It’s A………

GIRL!

We are so excited for Brooke to have a little sister that will be close to her in age! My sister and I were so close growing up. I always considered her one of my best friends and now I hope my girls will have that too! I think Josh is overwhelmed by the thought of being even more out numbered then he already is, but he is a sucker when it comes to his girls. I am thrilled to have another girl to dress up and do all the girly stuff with! And one of the best parts, we have three huge tubs full of pink and purple girly clothes!  All those outfits that I was so sad about when Brooke grew out of, can be used again!

Before going to our big appointment where we would find out the sex of the baby, we decided to steal an idea that my friend Melissa had told me about. The plan was to find out the sex of the baby while surrounded by our entire family. We took a card with an envelope to our appointment, with the intent of having the ultrasound tech write the sex of the baby in the card and seal it up for us. We told the ultrasound tech what we were doing, but during the ultrasound she accidentally let the news slip. She apologized profusely.

That evening we invited several family members over to find out the news. We made a poster with “It’s A……… Boy / Girl” written at the top and made everyone sign their names under which one they thought. Then we had the two grandmothers open the card. When the news was announced, the ones that guessed right were put into a drawing for movie tickets, my brother in-law Chris was the lucky winner! Then those that guessed wrong were put into another drawing. This was for a toilet tape dispenser (which actually most of the guys thought this was really cool) and Josh’s mom was the lucky winner for that!

We had a great evening , just chatting with family and celebrating the news! We are so grateful to everyone that came to support us and celebrate with us! We have an amazing family! This little girl is definitely going to be loved!
