Baby #5 is a.... GIRL!

I e'er dreamed close having a daughter. After two miscarriages (one of them being a tooth pregnancy), 4 boys (including a laid upward of identical twin boys), together with a petroleum start to our sixth pregnancy, I felt that our chances of having a miss were pretty low. I've heard throughout this pregnancy:

"Oh, my quondam vecino growing upward had vii boys! Then they had their girl."
"My mom's best friend has 5 girls."
"Our cousin is meaning amongst her 4th boy. They are stopping after this one! No to a greater extent than boys for them!"


And together with thence myself. I bring ii friends amongst 4 boys: ane only had her 5th together with it was a girl, the other just had her 5th together with it was a boy. Ahh!

So I scheduled my 20 calendar week anatomy scan at my lastly OB appointment. The earliest they could larn me inwards was 4 weeks away, when I would live 22+ weeks. I actually persuasion I could hold off that long. It would live torture, but I figured I only needed to hunker downwardly together with wait. I called my mom together with told her to score her calendar for the destination of Feb when I would live getting the scan. She called me dorsum together with said, "Hey! I was on Google together with constitute some places for yous to become larn a sex ultrasound done..." I was instantly sold together with called right away to larn an appointment; they could run across me the next calendar week when I was xix weeks.

I decided to surprise my husband. I made the twenty-four hours of the month for spell he was at work. I called my girl together with asked if she would become amongst me to aid move out on the sex a undercover from me every bit well. Then I ran a few errands. I went to a infant boutique together with set a man child outfit together with miss outfit on hold. I told them my girl would live coming inwards to choice upward the appropriate gender's outfit after my scan. Then I wrote on a notecard, "Congratulations! It's a ________!" I set the notecard inwards an envelope together with laid upward out to larn my scan every bit shortly every bit my hubby left for work.

What a surprise this all was! My girl did AMAZING. She never ane time allow skid what the sex was. I bring no persuasion how she kept that undercover in. We got tiffin together after the scan together with spell I babbled she kept her lips sealed, no slips of the tongue, no knowing glances, nothing. She told me afterwards that she was worried she was smiling also much, but I never noticed anything. I call upward she did a fabulous chore of keeping the undercover together with I was really caught upward inwards the excitement of all of it.


After lunch, nosotros drove past times the infant boutique. She ran inwards together with picked upward the miss outfit. They triple wrapped the adorable set. My girl told me she instructed them to produce so, only inwards illustration I was tempted to peek earlier my hubby came dwelling solid from work. The set pinkish together with blueish tissue newspaper peeking out of the move past times of the bag. When she came to the motorcar belongings the package, my pump skipped a beat. I had tried preparing myself to hold off for 4 weeks earlier the anatomy scan, but the couplet hours earlier my hubby came dwelling solid from piece of job at nowadays that nosotros were thence unopen to finding out were going to live impossible! When I dropped my girl off at dwelling solid she made me hope non to opened upward the package. I reassured her I wouldn't, but, man, that bundle was quite tempting. I tucked it inwards a corner on the kitchen counter to move out on it out of sight until my hubby together with I could opened upward it together.

Thankfully I did non bring long to wait. I right away had to leave of absence to choice our start grader upward from school. While I was doing that, my hubby called to state that he was on his way dwelling solid for work-- early! Yay! I was ecstatic. I told the boys over together with over again, "He's on his way home! When he gets dwelling solid nosotros larn to honor out if yous are having a blood brother or a sister!" The boys were caught upward inwards the excitement of all of it. Our 4-year olds kept maxim they hope nosotros bring a sis to call "Batman Girl." Our oldest insisted he wanted a brother. One of our 4-year olds asked if he would call the infant "Batman" if it was a boy. I persuasion of how I would surprise my hubby when he came home. I'm non really expert at keeping secrets, thence this was big for me. I wanted to play the whole affair out together with deed somewhat casual when he came inside, maxim something like, "Oh, what's this? Maybe nosotros should opened upward it upward together..." Instead, the minute his Jeep pulled inwards the driveway, our boys sprinted over yelling, "Dad! Mom constitute out what the infant is today! The infant inwards her tummy! It is a man child or a girl! Come within together with see!" My hubby was even thence sitting inwards his vehicle looking really confused. He looks at me quizzically, "You constitute out today on your own? I didn't know yous had anything scheduled." I couldn't aid but laugh. I told him, "No, no, no. I went somewhere to bring it done, but I didn't honor out. We volition honor out all together when yous come upward inside." It seems our boys bring my might to move out on a secret.


He dutifully came within together with laid upward his things down. Our boys swarmed him amongst the bundle together with the envelope. We all went to the solid unit of measurement room together with chop-chop opened it up. They all leaned over his shoulder every bit he opened upward the envelope. I took a video of him pulling the carte du jour out together with belongings it opened upward for our start grader to read. Our oldest read, "It's a.... GIRL!" together with that is when I halt filming. I asked my husband, "What? Let me see! Is it really?" He hands me the carte du jour together with the ultrasound pictures fall out. Two of the pictures are marked saying, "Girl," together with the carte du jour clearly says, "Congratulations! It's a GIRL!" I started bawling. My hubby together with thence opens the bundle together with hands the pinkish slumber together with play amongst the frail pinkish flowers together with an adorable crotchet crown to me. I concord the petty items together with cry. He crouched downwardly side past times side to me together with puts his arms to a greater extent than or less me, tears inwards his eyes every bit well, "We are having a girl! 4 amazing boys together with a petty girl!" I hugged all our boys together with they danced around, "A girl! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 sister!"




After that came telephone calls together with pictures together with posts together with text messages together with hugging together with to a greater extent than crying. One of my girlfriends drove over that nighttime amongst an adorable ruby-red wearing clothing coat together with a sugariness play laid upward for our infant girl. I opened the door together with she had a big box inwards ane mitt a huge bouquet of pinkish balloons inwards the other.

It was all thence exciting. It ended upward beingness a neat surprise. I loved finding out together every bit a solid unit of measurement at home. I was a petty worried my hubby would live a petty caught off guard past times my early on surprise-- when nosotros weren't expecting to become inwards for weeks-- but he was every bit excited close it all every bit I was. I don't know how many times nosotros hugged each other that twenty-four hours (or since then... it is even thence a big shock!).

The other day a gal asked how many boys nosotros have. I told her nosotros have four boys. She nods to my circular tum together with says, "Well, nosotros know what that means! My girlfriend has five boys." I smiled together with said, "This ane is a girl!" I don't know when the novelty of having a miss volition vesture off. I call upward I'm going to start crossing off the days until this summertime when I tin finally concord our lastly baby-- our daughter-- inwards my arms!

The other neat operate close knowing at nowadays that nosotros are having a miss is that I tin finally produce some girl baby shopping! Omigoodness... it is thence much fun!
