It all began one hot, steamy July night...
but we can skip that part for EVERYONE'S sake.
On July 31st we thought we better take THE TEST.
We were both certain it would be negative, but apparently neither of us knew what we were talking about.
Then, we were both SURE it was a boy.
Again, neither of us knew what we were talking about because
IT'S A GIRL!
(Although, our subconsciouses must have been trying to help us out as we each dreamed it was a girl last night...)
Anyway, we're in the ultrasound (looking for gender at this point as the rest of baby looks healthy (which, I should add, I'm so grateful for, I know I'll spend some time tonight thanking God for all the blessings He has given me. Seriously, this whole things is nothing short of a miracle)) and I yell out, before the tech even has a chance, "It's a GIRL!?" After a few minutes of utter bewilderment I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I repeated "I can't believe it's a girl!" for about 2 hours. Then, OF COURSE, my mom and I went shopping for clothes and yarn for me to begin my knitting endeavors (still to no avail!).
Eric and I had been looking forward to today for the past 3 months. I woke up at 6 AM this morning b/c the excitement was too much for me. It was like I was 6 years old on Christmas morning. We're already so grateful for this tiny angel that pokes me all day long. We thought we'd be content once we knew the gender and that everything appeared healthy, but now we can't wait until she actually gets here!
Anyway, we'll keep praying for a happy, healthy baby girl!
