It's a girl!
So my doctor started telling us pretty early on that he was 80% sure we were having a girl. It took several more ultra sounds before a tech would confirm 100% it was in fact a girl.
So we found out for sure but have had some time to adjust to the idea. I can't lie, I was hoping for another boy as was Brad. Just having been so excited for Liam and having been totally prepared for a boy with clothes, the nursery etc. I just really wanted another boy next. Not that I was trying to replace Liam (you never could) I think about the hawkeyes, motorcycles, little suites, shoes etc. we had for Liam. I was looking forward to being able to use all that stuff. It was also hard at first to think about changing the nursery when I loved it so much and we never got to use it as is.
I pray that some day we have another boy. I get nervous that we never will and that part of the dream will never come true. That all those clothes etc that I could picture Liam in will never be worn.
Someone told me that "God knows what you need most." It's so true.
She brought up a good point that perhaps having another boy right away and having them wear those clothes etc would be too hard each day to think about Liam and wonder how it would have been different. Where having a girl is totally different and maybe that is easier right now.
