And we're having...

..A GIRL!!!!

No surprise here! This is the 1st time I am actually right about my guess (I thought Alathea & Abi were boys). I am actually very excited to join the "3 girls club" as some of my friends like to say. The only thing I can struggle with is thinking "oh, if we were having a boy, it would seem much more exciting to us and everyone else". I thought the same thing with Abigail. But, I have to remember how wonderful and exciting each and every baby is, no matter if its our very 1st boy or our 3rd little girl. I personally am excited. I love my life with little girls, so why not add to the sweetness? Alathea still says "but I wanted a brother". But then the next statement is about all the things she's going to do with her new sister. Hopefully she'll be OK :) And Joe, I think he's excited. I think I kinda wished this one could be a boy for his sake more than he did. He loves being king of the castle and loves how our little girlies adore him. So, there you have it, our 3rd sweet little girlie. She's due somewhere between June 13th-18th. That seems like a long time from now, but I'm sure it will come quicker than we think!! Can't wait to meet her!

HUGE Congrats Jeanie!! Three girls really is fun, but I totally understand everything you just posted.
Some men are just so gifted with girls and Joe and Jeremy are two of them! He'll be fine;)

My girls wanted a brother too, but they are totally smitten with Reese:)

Yay hooray! Little girls are the best, but I may be biased. Haha. Can't wait to meet the newest Little Miss Lechner.

My family had three girls before a boy came onto the scene... Ok, granted it was just for a few minutes (#3 and #4 are girl-boy twins). But still, having 3 sisters close in age has been an enormous blessing!!!! May the Lord shower you with His tender mercies with your three little girls growing up together in love and friendship!
