Thinking Pink!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

I've now had 1 full day to let it sink in....yesterday I was pretty shocked since I went into the ultrasound confident that we were going to have another boy- a little brother for Dylan. Now don't get me wrong, I have always wanted a girl, but ever since having a boy, and being with so many little boys on my side of the family, I just really didn't picture it happening for me. I honestly would not have been disappointed if we would have found out #2 was a boy, but I do know that I'm extremely excited that I'm going to have a DAUGHTER! Dylan on the other hand had to warm up to the whole idea of a "little sister." In fact his first reaction after the technician told us the news was "That's stupid. I wanted a brother." After a little pep talk about how a little sister will LOVE her big brother, and how she'll want to play with different toys and not take his, etc, etc. he decided it was ok and was more than thrilled to make the announcement to his class during circle time today at school. Later last night he came up with the idea that he could be a Cougar Football player and she could be a cheerleader and cheer for him. Perfect.

So, now this little one is seeming like more of a person to me. I think we have her name picked out and agreed upon which is leaps and bounds ahead of where we were with Dylan (who wasn't named until the hospital). To celebrate today I of course went shopping....for bargains of course and could have gone crazy spending money if I let myself. I'm so excited for our wonderful new addition to make her arrival....now on to the preparations!!
