Ella wanted a girl

We have been explaining to the kids that we didn't know if we would have a boy or girl, but we would find out when mom had the baby. Ella thought for sure that she was going to get a baby sister. We called Ella first yesterday to tell her that she had a baby brother. A few hours later, my mom and sisters brought the kids over to meet Luke. On the way over, Ella told my mom "Mom and Dad picked out the wrong baby!"

Sorry kiddo, we didn't have a lot of choice in the matter. But the upside is that Ella gets a room all to herself now, while her poor brother's will be crammed in the bunkhouse room for the rest of their childhoods...
