Our journey through infertility, failed adoptions and now parenthood through the miracle of embryo adoption/donation.

We are having a baby.........

GIRL! She was quite shy about showing us anything but she finally did. I was not leaving until we knew something!!! I will be honest, I am adjusting to finding that the baby is a girl. I am shocked that my "intuition" (or lack thereof) could have been so wrong. My sister and I went shopping and I kept migrating to boy things. Please don't get me wrong, I love the idea of having a girl, but for 4 months I felt like I was having a boy and have been calling the baby "he". Everything that I have planned has been for a baby boy. I always criticized people that were disappointed in the gender of their baby and now I am one of them. But I am not really disappointed, just needing to plan differently.

On another note, a more important note, the baby looked very healthy. They were not able to see a few things so I go back in 4 weeks. Now if this baby has decided to play an April Fools joke and is really a boy on the next ultrasound someone is going to be grounded!!!! =)

  1. Congratulations! Our first adopton I was convinced we would be getting a boy and here we are two daughters later and I would have it no other way. It all makes sense when they are finally here. Of course, I think I secretly wanted a girl so deep down I was thrilled my intuition was wrong.

Take the time you need and then get out there and SHOP and start looking at the cute cute girl stuff and OMW you are gonna so stinking excited.. Which I know you are excited.. but I mean even more. How fun to have a girl. You and your girl! Awww sooo cute and fun! And fun that you know so you can SHOP!!!! =)

  8. Congrats on the girl. I can understand that - for two years I've felt that we would receive a boy, it would be a big shock to me if a girl was placed with us.
