Hi kiddo! We went into unchartered territory this week and posted your picture on Facebook. So, now everyone knows about you! I also emailed your picture to our friends and family and always referenced you as a "she" or said "her". I have been getting a lot of questions as to how I know that you are a girl. Scientifically, I have no proof that you are a girl but that is what I feel you are and I have quite a few reasons why. None of them would hold up in a court of law or even against science but I figured I would share them with you because you need to know how crazy your mom can be at times :) Also, I don't like calling you "it." Whether or not I felt like you were a girl, I would still have to call you something other than "it." OK, on to the proof that you are a girl...haha.
1) When we were pregnant with Little M, a coworker of mine "knew" that the pregnancy wouldn't work out and she had a vision of me holding a little bundle of pink in the future. Even last year when we were pregnant, she just plain didn't think that those babies were the ones in the bundle. I think it was you :)
2) The psychic said so a couple of weeks ago.
3) Before we knew you were in there cooking, I had a strange dream about your Grampa Larry & a little bit about your Great Grampa Bill. (Sidenote - you can read about your Grampa Larry in your brothers' book and I will have to tell you about Bill in another post). I dreamt that Larry was standing in the doorframe of our bedroom and I said "What are you doing here?" He said "I have something to give you." He pointed to the middle of the bedroom and there was a little girl about two or three with dark hair. I said "Who is she?" He said that "You had been living with Bill for a few years." I tried talking to the girl in my dream but the dream ended. I woke up feeling that Larry was going to give me a baby girl. I also woke up thinking if you would be Bill reincarnated but that is a different topic for you to think I am crazy about. I wish I would have wrote down when I had this dream. I think it was before you were conceived - some time in April.
4) One night, when I knew you were in there cooking, I dreamt about tons and tons of little toddler girls. Everywhere I looked in my dreams, there was a little girl. I woke up with an Aerosmith song in my head - "Pink". I have to tell you that I don't know that song and don't really even care for it. But, I woke up with one refrain playing over and over in my head - "Pink it was love at first sight, Pink when I turn out the light, and Pink gets me high as a kite." I immediately told your dad that you were a girl and he probably rolled his eyes at me.
So, there is my evidence that you are a girl. As you can see, it is highly factual and irrefutable. haha. But, I still call you she and her because that is what my gut tells me. Your Aunt Candi said that her gut is telling her that you are a boy. We will have to see who ends up winning that one :) I think we may be able to find out around my birthday but it may not be until September. Either way, I truly mean it when I say that I don't care. You just stay in there cooking and come out full term & healthy and I don't care whether you are a prince or a princess.
