Last week we had our anatomy ultrasound, and Baby D 3.0 appears perfectly healthy! It was nice timing to find that out right before Mother's Day, another reassurance and reason to thank God for everything He has given us.
A couple days later we had our first (and last, haha) gender reveal party...with our other two babies we found out during the ultrasound, but decided to do something different for the tiebreaker! The original plan was to shoot Kevin with paintballs (the correct color put in by my dad, who was the first to read the gender from the top secret envelope). However, since it's been over a decade since I've played paintball, I forgot that CO2 tanks generally leak when you leave them screwed into the guns. Unfortunately, Kevin needed to make sure that my aim wasn't going to leave him maimed for life, so we did a little target practice on Monday, and by Friday the CO2 was gone. So my dad left the party to buy some emergency silly string, and that's how Kevin narrowly escaped being shot for the first time.
Foiled plans aside, we're having a GIRL!
We're all very happy, although Isla has been sad all week because she thought the baby was coming that day. She can't wait for her baby sister!
