Huh? Mike and I suspected this was yet another case of Gabriel deciding it was best to placate his big sister's passionate desires and minimize conflict. Probably if he prayed for a little sister too it'd be in the bag, and then his Didi would be so very happy!
Well. We have an ultrasound scheduled this Friday, at which point we will likely know whether this baby is a little brother or a little sister. Last night before bedtime we were all on the big bed talking about it, and Gabriel set us straight about why he changed his mind.
"If it's a brother, I won't be Didi's favorite brother anymore. But if it's a sister, I'll still be her favorite."
Oh. Mike and I looked at each other, speechless. These two have been a pair for so long! The impending change is already rippling through all of us in ways we are quietly discovering and absorbing, one moment at a time.

Just sitting here tearing up, at the tenderness of this moment for you and the way sweet Gabriel has already sorted it all through.
sigh.
Something tells me that whether it's a brother or a sister for Frances and Gabriel, when the time comes to meet the newbie, the love will be boundless all around. xoxo
