I'm going to have a sister!

So, lately, Elena has been insisting that she's going to have a baby sister. Sometimes it's a brother, but most often, it's been a sister. I would say, "Well, maybe someday dear, God willing," and she'd say, "No, I'm going to have a sister!" And I would respond back, "Well, not yet, unless you know something we don't."

Kids are always wanting siblings.

Except that we just found out today that we're expecting! We told Elena. She wasn't surprised. It was old news to her. She went back to what she was doing. It seems to me that the time of conception (about three weeks ago) was about when Elena's intense interest in her sister picked up. Sure it might be a coincidence, or maybe God told her already, but either way this time I'll be particularly interested in what the sex of the child will be. I want to see if she's right.
