Baby Girls

I always thought life was complete after Will. Having boys was my destiny, and I didn't mind one bit. There was a small longing for another child, but not nessesarliy for a girl. Well, its true that God knows what you need even more than you yourself.

After I got pregnant for the third time, I was hopful for a girl, but not for any other reason than for the cute clothes and the interior design aspect. Girls? I had no idea what to do with one, and my husband was scared to even talk about them. I remember the day of the ultrasound. My stomach was in knots and I felt like I could jump off a building and fly from anticipation. The ultrasound tech had to try for over a half an hour to get an accurate reading. It was a GIRL!!! The smile on my face was a mile wide. I was happier than I had expected to be.

As she has arrived, gotten a little older and her personality is beginning to take shape, I realize just how much I needed her. I never thought anything was missing until I was blessed with my daughter and I see all the things I was missing out on. Now I'm not sure if its because she is a girl, or because I just knew I needed that last baby. But I sit and hold her and just imagine all the things we will do together. That special bond between mother and daughter. I can't wait for the friendship to grow. I can say now my heart if filled past overflowing. She is the sweetest thing in my world right now.
