We are so thrilled to welcome another GIRL!!!
I have to say that I was totally shocked by this. Jordan wasn't so much.
I know each pregnancy is different, but things have literally been opposite of my pregnancy with Evelyn. And I would have put money on the fact we were going to have a boy.
Buuuuuut I was so, so wrong!
I am seriously so excited to have another daughter. I can't wait to meet her and kiss her sweet cheeks!
Jordan knows he's in trouble with another girl coming his way. But he is so gentle and sweet with Evelyn and I can't wait to see him with this sweet girl!
We didn't find out if we were expecting a boy or girl when we were pregnant with Evelyn and we absolutely loved being surprised! This time around, with being in a new state, new hospitals & doctors, family being halfway across the country, and the fact that we were surprised by this sweet girl in the first place, we decided we wanted to find out this time around. I was curious to know if I felt different and bonded differently while pregnant knowing versus not knowing. So we went for it, and I'm so excited to have a different perspective this time around!
We officially found out we were having a little girl on New Years Eve, but we were truthfully a bit sneaky about finding out. A couple weeks before we headed home for Christmas, on 12.13.14, we went to a local company who specializes in prenatal ultrasounds. Sneaky, and so out of character, but we went for it. My sensibility kicked in. We had literally at least six bins of girl clothes & gear back in our storage unit in Michigan. It would have killed me to find out we were having a little girl with all that stuff back home, and no easy way to get it to Oklahoma. I thought it was a waste of time that we were finding out because I was so sure it was a boy, but man am I glad that we went for it and found out about our little girl! So now that we know we are having a little girl, its time to go through bins of clothes, figure out what we need for a newborn again and prepare ourselves for two girls under two! Yikes!
In the mean time, we will be getting Evelyn into a toddler bed so we have a crib for baby girl. We won't be able to keep her in our room very long due to Jordan's busy work schedule and his need for sleep. We moved Evelyn into her crib around 6 weeks, so I figure we'll do about this same this time around depending on her sleep habits. Evelyn is starting to act interested in potty training too, so we may take that on before baby girl comes along.
We are going to be busy, busy in the next few months leading up to her birth and then even more so once she's here. I'm excited to experience a different approach to pregnancy knowing that we have a girl and not left to wonder the whole time (which was still super fun!). I pray that everything continues to go smoothly with this sweet girl and that I continue to love being pregnant the second time around!
Oh, and lets work on not being frank breech little girl, alright?! Its not as fun as it may seem right now, just wait until you're bigger, you won't appreciate the cramped space hanging out like that!
