Baby Girl!

Isn't she beautiful?!  Supremely perfect in every way!  What a miracle.  I can't stop staring at her.

So there's the sweet foot that's been kicking Mama for days!  Hello toes.

My initial thoughts upon hearing "I see a girl," from the ultrasound tech:

Oh good, I like our girl names so much better than our boy names.

Oh no!  Sylvain might be disappointed - I think he really wanted a boy.

Oh good, sisters are sweet, and Sylvia will love having a baby sister.

Oh good God, what am I going to do with two girls??  I've already got my finger stuck in the "princess" dam, and any minute a flood of pink tutus and fairy dust is going to drown me in my own house!  Ahhh!

The only thoughts in my head after hearing "Everything looks really, really good.  All the parts are in working order!" from the doctor:

Thank God for a healthy baby.  Thank God for a beautiful family.  Thank God for my sweet baby girls!

I am so blessed.  We are so excited!  I feel like I can finally let out my breath after 20 weeks of pregnancy and enjoy the rest of this beautiful journey.

We let Sylvia celebrate with her very first lollipop from the receptionists at the doctor's office.  She was such a good girl considering we were there for two hours today!  What a great big sister she'll be!
