"Mr. Bean" Sure did take me by surprise. The little stinker had me fooled the whole time! I never thought twice about it being a girl until yesterday I thought "ya know, it could be girl" but that thought quickly left. The nurse asked if we wanted to know and I said yes (Me, Billy & Abby were there) and she told Abby it was a SISTER!! I was confused, I said "are you suuuuuure???" And she said yes. Abby said "ahh I wanted a boy!" But she just smiled and didn't say much. So MISS BUN it is!! I'm still taken by surprise but it's sinking in. I always wanted another girl, I feel like I can relate to this baby now whereas before thinking it was a boy I felt kind of alienated. I can't imagine what it will be like to have TWO girls. I wonder how she will be different from Abby, her characteristics, her personality. Will she like to play fight like Abby? Play football like Abby? Make a home for her ladybugs like Abby? Will she be a momma's bed sleeper like Abby? Will she get into everything like Abby did? Will she be as smart as Abby? Will she look at me with those big blue eyes when she's born as if she knows just who I am and study my face like Abby did when she was born? AHHHHHHH. Well I guess we can start looking into girl names now. Girls are so fun. PINK, PURPLE, FRILLY, FROOFY, GIRLY, LACY!! I love it!!! I think Billy is excited. He said there will be 'too much estrogen in the house'. I think he expected a boy too but I guess this just means we'll have to try again for a boy one day (eventhough he thinks we're not having anymore! muwahahahaha!). So I will just take a minute and apologize to my little bun, for thinking you were a little boy and calling you a him eventhough you're a her. Poor baby. Well I should have known when I was in the hospital Wednesday feeling like it was my dying day, that this little Bunny would have been another trouble making girl. Boy was that not fun. I don't think I've ever been so thirsty in my life. When I was finally able to drink, I drank and drank and was still so thirsty like a bottomless pit. All the memories of being pregnant with Abby came back. I had forgotten that feeling. Well I won't re-live the memory, so happy thoughts now! I'm feeling much better and hopefully the medicine they gave me will help in case I start to get sick like that again. The ultrasound pictures below are a lot clearer in person. I can't believe how much "she's" grown compared to the last ultrasound pictures! I have a DVD with the whole ultrasound recorded on it that I'll post as soon as I figure out how to get it on my computer since my cd drive is broken.

This post was touching. You bared all and told us your thoughts, where in the past you only told us the current facts. Well, we are so excited for you. It all seems real now, doesn't it? And this baby will have its own unique personality. And more drama in the house! Thats what another girl will bring!
Your scripture made me cry..
Yes, your scripture was so touching!!!! These were your inner thoughts that you posted so thanks for sharing them with your hen sisters. it was a satisfyingly long post too!!! so you want to have more children?? is this bc this pregnancy is going so well that you can imagine doing it again, have you always wanted more kids but were afraid of the pregnancy? a boy would change your life for sure. The new little girl will be such a blessing, each child is unique in their own way. it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, everything you may expect will just have to go flying out the window, bc this will be a different experience bc of her uniqueness that God will give her.
I too loved the post. Very touching. And your new baby girl will know exactly who you are the moment she lays eyes on you. The love you have in your heart now for your child will only MULTIPLY. It's amazing to think that you can love another child as much as you love your first. She's absolutely beautiful in her pictures. I can't wait to hold her precious little butt in my arms & kiss her all over!! She's a miracle from God! Much love baby Bun from your Auntie Erin!!!
This is great news! I kept waiting for an email from you with the announcement and realized i should look at your blog. Remember I had a Jessica and then a Bethany...two girls in a row (of course there were 2 more before that) nevertheless girls are easier when they're younger so the next 10 years will be great, then teenage girl land enters....on the opposite end boys are harder when they are younger and teenage land is easier...I am really really happy for you! and glad it's a girl...Joy!MOM!
Why would I email you..I CALLED you and told you!
