We are Having a BABY!!!

Okay, yes we already know it's a girl because I am 21 weeks along!! Jason and I thought it would be a fun surprise to tell our parents we are pregnant and the sex for Christmas, however that didn't happen to work out. I had an ultra sound in Chicago at 18 weeks and the baby was not cooperating so we had to give our parents the news that we are pregnant and NOT tell the sex. First thing I did was call my wonderful OB here in Utah (who I used to work for) and they told me to come on in, and that is how we were able to find out IT'S A GIRL!!! We are so excited, we can hardly stand it, it feels so good to know that we now have one of each. Jason says the pressure is off, he knew i would not settle until we had a little girl. Don't get me wrong I love having our little boy he is the best little man ever. But there is something about getting a little girl all dolled up with all the fun accessories BOWS and more BOWS there is no such thing as too big!

Now let's get to the crazy part. If I am 21 weeks and Porter just turned a year, and you do the math.....Yes, our children will be 17 months apart. We are going to have our hands full!! But I say BRING IT ON. I am so very excited to have my little babies!

Congrats! You'll love having a girl, I have nothing to compare it to... but I love my girl and it is SO fun to dress her up. I agree, no bow is too big! Dan doesn't agree with me about that but I know they are cute. :) Anyway, good luck!
