Someday people will start believing me when I speak



Before I had Chicky I was convinced I wanted a boy. I grew up a tomboy and still enjoyed things like sports and a good noogie from time to time, so naturally I would have a boy.

And even though I knew from conception that my baby would be a girl I was still surprised when we got the ultrasound results. A girl? Me? Really? Uh, what do I do with it?

I've gotten used to having a girl, I will admit. I love my girl. I love almost everything about her. I could do without the crazy mood swings and the teenage angst that is sure to come our way, but the girl clothes? C'mmmon. How can you not love a pair of boots with fuzzy pom poms? I only wish they came in my size.

Way back when I predicted another girl child for the Chicky family. Apparently everyone else in my family was convinced it was a boy. Which just goes to show you that you should always listen to the mother.

We had our ultrasound today. It's a GIRL.

We've already begun saving for things like the latest fashions, weddings, and the therapy that will have to happen because there will be three stubborn females living in one household.

  2. Aww. Cool.

    Yeah we are not looking forward to having three in high school and then three in college and then three weddings probably all around the same time.

  3. I knew my son was a boy from the get-go. I did want him very much, but when I finally got pregnant it was the worst possible time for me professionally. I joked that men had been F***ing with my life all my life, why would this be any different. :-)

  16. Congratulations sweetie!
    Our princess is the first girl in 11 generations (his side obviously) and nobody believed me when I told them she was a girl! Then, nobody believed me when I said monkey was a boy! WTH?

    CONGRATS!!! I've been thinking about you today!

  22. Congrats on a girl! I wrote just the opposite post today. Originally wanted girls, got boys, totally happy. Of course, mine are all already here. The teenage years are going to be crazy I think.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Woo hoo! Sisters are wonderful little creatures! Congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Congrats! Just think - you can reuse all of the cute girl clothes. It's a big advantage for us.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Congratulations on your girl news. Will we call her Chicky Little.

    Sorry -- I love a groaner late on a Friday night.

    And I was pretty happy when we went boy-o with #2... #1 daughter has proven my longstanding prediction that I just can't handle all the junk girls want you to do with their hair.

  26. Speaking as a mom of two boys, I can say that I am thoroughly jealous. Though I do love my boys, but still. I would love to have a daughter one day too.

    Congrats, you!

    ReplyDelete
  27. congratulations lucky mama!
    i was sure i was having a boy, but i LOVE my daughter sosoooooo much. she's the best + her clothes are too.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I always thought I would have boys, for the same reasons you listed. I now have four girls, zero boys. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yeah!

    Congrats on the good news, Mrs. C.

  30. You are a regular Nostradamus.

    Seriously, congrats.

  31. I absolutely knew that HRH was a boy despite having girl dreams constantly. RC was supposed to be my girl but I wouldn't change him for the world. Third time's the charm?

    Congratulations to you and your Chickies.

    I take it everything else was just right too. The best news.

  32. sigh...i so love little girls.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Who better than a strong, kick ass mama to raise a house full of girls?

    You go!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Nothing better than a house filled with estrogen.

    Congratulations. Lil Chicky is going to be a fabulous big sister.

    (Well, at least until she hits her teen years...then all bets are off...wink, wink.)

    Hope you're feeling fabulous!

  55. Congrats! I have three girls now and it is fun!

    By the way, my 16 year old just got almost the same boots in size 9. They were from Kohls.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Congrats! I have 2 girls and they are the light of my life. They are also very, very close already. Even knowing that they someday will plot and conspire against me, I'm thrilled to see them together. You have many fun, special times ahead - lucky you!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Congratulations! I think you learn to LOVE not just like whatever sex you get. I was CONVINCED I had to have a girl. Now that I have a boy I have CONVINCED myself that's all I ever wanted!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Ahhh! How exciting! I will have to wait till my spawn pops out to see if I'm in the same boat as you or not. My family is all convinced it's a boy...but I really have no intuition either way. Best wishes!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Congratulations for padding your side of the vote in your household and three cheers for grrrl power.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Congratulations! I thought I was having a girl both times and was surprised at the ultrasounds.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I was so excited to see Thalia's very boots in that picture (thanks, Tar-zhay) that I was all set to write about boots and then

    OH MY GOD

    You're having a girl!

    Aw, Mrs. Chicky, it's been so great having two girls. Sisters. Forever. So wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  62. YAY girls! Mr. PunditMom is outnumbered, too -- but he likes it! ;)
