These are my Glamour Girls! K Wertz and my Lexie Lou. Today, July 25th, is Alexandra's 7th birthday. It seems like yesterday that I heard my sister say, "It's a girl," and was still in shock when I then heard "Five pounds, 12 ounces." I said, "What?" and then said, "What?" Both facts had just shocked the bajeebers out of me. He was going to be named Alexander and no way was that thing making me feel so huge, only five pounds and 12 ounces at birth. I asked if they had really looked at the crotch closely, causing others to laugh, but I was serious. I'd had 2 boys and my brother was on his 3rd son. Lexie's dad is one of three boys, so the odds were pretty stacked that "Alexander was indeed, Alexander and not Alexandra!"
Seven years later I can tell you that this beautiful little girl, is indeed, a girl. She is my only daughter. Lexie was not to be the 'last child' her father and I had. Stephen followed her a couple years later. He was a joyous surprise as well..
Happy Birthday my only 'girlie,' and know, that I am so glad that day at 4:32 p.m., that the people in the birthing room were right and that Alexander was indeed, an Alexandra:)
