Gender Reveal: Baby Number 3

Unquestionably, today I felt more anxious and excited than I have in a long time.  I texted my sister earlier and likened it to Christmas morning as a child.

This morning, after dropping Dylan off at preschool, the three of us headed over to Firstview Ultrasound in Greenwood Village, where my mom met us, to find out the gender of our baby at 15 weeks on the dot.  Only, we had no intention of actually finding out until later in the day.

Let me tell you, knowing the gender of our baby was on the screen and not looking was very hard!

The technician had us close our eyes and found the gender first.  Then we got to see the other tiny parts of our precious little one.

Honestly, I’ve spent the past few months convincing myself that my intuition was wrong.  I kept calling the baby she, but was convinced I’m a boy mom.  So without further adieu, let me share the news!!

GIRL!!!!!

Can you tell I was a little shocked??  Dylan was celebrating that he guessed correctly.  He screamed, “I WAS RIGHT!!!”.

Today was a very fun day and I owe my mommy a HUGE thank you for baking this awesome cake.  It was certainly not a calm day for her.

I am also so thankful for my amazing friend/sister Ashley from Ashley Henry Photography for taking these beautiful shots!  She did me the huge favor of shooting with my camera so I could edit and post them ASAP.

Thank you for sharing this very exciting day with us!!!

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
