Welcome! It's a girl!Yeah, we know we should have been blogging before now. Now let's see if we can set a reasonable pace...
Last Tuesday, our delivery doctor gave us another in a series of good reports on Isabelle's pregnancy. The new due date is December 3, based on the ultrasound we got the Wednesday before that.
At our church, Mid-County Church in St. Louis, baby girls are everywhere. One couple, after adopting a girl and a boy, just had a boy. But aside from him, the last six or eight arrivals have been girls. Good friends of ours with two girls are due a few weeks before us, and they refuse to try to find out ahead of time. Other good friends with one girl are due a few weeks after us.
Having majored in statistics, and having observed that half the world is girls, I know that the odds against all three of us having girls were 8 to 1. Now that we know we will, the odds against the other two having girls are 4 to 1. In other words, it's still unlikely. Try telling that to all the other families that have two or three kids of the same gender.
God must be smiling on us, protecting our sanity. Sure we want a boy, but we certainly feel blessed that Joey-Chloe turned out to be a girl. Julia needs a sister. She will be Chloe Michelle, Lord willing.
Later!
