Baby Shamrock (and a winner!)
Monday, February 27, 2012 at 4:45PM We got a peek at Baby Shamrock today. And we discovered right away that
She is beautiful, with a sweet turned up nose, long legs, and chubby cheeks. (She is also healthy, which is the most important thing.) And she was not shy at all. She wanted me to know immediately and unequivocally that she is of the girlie inclination.
This will bring our familial total to one boy, three girls, and two female horsedogs. My poor husband and son are so outnumbered. But think of what a great husband my boy will be someday -- he will know all the things girls like.
My sister also has one boy, three girls, and up until recently, two female doggins. (One passed away due to old age and illness not long ago.) I swear these things are not planned.
While I was posting this picture, I also drew the winner of contest. I eliminated all of you who guessed boy (sorry, peeps!), and randomly selected Anne.
Anne, I'll send over your $25 gift certificate!
I've been waiting for this day for months! Girlie babies are awesome! Hooray!

Yay! Congratulations Anne! Also, congratulations Yarnista on the healthy baby girl :)
Yay! When I picked "boy", it was more from my tendency for wanting things to be balanced "just right" (hence, my nickname of goldilocks). Boys are wonderful, but girls are so much more fun to dress up, lol! Congratulations - to Anne as well!
I'm happy that baby shamrock is healthy. She has made you the Mom of three Irish girls!
Congrats to Anne too!
Congratulations!!!!!!! :)
Hurray for baby girls - they are the most fun! Congratulations, Anne - and congratulations Sharon - I bet you are over the moon!
Huh. Long legs? Wonder where she got those! Thank you for indulging the world and letting us know about Baby Shamrock!
Congratulations! I have three girls, too (no boys, though). They're such a team, and it helps that they can hand their clothes down to each other. I'm sure your older kids will have a wonderful time with Baby Shamrock. I hope you have a happy, healthy rest-of-the-pregnancy!
Yay! Girl babies are great!
So happy to hear all is well and baby is healthy! Congrats baby Shamrock is a girl! I guessed right,squeeee! I have 4 girls(plus some boys) and would love to have another girl (one more boy and one more girl would be awesomeness for me but healthy is what matters most!). Happy girly knitting...there are so many patterns to choose from!!!!! You have to be bubbling over with excitement!!!
Yeah! Congrats on having Three Irish Girls!!!
actually this is the news i wanted to hear... Girls rock!!! Congrats again!!! Three Irish girls rules!!!! :))))
I guessed girl and am thrilled to have been right - even if I didn't win the gf. :) Congratulations!!
That is interesting about you and your sister. I have G-G-B-G and my brother has G-G-B-G as well so yes interesting how that worked out. Oh and Congrats on girlie things :) Either way it is fun to make baby stuff. And now I can pick out colors for your new pink bean YAY!
So are you going to become 4 Irish Girls in the instance of fairness?
Also, you have the exact oppostie of my sister in law. Their oldest is a girl and the four following (which includes the twins due in a couple months) are all boys. One girl, four boys. Maybe you all should look into arranged marriages....
(I am totally joking about the marriages!)
Yay for the new baby sister!! And yay for baby knitting. :) Congrats Anne - I love that you give baby knits away. <3
Thanks for sharing your excitement with us, and best wishes for happy healthy rest of your pregnancy!
I swear I was totally gonna guess girl. :-D
Oh, I'm so glad little Shamrock is healthy, and very, very glad she is a girl.
I am totally biased. But then, I have a girl.
Blessings on you all; tell Mr. Yarnista he does go work.
GOOD, good work.
OMGosh !!! Congratulations on a cute and healthy little girl!! AND OMG I WON I WON I WON!!! I'm thrilled, thank you so much!!!!
Anne
YAY girl! You are right about your son making a good husband, ask me how I know. I have three brothers and all male cousins - how hard was it for me to find my soon-to-be husband and keep him happy? Not that hard :D
