Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

It's a GIRL!!!!!!!

Yes, it's true! We are thrilled beyond thrilled to be having a HEALTHY baby girl!

When the ultrasound tech told me, I immediately sat straight up and covered my mouth in shock. I about jumped off the table all together! I was simply NOT expecting it. I was full of shock and excitement. I just felt like I was a boy producing mom, so when she said "you're having a girl," my world was immediately turned upside down. Yay!!! How exciting! 

Joel is just as thrilled! He thought all along it was a girl, so it wasn't quite the shock to him. He is so very excited about a little girl to love on.

Here are a few glimpses from our day of celebration:

 

See the three lines? Clearly a girl. The ultrasound tech said she would bet her first born's life on this one, so I think it's safe to say it's a girl :)

  I ordered the boys a cake from a local bakery right after I found out. It was a very fun way to tell them the news. Carter kept saying afterwards, "Mama, can you believe it's a girl?!" Sweet boy is so excited. He had waited all day long for that cake.

Here is a video the cake cutting. Notice Carter says he wants her name to be "Baby Emerson." And Coop says it's a "gull." Priceless moments.

 

Baby girl and I are still outnumbered by our guys :) Just means we will be extra loved and protected.

 

Surprise faces....love Coop's. Hee Hee.

All thanks to our merciful God for the blessing of a healthy baby girl. We are thankful beyond words. An unforgettable day.
