The Darnell Family

Our grocery adventure was put on hold until Sunday due to the ultrasound. While in the store mom wanted to buy Reilly a certain toy and it happened to be on the opposite side of the isle from the baby dolls. Reilly found one that coos and moves around that she thought was cute and she had to have the baby doll. She carried that thing around all day yesterday. She has fed it, rocked it, covered it with her blanket, showed it all her toys, tried to get it to walk or stand, danced with it, etc. She even decided to sleep with the baby over her much beloved Pablo. It has been very cute to watch and amazing as she is not the most girly of girls by any stretch!

As per typical, we have another stubborn child! We went to the 3d/4d ultrasound this past Saturday. This baby is the exact opposite of camera ready, burst of energy Reilly. This baby is laid back, legs crossed, and chillin. However, after some pain being pushed around on momma it does appear we are going to have another girl. And for those keeping record, yes, I did cry. Trust me it is not at all that I will not love every bit of her, just hard. I know how badly Daniel and my family wanted a little boy (yes, me too). So, Daniel and I are temporarily giving up our thoughts of little football player. Don’t worry - I got over the crying relatively quickly and even have bought her first pair of shoes. At first I thought I would just hold out thinking maybe she was wrong and we would confirm on the 8^th and 9^th. However, when I got home I put one picture from new baby up to picture from Reilly and it is almost identical from the same time frame on the 3d/4d. Pretty much assured another girl! (And just for FYI - for those that want to read the books on do this, this, and this and you will conceive a boy - from experience two times over it is not 100%.)
