I had my 18-week ultrasound yesterday, and although they weren’t able to completely confirm, they’re leaning towards GIRL. She told me she couldn’t tell… then glanced at hubs and me and our 3 boys… and said, “You know what, I’ll look again!” That kinda made me smile… I think everyone else wants us to have a girl more than we do!! Her final conclusion was that she simply couldn’t see any boy parts, but she couldn’t distinctly see girl parts either. So in other words, we’re basically back to square one. :)
But I got to thinking about it, obviously… and it’s just weird cuz I can’t see us with a girl at ALL. I would love a girl and hubs would too… but it’s boys that I know & understand… so much simpler because we already have all the clothes! But ultimately God decides and I’ll let Him, because He seems to have a good grip on things… lol
It also hit me what a responsibility a girl would be for me… I mean there’s obviously the fun stuff like pedicures and shopping trips as they get older, but I’m talking about raising a sweet, feminine and Godly girl… and I know God would help me, but it feels much bigger to me as a mother and female myself, than the boys, with all their testosterone…
And then… and please don’t laugh! Or do… but I don’t love pink & frills & lace. And I KNOW people are going to give that stuff to me and I’m going to have to be humble and just wear it. So I’m going to say it here, loudly and clearly that if we DO have a girl and you DO want to give us a baby gift… PLEASE go easy on the pink…
There are such cute options in coral & aqua & yellow & gray… and THIS:

that is what gift receipts and registry is for LOL I hope it's a little girl. and though I was not a big fan of frilly, i do love pink. pink lady bugs, pink hearts. and i put my girls in a lot of pink because i was tired of people asking boy or girl ;) but there are so many different styles and colors now. love you M' and am praying for you.
Hey Margi! I'm was lookin forward to hearing what he/she is too!! You'll do great with either. I'm not a frilly person either but I found lots of adorable girls clothes (without frills:-)) in pink. I'm thinking you just might change your mind on pink if that time comes!!
little girls are so fun! my closet is full of browns and aquas. Also red n cream are sooo cute! Sometimes raising a girl seem very over whelming but I also can understand the things she does better than my boy! You do fine with what ever you have!!! teresa
Yay for a girl, Margi!!! We love having a little girl around our house!! But if it grows boy parts between now and due date then you can simply relax and raise another sweet baby boy! I promise to give you grays and purples instead of pink! Can't wait to see your little punkin! Love you, Annie
