Kaitlin's Prayers Were Answered!


As soon as we shared the news Kaitlin started praying for a sister and counting down the days till we'd find out what we were having. Not a day went by where Kaitlin wouldn't ask/say how many days were left and cry about potentially having another brother and not the sister she so desires.
And then finally May 3rd came....
The ultrasound went well, but our baby didn't want to reveal whether it was a boy or girl. All I thought was go figure since we have a gender reveal photo shoot at the beach in a couple hours. The tech was wonderful though and she didn't give up. After an hour she finally got the baby to reveal who he/she is. She put the results in an envelope so I could pass it on to the photographer. Ater the ultrasound I had my five month doctor appointment to go to. So I sat and waited. And waited some more. And then some more with the results sitting in my lap. Talk about torture!
Finally after waiting an hour an a half I had my appointment and then headed home. We had to quickly figure out something else for everyone to wear since while I was at the doctors office it rained and the temps dropped a good twenty degrees. So we quickly pulled stuff together and headed to the beach for pictures. I was so nervous, because I was starting to get concerned about what we'd do about Kaitlin if baby number four is a boy. She was quite sure our photographer June had just set her up to findout it's a boy. But all that changed once the pink silly string came out, and concerned turned to joy. Well, for everyone except Levi that is! He was shocked to be wrong and so much so he couldn't believe the results. Boy was he not happy at first. (Already thinking of another wedding to pay for!) But as the night went on everyone was excited for our newest family member.
And though I thought once the gender was revealed Kaitlin's pestering would cease, it's not! Now the question is what's my sister's name going to be? Oh well at least it'll be a different question for the second half of the pregnancy!
