its a.....

oh yes, that is correct

to say we are shocked is an understatement.
my mother in law is already asking for a "second opinion ultrasound" :)
seems weve broken the "roe rule" of having only boys...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

here are the thoughts/feelings/things that have been said today in no particular order:

• holy moly do what?
• "keep looking i promise there is a penis in there somewhere!"
• pink? bonnets? panties? baby dolls? my little ponies? {do girls still play with those???}
• she is going to have the big brother i never had!
• bennetts going to have a sister who will show him what girls are really like, like his daddy never had!
• "i guess i need to get {our financial adviser} on the phone and start a wedding fund, huh?"
• no way! NO WAY
• "oh buddy.  here we go..."
• "you get to sew girl clothes now! youre going to need a sewing room!"
• she, she, she, SHE {im STILL not used to saying that...she has been a HE since day one in the way i talk about/refer to HER}
• in the car this morning on the way to MDO before the doctors appointment: "do you think the baby in mommy's tummy a girl or a boy bennett? boy or girl?", bennett answers "hmmm {with eyes rolling to top corner of eye like he is thinking very hard...seriously} boy? girl?" "yes.  do you think you are having a sister or a brother? a girl or a boy?" "girl. baby tummy girl momma." "a girl?" "uh huh. girl momma tummy. BOY bennett tummy" "{snickering} no bennett you dont have a baby boy in your tummy.  boys dont have babies.  mommies have babies" "momma baby GIRL tummy.   SIS-tur".      .......well that settles it!
• and then this afternoon, in the car after picking bennett up from MDO: "bennett, the baby in mommy's tummy is a girl! you are having a little sister!" "tirsty momma.  water! sip mommas water!"  "bennett the baby is a girl! are you excited? you are a big brother and the baby is your little SISTER!"  "no nap momma.  AWAKE. watch thomas sofa. AWAKE."   .....so i guess THAT settles it. :)
• to the nurses waiting on a certain sample from me: "im so sorry but i think im in shock that im having a girl and i just cant 'go'!!! nothing!"  ladies laughing and one nurse leans over and almost falls out of her chair: "we only need like four drops."  me:"ive got nothing! nothing! let me go drink the rest of this gargantuan bottle of water and ill be back!"  nurses:"good luck! {more laughing AT me}"
• shock shock shock shock...that word has been used and ABUSED today.  im sure everyone in the waiting room was annoyed from my repeated use of it over the phone and im sure everyone reading is annoyed as well...heck IM annoyed with myself!!!  i really wish though that i could convey the nearly scientific FACT ive been presented with since i met stephen that "all roes ever have is boys!"  lets just say my family is NOT as shocked...i mean i was one of three :)
• i get to take my daughter on "girls trips" like i always went on with my mom and sisters
• i have a daughter
• this little girl doesnt know it yet, but she will be very friendly with trucks, bugs, dirt, guns, frogs, and sticks.  she honestly doesnt have a choice.
• she cant wear any of bennetts cutie pie baby boy clothes!!!
• but i get to go buy tons of cutie pie girlie clothes!!!
