Gender reveal

I lost the battle! The battle of knowing gender or not! I was outnumbered and out emotioned (making up my own words, get used to it) 
We started the day off with regular get ready for school activities and responsibilities, but by 11am we were picking up our Chasey girl (a promised ultrasound date) and dropping off the Buggy (aka malachi who can't sit that long) and we were headed to lunch! 
Olive Garden is always Chasey and daddies first choose, those two are similar and very much joys of my life. 

Next was......
The big reveal!!!!! An hour long ultrasound is fun and long hahahah it's an amazing feeling watching this baby that is inside of you, breathe and kick and punch and wiggle and imagine it's so much smaller than it looks and yet so Human and so Real. The baby wouldn't turn to its side for them to get the inside tummy pics they needed so at one point they had me doing jumping jacks, toe touches, and squats to get it to move.. I told them I don't know if this will work it's used to me running its moved by little. 
Sure enough hop back on the table NOTHING.... It's still in the same spot mind you tucked little legs crossed feet means no gender either! 
After about 45 min of pics and measurements SHE revealed herself... 
Lack of boy parts people... Shock of my life #2.... 
My sweet Chasey started crying and gave me the biggest hug as I was laying on the table, saying "I prayed for this mom I prayed so hard and God answers my prayers first for the baby, then for a sister!" I of course was crying then too;
I wish I could have packaged that moment into a picture or video but my terrible memory is all we will have,it was perfect!
 Baby Syphard #4 is not a boy as my husband and I were convinced, and we will have another princess roaming around our small castle. I know the Lord has bigger plans than we can even imagine therefor I know she belongs in our family. It was a shock (I don't know 50/50 seemed a long shot) but my world is so full right now with love and excitement and planning and feelings I haven't yet figured out;) 
  Hope you enjoyed my short story and I can't wait to share more with you. Be blessed and be a blessing know God is always working on our behalf and never leaves us wanting. He is a father and a giver and He knows the plans he has for us! And His thoughts are so much higher than ours- Jer 29:11
