Uh-Oh

Well, those of you that were convinced we were having a girl, you were.....right! Uh-oh...We had our 18 week ultrasound on Wednesday. It was very exciting, and we are just completely thrilled, although still digesting the news. I leaned over to Benji when it finally hit me what the ultrasound tech said, and asked "What am I going to do with a girl?" :-) I grew up with brothers and my first born is a boy. Uh-Oh...pink? frills? WHAT?
Her name is Larkin Elizabeth. Larkin is just a name we came up with that we both really like, and Elizabeth is for my Grandma Jameson. She was Barbara Elizabeth and died when I was 14. I also have the middle name Elizabeth, but Larkin is most definitely named after this amazing woman.
Larkin measured exactly as far along as I am estimated to be. She is healthy and moving around quite regularly. I feel her all the time. You can't feel her on the outside, but she makes herself known to me whenever I get still. It is simply miraculous.
We had dinner with some friends, Travis and Kate, Saturday evening, and they passed down some of their 2 1/2 year old daughter's baby clothes. As I was going through the boxes of clothing, I think it really hit me. This one is going to wear dresses and tights, not overalls and ball caps. Uh-Oh. The clothes were so cute, and we are just so grateful for our friends generosity. I came home and went through Grayson's clothes so that I can pass those on to Kate, who is pregnant with a boy.
It is such a joyous time for us, and we just have such amazing friends and family surrounding us. We could not ask for more, and just praise our Lord for all He has blessed us with. One child was wonderful, but we have been lucky to be blessed with two. We are so happy. Thank you everyone for your well wishes!
