It’s A….

Remember when I said we find out the gender soon?  Well, we actually found out yesterday.  We’ve never done anything particularly fun for the gender reveal so I really wanted to do a fun idea one of my friends told me about.  I asked the Dr. not to tell us what it is but to write it down in an envelope.  After the appointment I headed straight to Baby Gap where I picked out a couple girl items and a couple boy items.  I then asked the cashier for her help.  🙂  I gave her my credit card, the envelope and the outfits and told her that we didn’t know the gender yet, but in a minute she would!  Once she looked in the envelope I asked her to then ring up either the boy stuff or the girl stuff  based on what it said and then to wrap it up really, really well so we could open the gift that night over dinner.  I also reminded her to hide the other outfit so I wouldn’t see anything when I got back.  She was so cute and excited to help.  I then made myself scarce for a few minutes while she took care of business.  I instagrammed the above photo asking, So what’s it gonna be?  Purple polka dots or grey stripes?  (You can follow me on instagram at thislittlemiggy)

Purple Polka dots!  It’s another girl!  
Yay!  We love our girls!  I have to say we were genuinely surprised–which is a first for us in the baby guessing game.  We’ve always been right when it comes to our gut feeling, except this time.  Of course we’re thrilled to be adding another precious girl and in a way I’m a little relieved.  I know girls.  We have girl clothes and girl toys and girl shows.  That being said, we were both excited at the prospect of a little boy and the new dimension that would bring to our family.  Especially B.  He’s always dreamed of having a son.  But honestly, he’s a great girl dad.  
Huzzah for 3 girls!  
I know a lot of families where the kids are a single gender and I’m not just talking about 2 kids–3 girls, 4 girls, 3 boys, 5 boys, 6 boys!  I think there can be a lot of pro’s to the single gender families as well as families with a mix of boys a girls.  Any single gender kid families out there?  We’re you raised with just one gender?  What are some of the pro’s and con’s?
