Outnumbered

Wish them luck!
Come October, they'll be receiving an extra dose of all things girl!!

The first photo of Mom with with her girls!!

The best news of the day is that she looks healthy and well! We are super thrilled!

The tears of gratitude came as I drove away from the doctor's office. I was overcome as I tasted of the love Heavenly Father has for the child that's preparing to meet our family. I apologize for the constant display of sentimentality but as I said to my Mom on the phone, who can blame me for the high emotion when I have an extra batch of girl-ness roaring through me?

Eliza's reaction to the news: "I'm so excited! I've never had a sister before!"

Henry's thoughts, although they weren't verbalized, "I told you so."

Andrew, as we sat in the waiting room asked, "What reaction are you looking for exactly?"

"Happiness!" was my response. In all seriousness, he is happy.

"If it is a boy," I cautioned, "please do not use the f-word while we're in there. It might spoil the moment just a little." Looking a little shocked as I watched him assume the wrong definition, I followed up with,

"Forrest. Just wait a day before mentioning the name Forrest."

Yeah! We're so excited for another girl cousin! Sara will be especially happy about this news in about 4 years, when she has a female cousin- close in age- to play with. Congrats on all of the good news!

Congratulations, that is so great! We sure love little girls around here. It's fun for them to have a play mate to do all things girly.
