The Three Amigas
Published by Jenny June 28th, 2008 in Day to DaySo apparently, we have very modest children (at least in utero anyway - hopefully, that is always the case!). At our 20-week ultrasound, Dr. Love said he wasn’t 100% sure about the gender of the baby, but he was leaning toward a girl based on what he “did not see.” He suggested we take another peak after a few more visits to be sure. So last Friday we snuck into the ultrasound room for a few minutes to see if our little cherub was any more revealing. After an initial shock of hearing him say “well, you may have broken the mold this time” (and then later his realizing that was the umbilical cord he saw), Dr. Love finally felt confident saying that we are indeed expecting another pink blessing, another baby girl. I have to admit, I was relieved. I have been expecting a girl and dreaming about a girl and a girl just “fits.” One of the gals in our bilingual playgroup coined the phrase “Las Tres Amigas” and it kind of stuck with me. I think they will have a lot of fun being all girls so close in age. I’m sure there will be phases that are challenging, but I hope they can be friends and enjoy going through things together. We have not gotten very far with names yet, but you’ll have to wait until the big day to find out what we’ve chosen anyway. Less than 10 weeks to go (we’ll find out if Labor Day really is Labor Day)!!

Oh yeah, it’s clear to me from the picture! NOT! I don’t know how they can see anything at all other than there’s one baby!
Yay! I didn’t know that there were doubts. It would’ve been hard to change your mind about things at this point. Good luck! Our prayers are with you for a safe and smooth delivery.
Yay! Super cute ultrasound! =)
How exciting! We might have to lean on your girls for girl play buddies. Most of our friends have boys. And playing ‘dress up’ and ‘baby shower’ just isn’t cutting it for Fulton anymore!
Hey JR & Jenny. I was trying to decide how to congratulate you on your three girls and after visiting with Livy yesterday and listening to her beg to go fishing with Abby I figure you will get your share of outdoors and tough stuff along with all the dollies and dress up.
Just in case you need to de-feminize your girls, you send them up here. The boys will be glad to help. I posted a conversation from last night over at my site. http://from-the-lyons-den.blogspot.com/
e-GRATUALTIONS on the beautiful baby!
It was such fun visiting with you and the girls–well, Livvy anyway. Molly didn’t say much! I think 3 little girls so close is wonderful. The first 2 are such dolls that the new baby will be too.
Love,
GG
On behalf of Grandpa Kane and Grandpa Andrews, I think you need to honor your roots and come up with a different title for the group.
We would be very proud to call them our Irish Triplets even if some might not think that was quite proper.
So rather than try to rename the group, we will be happy with “The Three Amigas”
and give them a motto for life from the Gaelic Irish……
Deirfiúracha de sheans, cairde de rogha - sisters by chance, friends by choice.
Stay healthy and happy, and call Mike (Grandpa Kane) for any pronuniaitons.
As always
Grandpa Andrews
I know what you mean about “expecting a girl and dreaming about a girl and a girl just ‘fits.’” Though we don’t know what we are having, with two boys already, a boy “just fits.” In fact we have our boy’s name picked out and have all but given up on narrowing down a girl’s name. Won’t we be in for a shocker if we’re wrong! But, our 4-D u/s revealed a sweet little face that looks just like Will in utero, so that’s what we’re going off. We’ll see who goes first come September!
