Gender Reveal

Monday, February 25, 2013

I know I teased everyone on Friday by saying that we found out the gender of our baby, so I am ready to spill the beans…Tolar and I are having a GIRL!!!! The name of my blog seems even more appropriate than ever now.

You can't see much, at least I can't and I suppose that's the point. :)
We are absolutely thrilled and it was so incredibly sweet to see Tolar cry some proud papa tears when he heard the news. I of course shouted out a huge yay and squeezed Tolar’s hand. This is perfect for me because I really only know girls, boys are such foreign beings to me. My nephew is certainly training me on the ways of boys, but I’ve still got A LOT to learn.

My mother-in-law was here to visit us over the weekend and we took advantage of having her in town during the excitement of our baby girl news. We hit the baby stores and outlet malls and got some pretty decent loot for our little girl.  We also registered for baby girl and that process was quite overwhelming, yet fun, but COMPLETELY exhausting. This pregnant lady can’t shop as long as she used to! We had barely known that we were having a girl for 24 hours and already picked up everything you see below!


Nope, this baby girl won’t be spoiled at all. :)

With each new milestone, everything just gets more and more exciting. While we were shopping I still couldn’t grasp that I was buying clothes for MY baby girl. Sometimes I don’t think that I am even old enough to be married, let alone be someone’s mother. The whole thing is completely surreal to me. But I’m so excited. I’ve wanted to be a mother my entire life; I felt it deep within my soul that God put me on this earth to be a mother and to love children unconditionally. And I plan to do just that. This baby girl has no clue what is waiting for her on the “outside,” but when she arrives she is going to be showered with so much love. She already has so many people praying for her and I can’t think of a way to love people any better than that.
