Only 50 more days!

I can't believe it, but there are only 50 more days (give or take a few) until this little girl is due. Now that I'm finally feeling mostly better, time is flying. I thought I would celebrate by explaining why it is such a big deal that we are having a girl. It's not just because we already have two little boys, but because boys are the norm in both of our families.
For example, this is a recent picture of Grandma and Grandpa Shirts and all of the grandkids. If you notice, the first two rows are all boys. We have four wonderful, marvelous girls in the family. However, the youngest one turns eight next month. There have been eleven babies born since then, all boys.

My family follows a similar pattern, just not as drastic. Nineteen of the grandkids are boys, while there are only 8 girls.

So, I just didn't plan on ever having a girl. I was shocked to find out that it is a girl, and even though we will not have an even dozen boys in a row on the Shirts side (which would have been cool too), we can't wait for Baby Girl to join the family.
