We walk into my appointment she starts preparing and says to me, “SO, HAVE YOU PICKED OUT NAMES”
I responded with a smile, “AS LONG AS YOU TELL ME THAT IT IS A BOY!”
She smiled.
I uncovered my belly.
She pressed the little instrument down.
In about three seconds she said…
IT’s a GIRL.
I SQUEALED…. WHAT! NO YOUR LYING…
She said, “Oh no right here bottom up, all her girly parts showing…
That was about all I remember from the whole rest of the sono.
I think my jaw was dropped and I was just staring at Nick the whole time.
No one in our immediate families has ever had a girl first, so it just seemed so unlikely.
I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT!
I am super excited!!! Really I cannot wait…. The girl stuff you can do is endless!!!! My family keeps saying she will still be a Softball player…
My response is A DARN CUTE ONE!
I totally feel like God has proven himself to me. I have tried to plan and prepare my whole life. I am never surprised because I usually take over the situation. This was one area that he had total control and he showed me that no matter what you want and what you have planned he is in CONTROL… That’s right Natalie no matter how many boy names you have picked out. No matter how sure you are because you roll out of bed feeling MANLY…
He has a plan for you and it is perfect!
I am so thankful for the peace I have felt knowing that this blessing is given to me from my father in Heaven who knows me better than I know myself. He knows what I can handle and what will bring me most joy…. It is a precious baby girl in the beginning of July. I couldn’t STAND it. HAD to go shopping. Hence the photos.
(The first one is from one of my best friends Mom the day after we found out. She was So proud she beat my mom!)
We have so much ahead of us that we cannot even imagine right now. Things that will be the hardest thing we have ever gone though. Also blessings and happiness that are brought through the greatest blessings we are able to recieve here on earth, our children. I cannot wait to start this journey, and have a family. I know mine is so dear to me… I want my own to experience the love and support that I have growing up and still do.
Nick is scared to have another ME running around… He thinks I am expensive for some reason… His brother has figured out approx what a child costs in its life to 18. When nick told my Dad he laughed. Not THIS little girl and pointed to me… We are factoring a little more than avg. I am all for cute baby girl things. I get it prom dresses, weddings, makeup…. One bonus though we won’t have a HIGH salon bill!!!! GOT it covered Nick should realize this is HUGE. ;o)
Also Momma Wendy I am making you proud listening to Mozart as I type this…. We are hoping for a SMART beautiful little baby girl!
