You Go Girl!

Today, we found out that the baby that we weren't sure if we'd get to see is a girl! Go figure! Right before I went into surgery, my doctor informed us that there would be a good chance that we'd lose our precious little baby. I was 12 weeks along at the time and this was devastating news. However, we knew we didn't have a choice, so we had to take the chance. After my surgery, I was relieved to find out that she'd made it that far. The next 48 hours were going to be a challenge and all we could do was hope that she'd be okay. We were reminded again today why we are so lucky. It was such an overwhelming feeling to see her moving around and as healthy as can be! Before my surgery, I was very open about my gender preference. I thought I had figured out the future of my family. I was convincing myself that Anders needed a baby brother for many reasons. After my surgery, I honestly was convinced that after all we'd been through, I didn't care either way. Of course, a boy still would have been more convenient since we already have all the stuff! After we found out that sure enough, our little baby is a girl, we were thrilled. I'm not going to lie, I did shed a tear or two, but I'm just so proud of my strong little girl! We will never forget what we've been through with her already. Of course, Christian's first comment was, "at least we don't have to worry about the circumcision this time!" Amen to that! I said it once and I'll say it again, YOU GO GIRL!
