Abby was convinced our baby was a boy and Ella was hoping our baby was a girl. When we asked Ella why she wanted a baby sister, she told us it was because she doesn't have a little sister. We reminded her that she didn't have a little brother either, to which she responded, "Yes I do! Osiser (Oliver) is my brother!" Both girls were counting down the days until the big reveal.
The morning of the ultrasound, Abby had school, so Ella came with us to our doctor's appointment. Abby had a turn to go to an ultrasound with us when we saw Ella for the first time, so it was Ella's turn to see her baby brother or sister for the first time.
Ella waited patiently by looking at pictures on Daddy's phone.
Mommy! They just called your name! It's our turn.
We were thrilled to see our beautiful and healthy growing baby pop up on the screen. It was fun to help Ella understand that the movement on the screen was our little baby moving in my belly. It didn't take long for the tech to determine, we are having another baby girl! Three little girls! What a sweet blessing.
Can you tell how excited Ella is that it really is a baby sister?
We told Abby before she left for school that at pickup she would come around the corner and be surprised with colored balloons to tell her if she was having a baby brother or sister. She even wore her big sister shirt to school and told her whole class about the big announcement. Abby wasn't the only preschooler walking down the hall looking for balloons! Even though Abby was hoping to see some blue, she was excited to hear about her new baby sister. Her logical response, "No big deal guys, I'm sure God will put a baby brother in mommy's belly when it's time for our next baby". Hang on there, girl!
It's fun to start dreaming about what life with three little ladies will be like. We can't wait to meet our littlest girl!
