I will admit, though, I think in the back of our minds, both Kurt and I were kind of hoping for a boy. Kurt comes from a family of three boys and it was only my brother and I in our family. Boys just seem a little more familiar to us! Having two girls is such a foreign idea to me. And I can't help but think of the drama that will certainly ensue in our household, the competition between sisters, the cost of two weddings, and the list goes on a bit longer....oh my. BUUUTTT, I also know that God has a way of giving us things that challenge us and shape us into the people he desires us to become, and well, that is exciting. And seeing how Madelyn lights up when she talks about her "baby sister" and the way she talks to my tummy already, and is so eager to share her room, and to pick out clothes for her, I can't help but get choked up about the relationship that is already brewing. A relationship that is so unfamiliar to me, but one that seems so absolutely precious...sisters! And not to mention that holding a sweet and delicate little girl was so fun with Madelyn and I really can't wait to hold another....now I'm just going crazy in my mind wondering what she will look like and what she will be like! I will tell you....I do feel this little girl kicking a BIT more than I did Madelyn...uh oh.
We don't have a name picked out for this little one yet, for those of you curious ears! It's hard having another girl when we feel like we already used our favorite girl name....we have a list though and I'm sure we'll figure out a name that will be perfect :) We'll keep you posted....
