It's a Girl!

My niece was invited along to the expectant mother's latest ob-gyn appointment, heard the heartbeat, and now knows the baby's gender.

Of course I'm relieved that the pregnancy is going smoothly. But more than that, this makes me happy because it indicates how committed the mom is to having my niece and her husband adopt the baby. 

I worry about niece because the birth mother has 72 hours after the baby's birth to change her mind. I love my niece very much and don't want her to have to endure that. But statistically, that is not likely. Plus the expectant mom is spending more time with my niece and that's a good sign. 

I'll breathe easier when that baby girl is sleeping in the room my niece and her husband have been calling "The Nursery" since before Christmas.
