Big news in the Reed household today ... it's a GIRL! She weighs just 7 ounces and is a mere 6.8" long but that puts her inthe 94% percentile for a 16 week 4 day fetus. Yes, folks, we make big babies!
Having an 18 month old boy who is ALL BOY, it’s a hard to wrap my brain around today’s news – Reedlet #2 is a girl.
To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure I ever actually wanted a girl. Don’t get me wrong – I thrilled with whatever the good Lord chooses to bless us with. I’m just not one of those women who felt that my life wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t have a little girl to dress up in frills & bows. Frankly, this poor little girl is probably going to have to visit her Aunt Angie to figure out the delicate arts of hair and makeup since her tomboy of a mom has barely figured it out for herself.
What I am thrilled about is that this wonderful little bundle of pink joy will have an older brother to watch out for her – when he’s not picking on her, of course – and that Chris will have that special bond that a father & daughter can have.
So, for now, I’m tickled pink … I think?
