By the way…

If you’re just visiting Humble Handmaid after a while, NO I haven’t had my baby, but YES, we are having a little girl:) 

We didn’t find out the sex of the baby with Gabriel, but I was pretty convinced he was a boy, so the fact that he actually was a boy was somewhat expected.  

(There is also the ongoing controversy among family and friends who say our first ultrasound of Gabriel, which we posted on YouTube, had some pretty positive evidence of his sex. Michael and I have decided to turn a blind eye to this I suppose 🙂 

I was almost positive this second baby was a girl, and I really wanted to find out the baby’s sex this time at our ultrasound. Michael, who has from the get-go been a staunch “keep it a surprise” kind of guy, turned to me at the last minute in the ultrasound room and sheepishly asked me, “Do you want to find out?” I had decided to respect his wishes about not finding out the sex of the baby, so I could hardly believe he was asking me that question! Rosia, our sweet ultrasound tech, told us the baby was a girl, and I was just elated (and yes, I shed some tears 🙂 

I love little boys and my wonderful Gabriel, but a little girl has been on my heart for a long time!
