Oh joy. Is it too easy to say now after the ultrasound that I knew it? I knew it. Ask anyone. For the most part I am 7 for 7 in guessing the gender, though was admittedly if-y with our Joseph. Though he was such a beautiful baby boy, that I feel like just as many points were earned for being not so sure. Most importantly of course, she looks just fine and healthy. She also looks SO much like our Eleni did on ulstrasound. Wiggley too, knowing she was getting poked and played with.
And on an entirely selfish and indulgent note, I simply cannot wait to start sewing and knitting and embroidering and crocheting. It has been 9 years since we had a baby girl in this house and I have never had the chance at so much fabric and such with a new girl. I'm in heaven and so thankful!
Now I have a pink strawberry cake to frost.
have a gorgeous weekend, xoAM
Lots of pink - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThe sweetest congratulations to you and your family, Anna! Thanks for sharing the news. This baby is one lucky gal... :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I guessed girl, too. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAww! Congratulations! Have fun creating for your new sweet girl :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing news, congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anna Maria! Would you believe me if I told you that I suspected a girl too? ;)
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am glad to hear that she is healthy and happy in there. :) Enjoy all your girly crafting!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on healthy GIRL! I had a pink feeling, believe it or not.
ReplyDeleteLet the pink creating commence!
xoxo
Oh, you lucky duck! So well deserved and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm delighted for you. Not only are girls lovely to sew for, I also much prefer the naming choices! (Although I have one of each so sewing & names aside, I think they're equally delicious). Florence x
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This is going to be one lucky baby girl, between all of the things you'll make her and the love she'll get from the entire family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky little baby sister she's going to be with all your creations to wear and all those loving siblings to snuggle with and entertain! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteYay for your happy babe! When you posted last and I saw the pink and yellow booties in the foreground of one of your pics, I thought maybe you "knew" in some way. We have 5 girls and 2 boys. LOTS of clothes sharing here!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new blessing! Can't wait to see what all you make for her!
ReplyDeleteSO cute! I love those pictures, when you seem to see so much of the baby in your belly... knowing that she will still change such a lot and be her unique self, only to be discovered after birth... It's a real wonder, isn't it? Oh, I wanna have one too! ;-) Seven, thats a great number, I'd say. We have been eight and I am the eldest of them... Now I have four myself and don't think that my latest baby will be my last one ;-)
ReplyDeleteWish you all the very best! Bora from Switzerland (who ADORES your fabric design and is right now looking for a pattern to use one of your flannel fabric out of my stash...)
I knew it! Congratulations and so glad all is healthy and well. As the mother of four girls I can't wait to see what she inspires you to make.
ReplyDeleteBaby girl baby girl...how wonderful Anna! And how lucky she is to become part of such an incredibly warm, nurturing, creative and beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled for you. Can't wait for the baby girl creativity to begin. Lucky, lucky baby!
ReplyDeleteMaurice Chevalier said it all - thank heaven for little girls. How wonderful for you. That's one little baby who won't be short of outfits!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your girl!! I am so excited for your family, and I must admit, that ultrasound photo is giving me a severe case of I-want-another-baby-itis. ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteCongrats! We just added our 5th girl to the family over here. I am horrid at guessing gender. I was positive our first was going to be a boy.

Congratulations to you all! I agree, is it selfish to want to know the gender of the baby so we can sew and knit and crochet to our heart's content? I would...
ReplyDeleteHappy days!
Haven't been here for a while & I'm so happy for your great news! Can't wait to see your new creations for your little one. I will definitely visit more often now that I'm back from China picking up my first little girl. I'm in heaven myself! Congratulations to you again!

ReplyDeleteBetsy
What a wonderful event! Huge congratulations to your whole brood!
ReplyDeleteOh...congratulations!! Enjoy getting ready for her!
ReplyDeletePrecious.. congratulations. A little bit of pink does the heart good!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! x
ReplyDeleteHow happy for you!! You are inspiring me . . . we lost a baby in June and I was thinking that maybe I just couldn't do it again . . . but maybe I can. Maybe. Thanks for sharing your journey and little one!
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonder in countless ways. Best wishes to all of you!
ReplyDeleteYay for little girls! She is going to be one amazingly dressed and accessorized little girl! I can't wait to see what you create for your new baby girl.
ReplyDelete*Such* lovely news! Having five sisters myself I think you can never go wrong with another girl :o)
ReplyDeleteThe best news ♥ Congratulations and happy stitching, knitting crochet ♥
ReplyDeleteOh, congrats! Our 2nd girl (4th babe) is due in about 7 weeks. Such a special time. I hate to admit I had such great plans for sewing, but I haven't done a thing. I'll just have to live vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, a girl! I only got one out of three. And I do love little girly things. So what does that make your numbers now? I mean, ages and genders. I know you have a daughter about 19 and a son, Roman about 3, who's in between?
ReplyDeleteWe have girl 20, boy 15, boy 13, girl 11, girl 9, boy 3, and now girl tie breaker!

Yay! I love little boys, but girls are extra fun to dress. *smile* Can't wait to see her!
ReplyDeletexoxoAchaia
Congratulations, another beautiful daughter! We too will be welcoming our first granddaughter, this year!! Our daughter's due date is April 2!! I have sewn a few items, but have plans to really create as she becomes a toddler! I love sewing summer dresses & p.j's!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how wonderful! I have a girl and then three boys (the youngest just turned one and the other three kids are 9, 7 and 5) so I know what you mean. I have used 'Handmade Beginnings' so much for my littlest, but I have to keep finding friends' baby girls to sew your girl patterns for! Happy sewing, crocheting, knitting, and day dreaming! x love Hannah
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Kisses from Portugal

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you all! Can't wait to see what great projects you create!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing. Our seventh (and baby at 15 months) was also a girl and 8 years after our last girl.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes,

ReplyDeleteI feel like I might know a bit of the joy and blessing you are experiencing... We just had our 2nd daughter (our 4th baby) at the end of December. There are 10 years (and two brothers) between the girls, but it's so wonderful they are sisters! And I love getting to experience the girl thing again (though I have to admit, the boys are a bunch of fun, too!).
ReplyDeletecongratulations on the lovely news! always so exciting!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many children out there that could do with a bit of love............
ReplyDeleteThis little girl is Blessed from the start! As a pediatric nurse I've cared for many of the less fortunate. Children are meant to born with this love and opportunity. Prayers to you and your family for a healthy baby!
