21 weeks and a delightful SURPRISE


21 weeks

Abby wanted her picture taken too!

21 weeks and we're excited to announce....

It's a GIRL! 






Everything about having another little girl thrills us. I've been dreaming all day about how much fun it will be for Abby and her sister to grow up together! My heart is so full thinking about it.

Abby came with Joe and I today for the ultrasound.

Quote of the day: On the way to my doctor's office, we passed the hospital and it's new building addition. All of a sudden, Abby started shouting from the back seat, "Mommy! Look Mommy! Noah's Ark!" She is pretty fascinated these days with the "big ark God told Noah to build for all the animals".

Abby was fascinated when she saw the baby on the screen (until she was ready to go back to reading her High Five magazine with Daddy).  Abby has not stopped talking about her baby "sidder" all day.

After our appointment, Daddy went back to work. Abby and I went to the store (as planned) to pick out a little something for her baby sister. As we walked to the baby section, I spent time letting it all soak in. In the last 20 weeks I've completely connected with the fact that I'm carrying a baby inside of me. But, today when I learned I was carrying another baby girl I connected to her in a new way. My daughter. And if you think sundresses are cute...just imagine little summery sundresses in newborn size. Precious! Abby saw a little plush baby doll for an infant and said, "Mommy. Dollie. My baby sidder."  Abby picked out her little sister's first baby doll. She's got your back, little one.


We all love you so much already!

our baby's gift

13 For you created my inmost being;
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful,
   I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
   when I was made in the secret place,
   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
   all the days ordained for me were written in your book
   before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139: 13-16

As I sit here tonight, I'm in awe of our Creator, who is carefully creating another one of His masterpieces within me. I'm thankful and humbled by all that He has entrusted to me. I'm excited to meet my daughter face to face. I'm excited to see my sweet Abby's face when she meets her lifelong best friend. Thank you, Jesus!
