It's a GIRL!!!

We had the ultrasound and confirmed our fourth child is another girl.

While we have been receiving "condolences" of sorts, we are sincerely thrilled to be having another girl. Once upon a time, we wanted a boy, but that has long passed as we have spent a great deal of time reflecting on God's plan for our family and have greatly enjoyed the three girls we have. The decision to have a fourth child was not about "trying for a boy" as many put it, rather it was just a decision to grow our brood and simply have a fourth child. There is something about raising girls that agrees with us (God must think so too) and we accept the tremendous blessings they bring to our life. So much fun!!

I have to say, the technician got a good picture of the baby crossing her arms in an "x". The girls saw it and decided it was their super hero sign and she was sending them a very important message from the womb - GIRL POWER!! It has since become the mantra in the house.

Now, we have a lot of bedroom rearranging and redecorating to do! We're fortunate to have enough room in our house for four children, but we have a lot of reorganization to do before November.

The most difficult challenge ahead.....a name for this little sweet pea.
