The beginning

Dear Sophie,

A year ago, we started planning on trying to fall pregnant with a little girl. We already had our 2 lovely boys and wanted to complete our family with one more baby. We wanted to try to have a girl, but of course would have been happy with a boy too!

I researched online to find some information about trying to have a girl. I found lots of information about a special diet to have and various vitamins to take to help us have a little girl.

I started the diet and in March 2012 we fell pregnant with a baby.

How did we feel?? SO excited!! And the countdown was on to the ultrasound to see if we were carrying a baby girl or boy.

After lots of thinking and waiting, our ultrasound day was finally here!! The lady did all of your measurements and I was so so nervous! Your big brothers came along to see "their baby" on the television screen. We were all so excited. At the end of the ultrasound the lady said "well, there is nothing between the baby's legs, so 95% it's a... GIRL"

In that moment, I had tears in my eyes. Tears of happiness that our little girl was on her way.

I wanted to make sure you really were a girl, so I booked in for another ultrasound just to check! I took Grandmum along to that ultrasound and yep, you were still a girl ;)

Love, Mum xx
