We found out a week ago that the little baby entering our family this year is a girl. We are all so excited! I thought for a long time it would be a boy, so a girl was such a welcome surprise!
Periodically, we would ask Macey if it was a baby girl or a baby boy in mommy's tummy. We always got a different answer, but it was fun to ask! About a week before we were going to find out if it was a boy or a girl, we were getting ready for dinner.
It was a whirlwind dinner! I felt like I had been running around like crazy trying to get everyone's dinner and comb Macey's hair after bath time. I finally sat down, and was a bit frustrated. We started to eat.
In the middle of eating, a while after we had said prayer, Macey stops eating. She gasps and says, "Girl, girl, girl." I was still frustrated, so in passing, I asked, "what girl? who are you talking about?" Macey then said, "Girl, pray. Girl, pray." I still had no idea who she was talking about. I asked what girl she wanted to pray for. She looked at me for a minute, I think willing me to understand what she was saying. She then pointed to her tummy. I asked if she wanted to pray for the girl in mommy's tummy. She said, "yeah!"
At that point, my emotions were so close to the surface. I felt that we were having a girl, and I think Macey felt that too. Scott had to say the prayer for the baby girl in mommy's tummy because I couldn't get out the prayer.
I am convinced that there has been the spirit of a little girl around our home. It makes me so happy to think that Macey and Cooper are getting acquainted with her already.
We are so excited for baby Jemma to be here!
