My Life Is About To Get A Little Sweeter

Most of you who read my blog already know that we found out Monday, November 23, that we are going to be having another little girl! We are SO excited!

I think that a lot of people figured (and even said) that we "wanted" a boy, but I honestly did not mind one bit if it was another girl. I would have been tickled to have a boy, but my girls are precious gifts and I would not trade them for the world!

I'm nervous about Addy and the new baby being so close in age (20 months), but knowing it's a girl is making it a little easier. We have tons of girl clothes and toys, we won't have to repaint a room, I have an excuse to get to buy more bows..hehe, and I know girls. I also know how special sisters are and the fact that my daughters are going to have 2 of them gives me so much joy. Oh yeah, and so far I won't have to worry about having a daughter-in-law someday. Did I really just say that? lol I just think that's a hard relationship for a lot of news wives. Thankfully, my M-I-L and I get along wonderfully. The first couple of years weren't perfect, but the Lord was gracious and taught me SO much during that time. I am so thankful to have such a God-fearing woman in my life. I could learn a lot from her! (And just to clear this up, I'm not trying to be negative about boys . I know that boys are wonderful. My nephews are very, very special to me. I could just ball my eyes out telling you how much I love them. I'm just trying to focus on the positive things about having a girl. So far, I'm kinda just pretending that I won't have 3 hormonal teenage daughters with boyfriends who want to dress like hoochie mama's and think their Momma doesn't know anything that would be of worth to them. Wow. Maybe Jesus will come back before then. :-])

I guess the last part of my paragraph showed some of the thoughts that are really going through my head, right? That was a little extreme, but there are a lot of things that I'm worried about. However, I was nervous about having Emmy and it was fine. I was nervous about transitioning from 1 to 2 children and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome when our little Addy arrived. I am now trusting and have faith that the Lord is going to see me through just like he has done in every other area of my life! I can't think of a better "problem" (for lack of a better word) to have!

I guess to sum things up, Tim and I couldn't be happier about having another child, another daughter. 3 little girls. My house, my life is about to get a little sweeter! Oh, and by the way, we are thinking of naming her Molly. "Emmy, Addy, and Molly". What do you think?
