If you know me, then you know I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life. Tea parties, daddy-daughter dances, recitals, afropuffs, and more. I am READY! I can& #39;t believe I& #39;m finally about to get my baby girl!

Well I tell yall I& #39;ve been waiting for a baby girl my ENTIRE life, I& #39;m not joking lol. Look what my mom wrote in my baby book back in & #39;98

My parents ended up havin two more boys and I& #39;m the oldest. So it was just a house full of men and my mom lol. They wanted a daughter too (put a pin in that) but called it quits after my youngest brother. So MY dreams of having a littler sister, translated into having a daughter

And I& #39;ve been tweeting about it ever since

And this

Jayla is SUPER confident for weeks it& #39;s another boy. I& #39;m on the fence because I& #39;m trying not to get my hopes up again. But EVERYONE one both side of the family thinks its a girl. My dad and grandma are so confident it& #39;s a girl they made a $100 and $50 bet with Jayla.

Some weeks past and we go to the gender ultrasound appointment... My heart pounding. Hands sweaty. Couldn& #39;t sleep the night before. So the doctor is moving around the baby showing us the hands, feet, head, armpits, and I& #39;m just sitting there looking at the screen like COME ON!

She finallyyyy moves down and goes you ready? And types

G-I-R-L

Me:

I& #39;m hype. Jayla is hype. We ALL hype. We doing backflips back to the car. Just HYPPEE. So we figure out a plan to tell my parents the news. Now (pick the pin up) remember my parents have been wanting a girl BAD. So, of course, we had to record the moment they found out...

To tell my parents the gender, I acted like I was upset about something in order to get their attention... and the rest went exactly how I envisioned it

So yeah, we& #39;re all excited and looking forward to this new chapter in our lives!

We appreciate all the congrats and well wishes!
