Sugar & Spice....

That's what little girls are made of...

IT'S A GIRL!

First off, let me say that David and I are SOOOO excited! While we are very excited, we also happened to be a little shocked (got over this shock in less than 5 minutes) and many of you know why! At about 11 1/2 and 13 weeks, we had two ultrasounds that, at the time, looked like a little boy was hanging out with us. The ultrasound tech, Jenny, explained that it was still very early and a lot is forming around those time periods that can change daily, so not to start planning quite yet. Nevertheless, being the "planners" that we naturally are, we have been thinking about "him" for the last few weeks.....talking about names, spending lots of time looking at blue fabrics (that would be me), etc.

THEN, we go in yesterday and immediately there was silence in the room as our heads all turned to try to figure out what exactly we were looking at. It looked completely different than the few weeks prior! Jenny confidently said, "Well guys, you have yourselves a little girl!" My, how things changed over those weeks because we now have 100% girl, girl, girl! For sure, no questions about it!

She is healthy and throws a little party for herself every day around noon, 3pm, and 6pm. She likes to play tricks on David and not kick when he is trying to feel. I doubt that she is going to be the bashful one, but for now, she holds out on him! I am sure that will change over the next couple of weeks.

We are so thrilled to have a daughter on the way! I cannot wait to see how she wraps David around her little finger, I cannot wait to share the special relationship with her that me and my mom have, I cannot wait to play dress up with her and have tea parties, I cannot wait to watch her love her Daddy and want to marry a man as good as him, and I cannot wait to teach her about Jesus. 

Please keep praying for her as she continues to grow. I promise to post more often between doctor visits. Now that we know for sure, we will keep you in the loop about names, nursery planning, and all the other fun girly stuff! We are so blessed to have all of you be a part of this special time. Thanks again for being so good to us and to baby girl!
