Our world got turned upside down yesterday when the ultrasound tech said, "Oh, boy! There is no doubt here. It is definitely a girl!" I thought it was some kind of a joke and that my ears weren't working right. Machelle kind of let out a sigh like she had just been punched in the gut. Tyler said, "Dad, you are in trouble! It's not a boy!" (If he only knew how correct he really is....)
With a day for the shock to set in, I can honestly say that I am really pretty excited to have a little girl. I am scared to death of what will happen in 13 years when hormones go off the charts. Hopefully I can develop a good enough relationship with the little thing so that she doesn't completely hate me by then. I can't wait to harp on my boys (and use some of my dad's famous lines) about not hitting their sister because it's not ok for them to hit a girl.
Mom informed me that she already has some dresses purchased. Our fears are already becoming realized about this baby being spoiled! I guess I can't expect much else because mom has been waiting 15 years for a girl to come along. This is one of the outfits that we might bring her home in because she truly will be "One of a Kind" with the streak now being 10-1 instead of 11-0.
