Official black sheep

The wall family has had a long standing birth order starting with Annie, then Josh and continuing girl boy girl boy for 11 grandchildren. The family joke has been that Greg and I needed to get in line for our boy. Well we got in line and found out today that we have officially messed up the order. We are having a girl. Though some refer to all these girls as the Anderson curse I see it as nothing more than a blessing. I love girls, I actually have a hard time seeing myself with a boy. I tried to imagine myself carrying around a little blue bundle and it scared me so I was perfectly fine today when the ultrasound Tech said we were having another girl. I think I was a little tomboy growing up, and my 2 little girls have brought out a girly side of me that i didn't know that I had, which I enjoy. Though I am only speaking for myself, I know Greg is still processing the idea of 3 little girls. Greg is convinced that my body is a manhater, I told him I could prove that I had nothing to do with that part, it was all him. One thing Greg is thankful for is, we have plenty of girl things to accommodate one more girl in this house, not much shopping to do. If you can call that a bright side, I will probably still shop.

Having had 3 girls myself and no boys I think girls are the only way to go. They promise to be a blessing in my old age. I love to be with them and enjoy their company more than I can express. Our girls are girls through and through but can fish, hike, bike, raft, camp, build, paint, mow the grass, change their oil, and play sports well enough to keep up with the man in our house most of the time.
So you get only congrats from our house to yours.
