It's a...
...very healthy baby! Praise God! The ultrasound went very well yesterday, and everything looked great. The boys and Beau came with me, so that was even better. The ultrasound tech said that in 2 years of doing this, she'd never seen any siblings as into watching the ultrasound as the boys were - fun!
About 1.5 seconds after the ultrasound wand made contact with my stomach, the tech asked, "So do you want to know?" "Wait...now?" Didn't she want to wiggle it around a bit just to make sure? No - apparently it was very clear. Just like that. That immediately said "boy" in my brain, but in case you were wondering, it's a girl! Our children have no problem letting us know ahead of time what gender they are.
Luke and Silas were not surprised. They knew all along. Beau and I were both shocked, as we believed that we were destined to make boys, though Beau had had a hunch. I believe I was the only one completely surprised. Whatever happened to mother's intuition??
We are, of course, thrilled. As we would be either way. But this throws an added element of unpredictability and newness to the mix. A girl with 2 older brothers! Double the amount of grilling that future boyfriends will get. Bring on the pink!

Terrific, wonderful, EXCITING news! I can't wait to be an uncle all over again, and this time to a little girl Teague. And I also can't wait to see how Luke and Silas treat her. :) December 15th can't come fast enough!

WOO HOO! It may take just a bit for you to adjust since you're used to boys, but you're going to have a blast!
I can't wait to hear the name. How fun - the boys will be so protective of their sweet little baby sister. Awesome. You are going to have so much fun! Bring on the frills and fluff!
Love, hugs and smooches,
Joy

I was checking the website every day last week for new info because I wanted to know so bad because I knew you were finding out soon. I'm so excited and happy for y'all. Luke and Silas are going to be the best big brothers and hopefully not attack and destroy her barbies.
