Mother's Intuition?

In junior high and high school I played volleyball against Gretchen Hertz and she became a great friend of mine this fall when we coached volleyball together at LC. Both of us found out we were pregnant during volleyball season and had a fun time going through our pregnancies together as first time moms. Her due date was June 15. Gretchen & her husband, Evan, decided not to find out the sex of their baby until the delivery room, like us. Here we are together as pregnant ladies this winter...

About three weeks before Clara was born, I had coffee with Gretchen. We talked about how we were both pretty much certain we were having boys. I'll admit I was pretty much sure I was carrying a little XY combo. Gretchen was just as certain (maybe more so).

Of course you know that I have no intuition because my little bundle of joy turned out to be a little girl! When Gretchen came to visit she said that I'd made her second guess her instincts. Still, though, she thought she had a little boy cooking in her oven.

That is why I thought it was so great when she had a GIRL on Tuesday! Little Louisa Kay Linda Miller entered the world and shocked her as well. Ha! Secretly I was just glad that someone else was lacking in the mother's intuition:). Here we are with the little girls that we thought were boys!
