Girls: 3 Boys: 1
Yep, yesterday was our big Ultrasound! It's a GIRL! Everything looks great and she is perfectly healthy and we are thrilled! The first thing out of Allen's mouth was "looks like our household expenses just went up another $10,000 a year." and then he got serious and said we need to set up a wedding fund for the girls. Too funny.
Carter was so sad when we told him. Telling him was truly the most heartbreaking experience of my life and I almost can't talk or write about it without crying again myself. He didn't believe us at first when we told him it was a girl and then when it finally sunk in he sobbed and sobbed. He kept telling us it just wasn't fair that he would never have a brother. We just kept reminding him that this baby girl is what Heavenly Father wants for our family and that we need to love her and be happy about it. It was hard but he will survive.
I have a ton of great pictures of her from the Ultrasound but I am swamped with life so I will have to scan them in and post later. She'll be a beauty just like her sisters, I'm sure.
{Sorry to leave you hanging yesterday - I had only gotten a few hours of sleep the night before, had a crazy busy day and fell asleep at about 8:00 p.m.}

My heart breaks for Carter simply because it broke in the same way for Isabel when we found out Mason was a boy, and that she'd forever have 3 brothers and no sisters. She sobbed after the ultrasound, her heart was broken. She loves her brothers, but still, every once in a while, says how she wished she would have gotten a sister. We tell her the same thing, that Heavenly Father sent a boy to our family, and that's what we needed. She'll need lots of good girlfriends, as Carter will need good guy friends. So happy baby girl looks healthy and things are good - one less thing, right? Congrats again!
Oh, that tugs at my heart strings. Poor Carter. I'm so glad to hear that baby girl is healthy and all is well. Congrats!!!
Oh, poor Carter! I understand a little. Charlie would also love to have a brother...hopefully baby number 5(we're not pregnant now, but some day I think I could handle another one) will bring a brother for him :).
congratulations! We sure love girls at our house and all things pink and princess related!
Congrats! You're right, she will be a beauty just like her sisters! I hope you're feeling well.
congrats on another healthy baby! poor carter - i'm sure he'll fall in love with her as soon as he sees her. we're so happy for you guys :)
In Gibber's words:
"Not another sister...I already have four of those!"
Congrats! You are such a cute girl that you daughters are just so lucky to have you. I feel for Carter because that's how I feel. I'm completely outnumbered with boys. We got our first girl (a dog) last week though so that helps a little.
Pooh Carter, that is just tough. However, I know and you know that as soon as that little girl is here he will be so thrilled with her he won't mind so much...
Anyway, so glad she is healthy and beautiful! Congrats!!
CONGRATS!!!!! How exciting for you guys. :) We are so happy for you. Miss you... HUGS!!! terri
Oh...I am just so happy for you guys. Three girls in a row is going to be so much fun. I am sad for Carter but I know (from experience) that as soon as she gets here it will seem like life couldn't have ever been any different. Plus...it doesn't *have* to be your last baby. Just sayin'. LOL
I guess the Baldwin girls' are only suppose to have one boy each!!! I feel bad for Carter because that's exactly how Mason felt when he found out that he was going to have ANOTHER sister! But like I said he doesn't even talk about it so Carter will be fine. Gotta love those girls!
Oh, I'd been watching! Congrats on another baby girl! I swear it seems that families nowadays are polarized with genders. So sorry that Carter is so sad. That was sad to read about! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
Wait until Carter sees her face - he's going to know she's perfect. A baby is a baby is a baby - and I've never met one that doesn't fill your heart to bursting!
I think we need some belly shots around here! And name talk. Come back soon!
Poor Carter. Kyla felt the same way. But once she gets here he will be fine. My brother was a lone boy. Congrats!!
