time to start sewing...

So.. It's a girl!! We are overjoyed. We are also happy that she looks healthy and strong and everything is progressing normally. Normally I don't get emotional during ultrasounds, but I sure did today. I am happy that Quinn will have a sister. Having such an awesome sister myself, I've always wanted that for Quinn. We've been thinking that this might be our last baby, so this was her chance to get a sister!! And (maybe this is weird) but Hendrix is just so stinking special, part of me wanted him to be my one-and-only little boy. Not that I wouldn't have been overwhelmingly happy to have another little Hendrix walking around. There was also part of me that was sad that this isn't a boy. I was surprised by how sad it made me, since at the same moment I was so happy to find out it was a girl. It guess it just shows that either way I would have been one happy momma. I'm feeling very grateful today that I am healthy, and the baby is healthy. It's such an amazing thing to be a mother and I couldn't ask for more.
