Jack and I got to experience pictures of Nicole & Breanne's babies in 4D ultrasound. My goodness how technology has changed since I had my children. Nicole sent us all the still pictures of her "son" - my grandson! I can't believe that I said "grandson". We have had so many of Jack's kids having 'granddaughters' that is seems like only other people have boys.
Well today, Breanne & Marc invited several of us to go to the ultrasound place and actually watch the 4D on a large monitor. We got to see the baby moving around, sucking (it's) thumb; pull up on it's legs and then after much anticipation we were finally told that it was a "girl" - a granddaughter. Some how this seems different and I guess in some way it is. Even though his granddaughters are very perfect in the way that we expect grandchild en to be, it's not the same thing as having your own flesh and blood be expecting parents. Together we have always said that by the end of 2009 we will have 10 grandchildren between us.
Both girls wanted exactly what they are getting - but then who's to say that either of technician's are correct. They both told the girls that nothing is 100% ... of course Marc asked for another viewing to make sure. And the technician went through the body parts again to say that she saw no "little boy parts". You have never seen so many women crying all at one time..I guess that the much anticipated words of "it's a girl" was to over whelming. I can only imagine what the delivery room will be (if I get the chance to be in there or near it) to hear those words again. But truly folks, what we really want for both girls is to deliver healthy, happy babies (no matter what sex) and that God will give each set of parents the needed skills to bring these children into the world as functioning future leaders. God, I thank you for allowing me to see such pleasure on my daughter's faces and to see what true miracles you create. No one can tell me that these beautiful babies are anything but your beautiful creations.
