A Talk With God

Today Ella went with me to the doctor because all of a sudeden my nausea tripled and I was having a lot fo pain in my lower back. The doctor said to come in and check out the baby before we travel for the holidays. So, Ella went with me and I thought I woudl tell her about the baby when she ehard the heartbeat at the appointment. The doctor decided to do an ultrasound and thankfully everything was fine with the baby. I told Ella that a baby was growing in my belly and she would have another brother or a little sister this summer. Ella was so excited and said, "I'm going to have to tell my daddy about this." She proceeded to ask the doctor if it was a girl or a boy, but since I am only at the end of my 11th week the doctor obciously couldn't tell. The doctor and I told her ti was up to God to pick what was right for our family. In her most authoritative 3 year old voice she told the doctor that she would like a sister! When the doctor finished the ultra sound Ella went to the end of the table and tried to look up the gown they made me wear and said, "I can't see it, where is the baby?" The doctor found everything pretty funny and was definitely enjoying her conversation with Ella. WE wrapped things up and as we left the office Ella said, "I am going to have a talk with God." She looked up at the sky and as we walked across the parking lot she was shouting at the top of her lungs, "God......PLEASE make it a sister....PPLLEEAASSEE make it a sister!" On the ride home she explained to me that she already has a little brother and that now she would like a baby sister! For her sake I pray it is a little sister...although Scott and I feel blessed just to have a healthy baby thus far and a little girl and little boy who can't get enough of each other already!
