I just knew it! Yay for the Fisher family! Not to diminish boys in any way, but it's a neat experience to have a daughter. You won't be *quite* so outnumbered now. ;0)

What do the boys think?

Yay! I am so excited for all of you!! Can't wait to hear what the boys reactions are! Congrats!

Leah said...

Will you write today more about the finding out experience & people's reactions IRL? :)

Davene Grace said...

Leah, I do plan to do that. This whole experience is so precious that I don't want to forget a thing. :)

I probably won't have time to do much writing until tonight, after the boys are in bed. But that's probably not a surprise, since that's my usual pattern when it comes to blogging. :)

Thanks so much for being interested!

What exciting news!!! You are going to adore having a baby girl!

:-) I knew you'd get that girl eventually--good thing you kept trying :-P





(And, yes, I know you weren't "trying for a girl", but no doubt that's what the rest of the world will think--especially if she ends up being your last.)

I left a comment for you yesterday and it's not showing up! Just so happy for you, Davene, and for God's perfect plan for your family! I cried when I read the news - this is no joke. So, so happy.

Elizabeth said...

Davene, my sister Marie was the one who spilled the beans about your news! I am so ECSTATIC for you all!!!! I am late in leaving a comment, but once I found out I read through all your posts and couldn't stop smiling!!! Oh what joy!!!! And how wonderful that this special little girl will have FOUR big brothers looking out for her and caring for her!

I am praying for a girl for us one day :) In Benjamin's family and my family there are only boys. So all us sisters/sisters-law are on a race to see who gets the first girl :P

God is sooooo good!
