I had a dr.'s appointment today. I was going to be seeing a different dr. than I normally do. My Dr. had to go out of town at the last minute. I had been planning on asking my dr. to do another ultrasound to try and get a peek at the gender of our little one. When I found out that I would not be seeing MY dr, I was a little concerned. I knew I wouldn't feel comfortable asking this new dr that I had never met. Since I found out this new information, I began to pray. I prayed specifically that the dr would offer to check for me without me having to ask at all. I knew it wasn't likely for him to take time out of his busy day to check this insignificant (not to me, but to him) thing. But I still prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed. I really wanted to know the sex of this baby. So, we head into my appointment and I am sure you can guess what happened:
Dr. Says : Hi, I'm Dr. so and so
Shake hands
Ryan: Hi! I'm Ryan
Me: I'm Suzanne
Dr.: Who is this?
Ryan; This is Gavin
literally next sentence:
Dr.: Do you know what you are having?
Me: No, the baby wouldn't cooperate at the ultrasound
Dr.: Well, I'd be happy to take a look, if you want
Me (inwardly): WHO HOO
Me (audibly): that would be wonderful
two minutes later we were looking at our beautiful baby girl. Talk about a specific answer to prayer. God cares so much even for the small things in our lives!
Then Gavin pipes up: I didn't want a girl, I wanted a boy!
He's excited now, but it just took a minute. He just knows he wont be able to wrestle with Charlotte Mae Dobbertin.

Love, love, LOVE the name! I'm sooo excited with you and for you! Gavin will make an awesome big brother - - - and we already know that you and Ryan are amazing parents!
Congrats!! "Mae" is my middle name also. That is my dad's mom's middle name. What a testimony of how God cares about the "little" things:).
oh my goodness! I am so soo happy for you guys :) What a joy to find out, isn't it? Our girls can be friends now :) I LOVE the name you guys have picked out! It is just gorgeous! I am sure that Gavin will be a great big brother (and i'm sure he will keep an eye out for his sister as she gets older :) Too fun. I am just so happy for you guys! So glad the doctor was able to see everything clearly. God is so good!
How exciting to have a GIRL!!! Charlotte has been my favorite girl name for a while! So if God ever gives me a girl - which I hope He does! - I might have to steal the name. :) Of course, maybe I'll change my favorite girl name by the time that rolls around. Mae is adorable too - such a pretty combination. :)
