WE CAVED!!!!
Well, it's official...
After months of speculation (and lots of boy predictions) we are happy to tell you that we are having a little girl...
This news comes to you thanks to Chris, really. When we went in to the sonogram we were so ready to be strong and not find out. Baby is on the screen, emotions are flying, I'm crying, and just so happy to see this thing wigglin' around again and much bigger. The tech said those words that make you melt, "Do you want to know what it is?" and before I knew it, Chris was lunging towards the screen blurting an uncontrollable "YES!".
Before I knew it, I knew, and for some reason I (who really didn't want to know) was so glad I knew. Don't think too hard...it's just the pregnancy hormones attacking my double hormone filled mind these days. Anyways, we knew, and didn't tell anyone for over a MONTH...we just needed some time. Whew, what a relief it is now! Talk about hard...
But the best part - we had our month to be surprised, bond with eachother, give her a name, form our own opinions about having a GIRL (oh my gosh!) and get really excited - together.
So thank you Chris...for caving so hard! Really, I'm so glad I know - It is so special, I can't even tell you. We have so much to look forward to :) What a cool husband!

ahh yes...i am the winner!

When you and Chris told the story of the young girls wanting Chris and his friends to buy them some beer, I remember you and Chris shaking your heads and saying I don't think I want girls. I knew then that your first baby was going to be a girl! Girls rule!! And Hey, I thought you were naming her Wanyika LuLu Holloway!
i'm on my way right now to buy all the pink lacy stuff i can find!!
oh and don't bother buying curtains...i've got you covered!!!!!
Isn't it the coolest feeling in the world for the two of you to find out the sex of the baby together at her sonogram? That was one of my favorite parts of my pregnancy ever! It's just such an amazing feeling. So glad you guys didn't wait! GO CHRIS!
You will also find that when she is finally here, your not-so-love-for-lots-of-pink will turn around! I was the same way, but now Aaron & I find ourselves wanting to put our little girl in pink more than anything! Weird!
Can't wait to meet her! She's going to be one of the most gorgeous girls in the world!!! Love you guys!!! :o)
