My First Blog

Ok. Bear with me as I start this. I set this up at least 2 years ago to reserve the address for the eventual time I might want to blog about my family. I will certainly not be one of those 'great' bloggers so don't expect too much. Well, we are here. I am now 22 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Yesterday was our 4th ultrasound of the pregnancy (it's been fun seeing baby so much) and finally the time to see if it is a boy or girl. Drum roll please! It's a GIRL!!! WOW!!!! I was completely SHOCKED! I wasn't hoping it was one or the other, but when I have imagined myself as a mother it has always been of boys. Boys I feel comfortable with. Raising a girl SCARES me. There I said it. I'm terrified and yet excited to know the little human being inside me right now is a girl. Last night I was at a girls Bible study for our youth group at church. The adults prayed after the girls left and one of the lady's prayed for Keith and I as we prepare to raise our daughter. That was when it hit me that we are going to be parents. We are going to have a daughter. OH MY!! Now it's time to start decorating the baby's room. I even went to a quilting store today to start getting ideas. Oh and it's time to start buying cute little dresses :) I can just hear my sister now - 'Show restraint Angela'. Ok I will - that's partly what consignment sales are for.
