Yesterday, after meeting Niko, I decided to have a 2D ultrasound to determine the sex of our baby. This is my fourth and we were excited about the baby’s sex is an understatement. We want it to be a girl as much as possible. In my heart I want it to be a girl. I want it so badly that I taught myself to accept that the baby is a boy. I just don’t want to hope and have the biggest disappointment in my life.

In the tiny room of In My Womb in Mega mall, I have seen that this baby is a girl. I will talk about the clinic later. I cried and was really happy, OK, happy was an understatement. That was the first time I felt that way. You know when you are so sure that you cannot have the thing that you wanted so much and now it has been given to you. The feeling I had yesterday was more than what would I feel if ever I won a lottery. I knew that in lottery I have a chance of winning but to have a baby girl, to me it was next to impossible. I just can’t explain how I felt yesterday, I really cried hard and was very very thankful for this blessing. It’s all we ever wanted and now I can say that the family is complete.

Now the excitement are building up. My sisters are now salivating over designer baby clothes. Well in case you are wondering why they are so excited, this the first baby girl in the family after 5 boys. My husband is pretty excited too. I guess their excitement on buying baby clothes like appaman capri pants for a little girl overwhelms mine. I am pretty sure my mom will have her sewing machines fixed and sew a lot of girl clothes. Our closet will be filled with lots of pink and yellow. Clothes from barefoot dreams will dominate the closet. Aside from clothes, for sure, my sisters and my husband will be excited to buy toys and stuff toys for baby girls like that of the toys offered by jellycat.

So I guess I have to save a lot before the baby arrives on November. I can just imagine that I will be spending all my earnings for her clothes.
