GIRL!!!!!

As it turns out, my highly scientific poll wasn't so scientific.
66% said boy (I was part of that 66%, including my husband)
33% were spiritually inspired and said girl.
As their reward for getting it right
they may each take turns rotating nights with the baby while I sleep...
SCORE!

We are thrilled.
Kaleb on the other hand? Not so much.

I think he's warming up to the idea of being stuck between 3 girls.
He's decided the Sally, Suzie, and Bob would all be acceptable names for the baby.

I love the video. The poor dude. I wanted a baby sister for years and ended up with three brothers. He'll laugh at that video. Someday. Congrats!

AmyG said...

I almost started crying along with Kaleb. Not that I am sad you are having a girl, but because I was that girl that always wanted a sister and only got brothers. You can always borrow our boy for a few hours. :) Ryan watched along with me. He told me that maybe we should switch so Kaleb could be happy.

Yay... I was righ- A girl. Congrats Ginn and Nate. Poor, poor Kaleb. Cute video.

Ginnie said...

Ya, that little video kills me. Poor kid is breaking my heart.

em said...

Congrats on another adorable little girl!! And seriously, that video brought me to TEARS.

(Of laughter, not sympathy, sorry Kaleb!)

How in the world did you not crack up while watching that unfold?? You are a stronger woman than I am, obviously!

And your kitchen. Love it. Nice work.

Sarah said...

Oh, that boy of yours is going to be S P O I L E D. He is going to have Nate wrapped around his finger ( which is totally fine in my opinion). Yay for another adorable girl. You have stinkin' cute girly girls which is so fun. I am thrilled for you guys. Can't want to chit chat. congrats.

Stephanie said...

awww that was so sad - it made me tear up! :( poor little guy.
BUT congrats to you & your family.. you do make some pretty stinking cute girls!

Unknown said...

oh boy. I mean, oh girl.
Where have I seen that face before... I'm trying to think... oh yeah, I think Curry made it for one brief second at the ultrasound. Tell Kaleb more sisters=more sisters' friends to date. Just what you want to hear, right mom?
CONGRATS PREGO

oh my goodness, this video is hysterical! i can't stop giggling! poor little dude! my husband feels his pain -- he's the only boy and has 3 sisters (and in the same order you have!), and when his youngest sister was born, i think he pretty much reacted this exact same way!

Angela said...

I love that you caught that moment on film.

My boys were also less than thrilled with our announcement of another sister, although they didn't shed any tears.

Just tell Kaleb that one day all of his sisters will get married and give him brothers(inlaw), at least that is how it finally worked out for my lonely younger brother. Thanks to our husbands, I think my brother figures all us girls were finally worth all the trouble.

Congrats to you.

Krista said...

poor guy. i think i'd react the same way if i was to have a 3rd

amyorr said...

My kids want to watch it over and over. I told them it's not nice to laugh at someones else pain. Though I kinda was. That is the saddest/cutest thing ever. Maybe #5 will be boy.

Emily said...

Congratulations!! I am happy for you! Sorry Kaleb ): You'll just have to keep trying for a brother (:

Merilee said...

Is it mean that I was laughing at the video..but poor Kaleb made me want to cry with him at the same time. I laughed when he said, "I don't like girls!" (He and Parker would get along great) He's so sad. Glad he is warming up.
Congrats! I am excited to for you to have another beautiful girlie!

Mindy said...

He won't be crying so hard when his cute sisters are bringing home all of their cute friends.
That was seriously funny.
Give him 3 or 4 names that you like and let him pick one or something like that.
Yay for you guys.

Jenny said...

Oh my gosh, that was so sad... I am mad at you for not giving him what he wants!! Just call a re-due! OH but another little girl I have two sisters and we have so much fun together and you will love to hang with your 3 daughters. Caleb will get a brother, next time!! Lucky you.

Tiffany said...

I can hardly handle how funny that video is. If I were you, I'd be sure to stress to your new baby each day (and throughout her entire life) how much you love her, even though Kaleb doesn't and never has.

Congratulations!

Your children are absolutely adorable - poor Kaleb, bless him!
I'm sure he'll come round to the idea.. well, guess he hasn't got much choice!

Ashley said...

Be sure to save this video to show to Kaleb when he wants to start dating or kissing girls...all too soon I am sure. Congrats! We are excited for you guys.

Sydney said...

Oh man, I'm tearing up with Kaleb. That was too sad. Maybe you should have them check again, he really, really wants a brother.

I love that you caught it on tape. Priceless.

Congrats and just so you remember, I was one who was spiritually inspired and I'll take my turn holding that newborn girl anytime you'd like/need.

Bryce and Miranda said...

Congrats on a little girl. That is so exciting. That video is great. I am still laughing but was sad for him being so sad too.

Janas Bananas said...

That video was awesome!! Good one to play at his wedding...Congrats on the baby girl!!

kami @ nobiggie.net said...

That video... Oh my Gosh! It's so funny, yet sad all at the same time. Poor little buddy.

ps. A Girl! How fun!

J Glazier said...

YAY! I voted girl but I was really hoping BOY for Kaleb :-)

The Skinners said...

That is such a sad little movie of Kaleb. He is heartbroken! I guess you will have to have more kids after this so he can have a brother. Congrats on a little girl! She will be beautiful like her sisters.

Amy said...

Congratulations, Ginnie! But gotta tell you, knowing my history with seeing Kaleb cry, I am sure you can guess my reaction. Poor little guy!!!

krista said...

oh my heck, that is so sad. i wanted to cry with him! but your girls are so dang cute, you can't really go wrong with either! congrats!

The Perry family said...

Congrats! I like girls, even if Kaleb doesn't. THat video is so funny and so sad at the same time. Poor kid. Well, at least Macie gets what she wants!

allegra said...

oh, that made me cry. not because it wasn't kinda funny...because it kind of is, but i'm just overly emotional with this pregnancy so everything even remotely funny comes across as being sad:) he he. poor little guy. he'll soon forget he's sad when he gets to hold her and love her. he'll grow up knowing what women want and how to get along with girls! a wife's dream!:)

the mama monster said...

oh poor boy. maybe one day he will get his brother. congrats to you guys though.

Krystal said...

Oh poor Kaleb! I really almost cried with with him/for him. It was so sad to see his face, then all those tears come, and just pain. He was truly as sad as you can get. Can you work on a boy for that kid as soon as this one coms?!!! That is priceless! Well have fun with another girl! Any ideas on names? Congrats!!!

Melynn said...

Congratulations!! IT's a girl!! Too bad for Kaleb. So sad for him, and that video is so funny.

It was great seeing you at Old Navy. It was so fun to tell my "new" friend about what an "old" friend you were.
