Ridiculous

A couple of months ago I lost all self control and ended up spending more money than necessary on clothes for our baby without knowing the sex. Brian has been convinced all along that we are having a boy, so when I saw all of these adorable little boy outfits I couldn't help myself!! It was completely compulsive and ridiculous. I kept telling myself that I have 90 days to return it, and we'll know the sex by then so no big deal. I had myself convinced that we were having a boy and became quite attached to the idea...



until we found out that today that we are having ANOTHER GIRL!!! I was totally shocked after fully expecting the sonographer to say that it was a boy! But we are ridiculously excited that we are having another daughter! We are blessed beyond words to have a healthy little girl on the way, scheduled to arrive sometime around February 13. I was kind of nervous to tell Brian that it was a girl after he had been so convinced that it was a boy, but he could not have been more excited! He was so sweet about the thought of having two little girls to love. What a perfect surprise for us! The things we may do may be ridiculous, but the Lord's plan for our lives is perfect! We are so grateful!

Now I'm off to Target to return a few things!!

Delayed Gratification

I was hoping to have some exciting news on the sex of the baby today, but we will have to wait until Wednesday. I received a call this past Wednesday that the sonographer had to be out today, so we rescheduled for next week. The same day Elisabeth and I came down with a virus and have been sick ever since. We were supposed to fly home yesterday, but were too ill to make it on the plane. We'll be staying with Brian's family a few more days before we head home. What a blessing it has been to be taken care of during this time...I'm not sure how Elisabeth and I would have fared on our own!

I took a ridiculous amount of pictures while on our trip so I plan to post some of them soon. We had a wonderful trip and a great two weeks with Brian. He is loving his rotation in Oregon, for which I am so glad, but I cannot wait to have him home and enjoy the rest of his "easy" year!!

I will also post about the baby after we find out Wednesday morning. I could not be more excited to know who this precious baby is that is kicking around inside of me!!
