A few days later while playing, Tyler hit Jessica's stomach. Of course she told Tyler, no we don't do that. I chimed in and said, "Tyler, don't hit your little brother like that." Grace unglued herself from her morning cartoons and again protested, "THE BABY IS NOT A BOY, IT'S A GIRL!" Jessica told her that she better keep praying then and ask God for a baby sister. If you feel for Grace's plight, then join her as she prays for a baby sister. Click here to read Part 3

I Want a Sista - Part 2
Jessica and I were in our room talking while Grace was playing. I asked Jess, "If the baby is a boy, what do you want to name him?" As we thought about it I offered the name "Tommy (Thomas)." Grace, who seemed oblivious to our conversation before that, immediately stopped her playing and said, "Noooooo, that's a boys name. Were having a girl." I was laughing inside and I couldn't help teasing her a little bit. I responded by saying to Jess, "How about Mark?" Of course Grace yells, "NOOOOO! its a girl!"

I stumbled onto your blog, and I can sympathize. My daughter prayed and prayed (and argued/fought) that the child I was pregnant with last year was a girl (she too already had a little brother). I can say that she took the birth of her second little brother very well, and now proudly procliams that she is "the luckiest little girl in the world."
Man - she even looks gorgeous with crazy hair!
Lol. Grace sure is confident that she's going to have a sister! Well, I guess I will pray along with her then that God's will is for another baby girl. How funny! But if it's not then I will pray that she takes it as well as Anonymous's daughter did. How do you think she'll react if it's another boy?
I think she will do okay. If it is a boy we will tell her before it's born to get her used to the idea. If it is a girl we will surprise her when it is born. She insists that it is a girl and won't even entertain the thought of a boy. She gets made if we even talk about boy names. It will be fun to see how this turns out.
