We have all been waiting with baited breath around here for the past 18 weeks to find out if this new baby would break the White Family string of girls (there are 6 granddaughters and 0 grandsons on Paul's side of the family). Today- after waiting an hour in the waiting room (seriously?! as if I wasn't nervous enough), we discovered that our baby looks healthy and all is well (which was my main concern) and, we are sticking with tradition and are having yet another White GIRL to add to the bunch... this will make 7 (3 for us).
To be honest, we weren't all that surprised (or at least I wasn't) that we are having a girl . So far, my pregancy has been almost identical to my other two- same severity and duration of sickness, etc... Plus, Avery has been saying all along that she was going to have another baby sister. She never faltered from that story. She was right! I am pretty sure she knew. Plus, the doctor did say (before the ultrasound began) that having several children of a single gender is an indication that there is a biological/mechanical reason behind it, making it more likely to have another of the same gender. There must be some truth to that for us!
When baby girl #3 revealed herself today, Paul just laughed and shook his head. I really think he took the news better this time than he did last time. After reality sunk in and the hopes of producing a tall NBA basketball player slipped away yet again (I am pretty sure he is dreaming- even if we did have a boy), he was happy. He truly LOVES his girls and they adore him. We are both just excited to be adding another healthy baby to our family.
We would, of course, love to have a boy, but in this economic climate, it might prove to be a great blessing that we are having another girl this time around. We really have enough baby girl clothes to clothe a small nation and enough pink to go around. We should be set. Regardless, we are very excited and look forward to meeting baby girl #3 in April/May! Now the hard part begins... agreeing on a name! That can be a most difficult task for us! Any suggestions?!

Congratulations on baby girl #3. After having two girls I just can't imagine life with a boy. And it is so nice not having to buy any clothes. Paul can still dream of having a WNBA star.
Congratulations! Three sisters, that is so so awesome.

Hey, if I can have a girl after 3 boys, there is still hope for you. Congratulations!
Why mess with a good thing. You make gorgeous girls, so continue making our population beautiful.
Congratulations! I can't wait to see how beautiful she is! We sure miss you guys! Happy Holidays!
Wow, Idefinitely know the feeling of waiting in the aiting room on the 3rd one,and when they tell you it's a girl for the 3rd time you just laugh....I'm happy for you guys,now that I have 3 girls I cannot even picture it any other way...
There is something special about families with 3 girls (not that I'm biased or anything!)
Congratulations! I think maybe our children are just destined to be together...your girls and my boys. I know just how you feel though, but in the opposite way. I'm excited to hear what name you agree on!
