Yes, it’s a little girl!! A little girl is headed our way! We went to our 20 week ultrasound appointment today, which is mostly for the purpose of making sure that the baby’s growth and development is progressing well and – if you want to know, and we did – if the little one is a boy or a girl. All this time, we had both long said that we would be totally happy with either a boy or a girl, and even now, I maintain that would have been the case.
Still, there had always been a teeny little part of me inside that hoped for a little daughter. So I can’t help being completely giddy and ecstatic over finding out that our baby will indeed be “daddy’s little girl”! I couldn’t be happier!
So now, we move yet another step away from the abstract and towards reality, and it feels incredible. Our little daughter is halfway here, and dad (and of course mom) just can’t wait to welcome her into the world!!
Your dad loves you, kiddo!
ok, seriously, no one has commented?
it’s wonderful news….i’m excited to have found your web presence and especially excited to find it when you’ve got such incredible news! you will both make such great parents.
congratulations and blessings and happy father’s day!
YAY! Congratulations. Now you can get to work on the nursery…haha…and the rest of us can get to work on girly crafty stuff for the new baby kim!
Wow Wow & Wahooooo! I’m sorry I’m late catching up with the big news, I saw your FB post about poolside drinks & someone mentioned your GIRL!!! So I jumped on your blog & almost cried at your telling. Simply thrilled for you guys! Is her name really going to be Ruby? That would be *beautiful*! Girls are tons of fun!! My first jobs were coincidentally all girls. Everything came so naturally, the braids, the songs, the stories, the art projects & everything or nothing princess related. I cannot even tell you what a joy it was, the joy IT STILL IS, to experience the world, in all it’s beauty & wonder through a new child’s eyes. You are in for a wonderful, ((painful)) & magical ride. You are going to love her & being her amazing MOM!!!
