Pink or Blue for baby number two?

We're evening up the numbers around here! Our next little one is a girl!

When I was pregnant with Lincoln I knew he was going to be a boy. For weeks before we found out I said he would be a boy. It felt right, like "of course our first baby would be a boy and of course we will name him Lincoln." This time around things were different. My pregnancy was not at all the same to Lincoln's. I haven't had any morning sickness, I haven't been tired, not to mention my nose and smells have gone wild. I knew that there was something different about this baby but I didn't want to get my hopes up, But I wanted a little girl. I wanted this baby to be a little girl so bad but I knew that if I said that there would be disappointment if we were having another boy. Now, if we did have another boy there would be no disappointment because I really just want healthy babies. When the doctor said we were having a girl it just felt right. Just like it did with Lincoln. I wish I could say the same thing about a name because we have no idea what we're going to name this sweet little girl. I am so excited for June and for this little one to join our family. Besides I am feeling a little out numbered so I needed a little girl to even up my troops.

Early in this pregnancy I, as the observant husband that I am, noticed differences not otherwise seen in the previous pregnancy. For example, during the pregnancy with Lincoln I noticed that Olivia would get nauseous over tastes, now she gets nauseous over smells. I couldn't help but feel that such differences were worth taking note. The thought of how a little girl would just round out our family so perfectly! One boy and one girl is what couples dream of, so, based on my luck the thought of two boys was a more realistic thought to me. However, I couldn't help but think of how much this pregnancy was different. On top of all that my sister-in-law had just announced that she was having a boy, and I really wanted something different than her but I knew my own luck. I hope you could see how I was torn! Then the doctor said "it's a girl!!!" I thought to myself "wow, one boy one girl, maybe I am this lucky, for I sure deserve to be!!"
