Little Miss Sis

Today we found out that Meyer Baby #3 will be a little girl!!  The Ultrasound tech wouldn't 'go down there' until the very end of the ultrasound so Brian and I were on pins and needles waiting.  She told us that should wouldn't say anything and would just go to 'the spot' and stop.  I took one look at the screen and went, "Does that mean it's a girl?  OMG are you telling me we're having a girl?" The tech said, "This is most definitely a girl.  I've never been wrong and I would quit my job if I'm wrong here."  I just started crying...


Most of you know I was a little apprehensive at the thought of having a little girl.  Girls scare me.  I've always been more comfortable with boys and after Logan and Cody I know how to raise boys; so the thought of having a little girl was overwhelming and nerve-racking to me.  But as soon as the tech said we were having a little girl I was so over-joyed!  I would have never guessed I'd have been this excited to be adding a little girl to our family.  Our little Meyer Ranch is now fully complete and I can't wait until the day I get to hold and kiss her!


A week ago, Logan was pretending he was playing a game and turned around to Jami our daycare lady and said, "IT'S A GIRL!  WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!"  Ever since then he's been very adamant that Mom was having a little girl (or gril as he pronounces it).  So when Brian and I got home from work, we showed the boys the pictures of the baby.  Logan was scared at first and said the baby 'looked scary'.  But once we got to the profile pictures and the picture below where she's waving at us he was totally excited.  When we got to the picture of 'down there', I asked him if he knew what that meant.  He said yes, but then had no idea when I asked him what it meant.  I whispered in his ear, "this means we're having a little girl".  The expression on his face was priceless!  He got the biggest open mouthed smile I've ever seen!  He's so excited to be having a little sister!  Cody's big contribution was that he said we could put her in the baby swing and push her.  :-) 


As most of you know we had fetus nicknames for the last two kids (Cletus the Fetus and Oscar Meyer).  So Brian and I have been trying to come up with a fetus nickname for this one.  We hadn't been trying too hard and were sort of waiting until we found out what we were having.  Tonight after we told the boys Logan came up to me and said, "Mom, we can call her 'Sis'."  It was so adorable and heart-melting, that ever since then we've been calling her 'Little Miss Sis' or 'Miss Sis' for short.  This is going to be one spoiled and protected little girl!!  


Here are the Ultrasound pictures.  She is definitely a Meyer, she didn't stop moving the entire ultrasound and completely switched positions twice.  Her heart rate was at 143 and she's measuring exactly on schedule.  All organs and measurements look fantastic.  She kept her hands in front of her face for the most part, but did manage to wave at us towards the end.  It was so cool!
