No, I didn’t forget that I am 20-something weeks pregnant with number #4. I forgot to “announce” on my blog we found out we are having a GIRL! We found out 4 weeks ago and texted and emailed the world, but failed to mention our big news here.
Was I shocked? Yes, I didn’t understand why I didn’t see a penis right away. Am I excited? Totally and a little scared.
When we were finding out with George, I thought if it were a girl, I would have to go shopping straight away. Not so much now. Girl clothes are a bit overwhelming. With boys, you can either go preppy with smocking and polos or do jeans and t-shirts. Basically with choices like stripes or dinosaurs. Now with girls, I go into a store thinking I’ll make a couple purchases and there are so many styles, I feel like I can’t buy anything because I don’t know what her “style” is yet. I know I sound nuts.
I am excited that tights and bows are in our future. Okay, definitely tights i won’t know about bows until she comes.
We also have had our girl name since we were pregnant with JJ, it’s Emma – we don’t have a middle yet. We decided this pre-Rachel and Ross, so we have been trying not to be discouraged by it’s popularity. Although it is a pop-culture name from Emma Peel in The Avengers.
