When I was pregnant with Little Miss, I was 100% sure she was a girl. In my mind there wasn't even a possibility that she could have been a boy. We went to our 20 week ultrasound, and sure enough, we were having a girl. Loved It! Earlier in this pregnancy, I was 100% sure I was having a boy. Just my 'mother's intuition' just felt like a boy. So, when we went to our 20 week ultrasound, and we were told that we were having a girl, I was shocked. Not that I don't love girls. Honestly, I LOVE all the pink and frills and cute stuff. I just mentally was preparing for a boy.
Since then, I have found many, many reasons why I am glad this little one is a girl. We have everything girl already. Super easy! Little Miss can be a good friend with her little sister. They will have to share a room, and now they can share it for forever, if necessary. Plus,, Little Miss's room is super girly and cute. I won't have to change it to be gender neutral.
Since coming into the hospital, I have another reason that we are grateful that we are having a girl. For some reason, that the health care professionals can't quite explain, girls have a higher survival rate when they are premature. The specialists listed the fact that we are having a girl as something in our favor. I hope we have a strong-willed, fighting girl, because she might need all the help she can get just getting into this world.
I'm confident that's why Heavenly Father sent us a girl this time. Even though Morgan was hoping for a boy. I was convinced we were having a boy. And even Little Miss said she thought the baby in my tummy was a boy baby. We are so grateful we're having another little girl. And we just hope and pray she can stay put for as long as possible.
