It's a.........

I went to the specialist again today. I really do like both of my doctors very much, but doubling up on appointments makes for A LOT of trips to the doctor's office! I dread every one because I have "white coat hypertension". Which basically described is: I'm scared of doctors and going makes me stress out. But Dr. W and Dr. O are awesome! They are great men who are excellent at their jobs. They always answer all my questions, even when I bring a literal list to the appointment to ask!
Baby Bowler measure good. Looked good. Was kicking around like an angry little cat. And even measured a little big. 7 whole ounces! Two weeks ago, they told us they were %90 sure it was a GIRL and today they confirmed it!! We are having another girl!! I am very, very excited!! I WANTED another little girl SO much. I wanted to be able to use Ella's clothes, gear, shoes and general stuff again. I wanted to have more pink and bows and lace. And I DIDN'T want to get to experience 'boy parts' from a general upkeep kind of angle!! I know that's selfish, so I promised Brent that the next one could be a boy. :) If in the event I loose my mind and decide to be pregnant again. It's really hard on me... and my ego.
Crazy thing is: out of the 6 women in my family unit, of child bearing years, 4 are pregnant!! And so far 3 of us are having girls!! This little one will definitely have cousins to play with.
We have decided the name Scarlet. I haven't quite narrowed down a middle name yet. I named Ella after my mom's mom, Ruth. So we'll see where we go for little Scarlet. The only flaw in the plan is, if she is born with red hair (which is a possibility) she will not be named Scarlet. Because that is just cruel!! We will have to think of something else!!

I could swear I left some sort of comment here already... but my mind isn't what it used to be. Duh... just probably thought I left my comment. I thought your little miss should be Scarlet Rose. (but consdering the rock group out of LA... maybe that wouldn't be so good.) I thought that if your little girl comes with RED hair... you want a different name. I think I would do the same thing.
