing for Holden and Jay also made the technician OUTLINE the said member with the white pen! What does Ben think about having a little sister? I bet with him for a brother she is either going to have an amazing vocabulary, or say nothing as he can do all the talking for her! ;o) Praying for your pregnancy.

Congratulations! That is so exciting! What a perfect little family you already have and now it will be even better with a little girl. I will too have to live through you since there are no little girls in my family...maybe one day! :) What is Ben thinking? I bet he and Louise will get along just fine! Congrats again!

Yay yay yay for girls! And it's so fun to me that a) you and Mike got married in august 2002...so did Kyle and I, b) Ben was born in may 2005...so was Ashlyn, and c) Maguire was born in january...and you're due in january! I'm so excited for you, Ali! And for sure I'll be praying for you, that things will continue to go smoothly. God is good!!
