Grateful for Girls
We found out yesterday at our ultrasound that we are expecting another baby girl in August 2010. There was a part of me that was hoping for a boy for Matt & for my family who is full of girls, but when I saw the beauty of God's creation on that screen, I knew that I will love this precious baby girl.
Children are a blessing from the Lord! Psalm 157:3-5
Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations— that's what I had in mind for you. Jeremiah 1:5 (The Message)
Matt is a little apprehensive about having a house full of girls & making sure they feel beautiful, as he knows from experience, that is a challenge with me! He is already looking ahead at the dating years, more money for prom dresses, paying for two weddings. It's funny how he's looking so far ahead. But I think he will realize what a great dad he is & will be to two girls, once our baby girl is here! He is already wonderful with Ellie, who is 19 months now!
I have always believed sisters are a beautiful experience. I have a younger sister & love her more everyday. We are six years apart, so through the years it has been difficult to connect on the same level, but now that we're in our 20's (we won't think about this year being my last year of my 20's) we are so close & I could not be more grateful for my little sis.
My mom mentioned as an Army wife, who from time to time is a temporary single mom when Matt is deployed overseas or on TDY, it would be nice to raise girls & not have to worry about all the things that come with raising boys. I have no clue about boys! I think this is going to be a good thing. I'm all for Matt teaching our girls manly things like fixing cars, changing tires, camping, jeepin', etc. We can be tough women!
I know God has a plan & a purpose for everything. We are looking forward to meeting our second daughter in late July or early August. Ellie is going to have so much fun with a sister! If anyone has suggestions on raising multiple girls, feel free to share them!
Happy Spring!
