You know those times when you are just sure of something. You would probably stake some money on it, or at least speak about it with such high opinion that it sounds like fact?

Yeah, that was my Hubby and I before Thursday. We were sure, me verbally, and hubby not-so-verbally, that we were having a boy. Some of ideas we had for a baby room, colors and names were all revolving around a precious little baby boy.

I think perhaps part of it was also that I realized we’d come of out this whole start of babydom pretty cheaply since my sister had a little boy a little over a year ago and had lots of things to give to me.

But alas.

God played another funny on us.

We were in the doctor’s office, and my belly was getting all lubed up, and we were both just so sure that Patty, or sweet, European, Ultrasound tech, was going to confirm our male suspicions.

So when she said, “Are you ready? Ok. You’re having a baby girl!”…well…we were floored.

I can’t say we weren’t disappointed for a second, but then I thought about all the pink, all the baby rooms that I loved the best, all the cuddle time and future tender moments we will have, and I laughed. I giggled and laughed for quite a bit. We both just kept looking at each other dumbfounded and smiling.

My favorite moment of the whole ultrasound was towards the end. (We have a video up that you can see. Just let me know and I’ll send you the info.) Patty got a great shot of our little girl sitting. So we see her little bum and her chubby legs and their all shaking around. You can see all her toes and her bones and her outline and it’s just so beautiful.

I can’t wait to meet her. I Just can’t. Now it seems like another 19 weeks is just too long…and painful…

So God’s tricky. Don’t ever think you can figure anything about Him out. He’ll getcha.
