Baby Girl Selby

Well, the news is out! We are having a GIRL! Things of course didn't go as planned...
So, Monday, January 20th....we had our anatomy sonogram. Mick and Mallory both were off work/school so we decided that this would be a great time to go as a family. They would check over health of baby as well as confirm sex. We all know of course that Mallory can't keep a secret since she told everyone we were pregnant before she was suppose to so we decided that we would keep this information from Mallory until we were ready to tell all of our family and friends. We, or should I say I.....wanted to wait until March or so when we could tell family in person. Mick and I of course would find out but just not tell anyone else.
So off we went....things were going great...Mallory was super excited. They began the sono and was showing Mallory the arms, legs, head, heart, etc. And all she wanted to know was it a boy or girl. Mallory had her heart set on a girl and Mick had his heart set on a boy. I, truly didn't care either way but had a feeling it was a girl due to the way I was carrying and how sick I had been...which was just like Mallory. I asked the nurse to not say the sex out loud so she wrote it on a piece of paper. I stuck it in my purse and of course I had to use the bathroom so Mallory and I went. Mallory was trying so hard to get me to peek without daddy. I of course didn't but then got the same pressure from Mick when we got on the elevator. I wanted to wait and do something fun and special at home...Mick was not waiting. So we went to the gift shop and Mick and I opened it....IT'S A GIRL! Mallory saw us and said let me see....so what does Mick do.....shows it to her and SHE READ IT!!!! WHAT?!?! That was not the plan....she said...oh that's a G...and began sounding out the letter ga, ga, ga....it's a girl!!! She was soooo excited...>I was so shocked! I kept trying to convince her that it may not say that but she was certain that was a G and that was the sound....etc....So all the way to the restaurant she kept saying...I know it's a girl, I know it's a girl....Then wrote on her magna-doodle Baby Girl!! Are you kidding me? Well...looks like we will have to confirm Mallory's suspicion and hurry and tell our family before Mallory tells everyone at school on Tuesday!!!! So we confirmed it at lunch and she says, "Yeah, I know...I read it!" Little stinker butt......At the time, I was a little sad as this is not how I planned to tell our families or how to reveal it on Facebook to our friends but now that it has sunk in...it's pretty funny and glad that my baby girl is learning her letters.
Mallory had been praying for a healthy baby, boy or girl every night....it would sound something like this...
Dear Jesus, Please keep mom and baby safe and healthy whether its boy or girl but I really want a girl. Amen.
So she said at lunch yesterday...."All those prayers paid off cuz' I know Dad didn't pray like I did." ;)
God answered her prayers and ours.....it's a girl, so far everything looks great and we can't wait to meet sweet baby!
