It's (drum roll please) another GIRL!

My baby is now having a baby! How can that be? Used to be..in the old days...the sex of the baby was a mystery until the moment of the arrival. There were all kinds of predictions based on the heart beat...whether the mother carried the baby out front or "on her hips". I always carried everything on my hips...so that was no help to me! When I carried my babies....I just knew with a mother's heart that Andy was going to be a boy. I even dreamed him! I actually had a dream of my great grandmother Clark rocking a baby with a head full of black hair cooing to him and saying...."This is the prettiest baby boy I ever saw!" I knew from that moment on I would have a boy. And...I did! I was equally sure Katie would be a girl. And...she was! Feeling pretty confident about my motherly instincts....I just knew Amy was going to be a boy! The docs predicted it....I 'felt' it....everything pointed to a boy. On January 14th...two weeks early...Matthew Saunders became...Amy Elizabeth! She has been early and doing things ahead of time...in her own way ever since! 

Now our Amy is due to deliver around the end of June. No more do we wonder and guess. Technology has decided for us! Or...has it? The ultrasound says the baby is a girl. But....the umbilical cord is remaining stubbornly between 'her' legs. It is almost certainly....a girl....with a niggle of a doubt! For now....we are thinking pink. I am excited either way. Another little girl would be so much fun with the other two. We can just have princess parties forever! But....a boy would be so much fun too. We will take either! Today....her name is Ansley Kate.  Praying for good health...and a happy heart....she is already surrounded by grandparents, aunts and uncles, and lots of friends that can't wait to meet her and cover her in with baby love! And...if she is a he....well....we will keep our receipts just in case! :) My prediction...this baby will be early...and over 8 lbs....and....either a girl or a boy! :)
