Girls, girls and another girl!

Well, of course all these weeks have gone by since finding out that we’re having triplets and I’ve been dying to find out whether I was having boys or girls. In my heart of hearts, I did not believe that it could possibily be having 3 more boys. So I knew that there had to be at least one girl in there. With how long I have been longing for daughter (even as far back as high school and maybe even longer!) And in addition to that I’ve been praying for a girl for so long..and of course the lesson that I learned earlier is that when we desire something like that, it is usually God that puts that desire in our hearts and not the other way around. So I knew there would be at least one, and actually I thought there would be two girls and one boy.
I had an appointment scheduled for April 27th and at that time I was about 15 1/2 weeks. Just far enought along to see what the gender was. However, there is no guarantees at this point, because it’s about the earliest possible to be able to tell. So Josh came with me to that appointment in hopes that we would find out what the babies would be. I was so anxious that morning..I wanted my girls so bad and I was so anxious to hear the words “it’s a girl!” My heart was pounding the entire time! Well it took forever it seemed..the ultrasound tech (whom I loved) was down there for a long time looking and baby A kept putting it’s hand down between her legs. Finally she said “okay, I think it’s a girl.” Josh said “100%?” She said no, but that she wouldn’t say it unless she was pretty certain. Tears immediately came to my eyes and I just really wanted to sob out of happiness. But I was trying so hard to hold it in so I wouldn’t jiggle the ultrasound machine! While looking at the next baby she suddenly stopped and giggled and said “it’s another girl” I grinned from ear to ear! The last baby I totally expected to be a boy..so we were very surprised to hear her say..”well, you’re going to need a lot of pink!” I was completely caught off guard!
Over the past couple weeks I have just been delighting myself in the fact that God not only answered my prayer and longing..he answered it threefold. Way more that I could have asked or imagined. Isn’t God good? Now..on to a very girly room and more pink than most people can stomach!
