It's a...

This morning our family met with a good friend, an ultrasound technician, to find out the gender of our growing baby.  Before the appointment, each member of the family voted BOY or GIRL.  The votes came in 4:1.  Caroline was quite confident in her vote for a girl!

Voting Results
Brian:  boy
Christine:  boy
Nathan:  boy
Maren:  boy
Caroline:  girl

A first look at the ultrasound revealed the obvious:  Caroline was right.  Reaction to the news?  Also 4:1.

Overall Reaction from family members
Brian:  very pleased  
Christine:  so joyful
Caroline:  very happy
Maren:  so excited
Nathan:  devastated

It was a special occasion for our family to see this tiny, developing baby that will soon be ours to hold, love and welcome into our home...in a pretty pink blanket.

Nathan...I'm sorry you didn't see a little brother in that photo shoot. I have to admit, though, I am thrilled to see another little Giles girl on the way--especially one for my little girl to play with! Congratulations on the happy news!

Congratulations! Your family is just like ours - just in reverse order. =) Your girls are so blessed to have such a great big brother!

Megan said...

Congratulations! That is great! I wouldn't expect anything different being that you are part Jones! :)

How wonderful that this new little girl will have such a great big brother to look after her! Congrats to you all.

Julianne said...

Hooray! Nathan will be such a wonderful husband and father. :)

And I must say that Giles girls are particularly lovely... Caleb and new baby boy Lewis are so fortunate. Congratulations to you!!

I thought it was going to be a boy! I have a good friend here in Denver who is expecting her 3rd boy despite her fervent prayers for a girl. Perhaps I could arrange a trade for you two? You both make pretty babies! ;-)
