Before I get started here, I just want to mention that a friend of mine found out that she had a miscarriage this weekend. I've been really heartbroken for her and torn about how to proceed with my own happy news. I know she's the gracious type of person who would tell me to continue to celebrate my own healthy pregnancy, especially after all of the ovulation tests, charting, negative pregnancy tests…etc. But I can't in good consciousness pretend like this didn't happen. So before you proceed with reading this, please say a prayer for my friends healing.
And now….here is some GOOD news:
We are having a baby GIRL!! Of course we would have been happy either way, but we both had a pretty strong feeling that it was a girl. Well, I guess Mark had a strong feeling. I did have that feeling for all of the first trimester and up until a few weeks ago, but then I totally changed my mind, so I was thinking boy going into the ultrasound.
We told Mark's parents the news via Skype, and they were really happy since his family has pretty much all boys. We told my parents at my dad's birthday dinner- I baked cupcakes with PINK filling.
Bring on the tutus and headbands!! And give me ALL OF THE PINK!
YAAAYY!! I KNEW IT! You are going to LOVE all things girl!! They are so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your friend, that is just heartbreaking. I'll definelty keep them in my prayers.

Hi Katie, I'm not sure if you remember me - we went to Luther together! I found your blog from my friend Melissa (I Carry Your Heart). I'm just getting started with blogging, and she encouraged me to join up with the MN Bloggers. Anyways, congratulations! That's so exciting. Glad to see you are doing well.
