Since you've said before that you wanted to cap the baby-having at two children, I SO hoped you would have a girl.
I can't even begin to tell you what a joy my girl is to me. You will love her with all the energy of Jackson but with totally different methods. If that makes any sense at all....
AAAHHH! Congrats! Welcome to my world. It's so fun to have girls - actually, it's all I know, since I have 3 of them. I'm so excited for you, Curtis, & Jackson! He will be an awesome big brother. Names? Got anything picked out?
YEAH!! Congratulations! You are going to love having a sweet little princess in your house! Jackson is going to be the BEST big brother to a sweet little girl! We are so happy for you guys!
Where in Houston did you find that sweet little outfit on the right?!?!? I have been having a hard time finding sweet long sleeve clothes like that!
Oh my word, Amy's comb comment distracted me from what I was going to type. Which pretty much was just, "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!". SUCH exciting news. Jackson is going to be such a wonderful big brother, Curtis a tender, loving daddy, you a wonderful momma...and if your mother and sister have anything to do with it this will be one SPOILED and stylin' chickie! Many prayers to you tonight for a safe delivery of Baby GIRL Jones into this world!
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!! I was soooooooo hoping you'd have a girl! Did you nearly fall off the table when they told you? I *think* you were fairly certain it was a boy, right? I was the same way!! But once I got the "yes ma'am" about the girl I literally bought anything that was pink. My dd's little closet full of clothes was monochromatic to say the least.
I am so unbelievably happy for you, Amanda. To get to experience and boy AND a girl is a true blessing from God. You are going to be blown away . . . . .
YEAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just KNEW It was going to be a girl!!!!! So excited you get to have some pink in your life too! I have been waiting all day to find out and I'm THRILLED!!!!!! :-)
I am sooooooo excited for you Amanda!!!! I recently became a new auntie to a little girl named Kensley on September 4th...she is the only girl in our family so far. My nephews Cole and Evan are 2 1/2 years old and my newest nephew Isaac is almost 1 week old (born Friday the 12th). So far little girls are so much fun. I do have to say a little too much pink though! Kensley's room is all done up in pink and brown John Deere theme....I've got pictures on my blog if you are interested! Yeah....I am so glad it is a girl for you!!!!
Yea!!! I am so happy for you and your fam! You thought shopping for a boy was fun...just wait!! Goodness, girls clothes are just too much! Mister Jackson is going to be a great big brother to his little sis! NOW we have to wait to see HER! I pray that she would be full of grace, purity and absolute joy. That she would be a woman of compassion and that she would be filled with a great and deep passion for her Savior. Blesings to you and this sweet little girl!
Yay! I only know you through this blog, but I just knew you were going to have a girl! When you posted the pic of the cute little baby boy jacket from baby Gap, I thought something along the lines of, "She won't need that for a girl." :)
I'm so excited for all of you! You will love being a "girl mom!" - just like you love being a "boy mom"! It's so much fun to open the baby's closet and see a sea of pink and white and cuteness. Congratulations and the Lord's blessings to you!
Congratulations Amanda!!! What a blessing to have a boy AND a girl to love! I feel I've been blessed to get to have both, I pray the same blessings on you!
Having a little boy and then a little baby girl is just the sweetest thing ever! You will just die from the joy you see when your little Mister is so excited to see your sweet girl. Oh, I am just so excited for you. Plus, she will have to be one tough cookie to put up with the "wrestling" that a two year old brother can put her through!
I've been checking all day! My prediction was right! That is so neat....a little boy and now a little girl! I've been blessed to have one of each too and in the same order. Congratulations!!!!!! (adorable outfits!)
Praise the Lord!!! I have been checking back often today in hopes that you would post- A little girl! I am so excited for you!!!!
I am a mom of twins (a boy and a girl)- Though I love my little boy like crazy, there is a special bond between a mother and her daughter!!! You are going to have so much fun shopping, doing nails, and doing hair! And I bet your Mom and sister are just beside themselves.
Yeah!! I was hoping for a girl for you! Enjoy the break from blue and start embracing all that pink!! Glad to hear that!! Praying for your and that little girl you're carrying!!
YAY GIRL!!!!! I am so happy for you!! That is so awesome!! If you still want to put that mural of me, you and Fran in her room we are ok with it. LOL!!
Amanda...I'm so excited for you, Curt and Jackson to have a little girl in your life! She will be the perfect addition to the Jones family...and I'll tell you, I would not have had any older sibling but MY big brother, so she will be blessed with Jackson, for sure! I love you guys so much!
Okay, this is weird.....I called it earlier today (with my friend Valerie) and girl it is. That's three for three for me. Weird.....or maybe just a fluke. :)
My daughter in law is due Jan. 3rd with a boy. My daughter is due Feb. 18th with a girl.
Congrats Amanda!! I'm finding that the whole girl thing is a big switch, especially after a rough and tumble boy, but it's more fun to dress her than it was Jak :) I'm excited for you!
So happy for you!! I have two boys and a girl and they are all joys, but in different ways. So glad you'll be able to experience both! (The only con: it's much more expensive to have a girl...the clothes are hard to resist!)
I am delurking to say- paint the world pink!!! Congratulations! I am the mother of three: a boy and two girls.
When we found out our youngest was a girl I looked at my husband and said, "What are we going to do with 2 girls?" My husband (who has 2 brothers) responded by saying, "I didn't know what to do with one let alone two girls." Our oldest (our boy) piped up from the back seat and said, "We will feed her, bathe her, love her and pray for her." Out of the mouth of babes!
All that to say...CONGRATULATIONS! I am very happy for your growing family! Praise the Lord...every good and perfect gift is from Him!
Congratulations on your baby girl! Kept checking and wondering and oh my! A girl! Wait til you hold her like a girl. It's so His plan to wrap His glory in a girl for you. Just read a little bit ago Ezra 7:27,28 God has put into your heart to bring honor to Him---and you both so do!---HE has extended his good Favor to you both---yes HE has---and the good Hand of your beautiful God is on you both, take courage. We all believe with you that He chose you out of all the mothers in the whole world for this baby girl.
Congratulations!! I am blessed to have two healthy kids.(6yo son and 4 yo daughter). They are both blessings to me. But my daughter is such a special blessing to me because I "get" her. I so enjoy all the girly things we do together because SHE enjoys them so much. And let me just warn you...the shopping... it just goes on and on and on. I bet your mom is beside herself with joy.
Praise the Lord. You Moore's are going to have so much fun!!!!! My first is a girl and it is an amazing bond between Mother and Daughter. totally different then Mother and Son. My boys are precious don't get me wrong -you will know as soon as she is here. This is just sooo soo exciting. YAY!!! Curtis your heart will melt. OHHH wow just so thrilled. Wish i could here your sister and your mom's response. Your dad will sure to have all the support and encouragement Curtis will need in the years to come.
Oh man! I'm picturing right now your daddy with this precious baby GIRL in his arms and it is a sweet picture! THIS is going to be so much fun for all of you. Amanda, you are the best mommy. Is she a peach yet? I know she was an avocado...
Fantastic! We have an older boy and a little girl and it is precious! Just like Charlie and Lola (cartoon on Disney)! There is just something so sweet about little girls. Congratulations!
I was SURE I was having another boy too!...and shocked when I found out I wasn't! Lisa is right, you will love her just as much as you love Jackson...but with different methods. And my favorite thing is watching the big brother(2) with his new baby sister (5 months). It's the sweetest thing in the world!!
p.s...I just bought the outfit on the right for my baby girl! so cute!
YAY!! Oh the joy you will have watching Jackson be that strong big brother to his little sister. For me watching my Ethan protect Elissa has been phenomenal
One of each is precious. My son was first, my daughter second. It is so nice to have each. You just wait, you thought shopping for Jackson was fun... Girl's clothes are by far more plentiful and too cute! Enjoy! PTL!
Amanda, Awwwww! I love the outfits that you have picked our for your precious little girl. Congratulations! I am so happy for you! Do you have any names picked out yet for that little sweetie pie?
Congratulations Amanda, Curt, & Jackson!! I am in love with those adorable outfits! You are giving me baby fever Amanda and I don't need to catch it right now!! :) *Wink wink*
I must have checked your blog 10 times yesterday!! What a wonderful surprise this morning!! Have a great day and best throughout the week!!
This is fantastic Little Momma!!!!! The Lord is Good to you! He is giving you one of each kind! (boy and girl!) I know a girl at my church that had invitro this year, and she is having a boy and a girl at the same time-twins!:) I am soo very excited for you! Those outfits are darlin':)
Well Praise the Lord!!! As the mother of 2 boys (and I love love love my boys) I always get excited when I find out someone is having a girl. We definitely have a "pink deficiency" at my house. Let's face it, boys are so much fun, but their clothes and hair are not. Congratulations! Be sure and post pictures of other cute pink clothes you buy for us 'boy moms'. ;-)
Ava is SO happy to have TWO little girls to boss around come 2009!
Clara (or whatever we finally decide to call her...still deciding) wants your baby girl to know that she is looking for some cute matching outfits! Matching bikinis for next summer?
Congratulations, my friend! Can't wait to meet her! Love you!
AHHH!!! Congratulations! Girls are fabulous! She will be the most stylish little thing. Praise God for knitting her together. He always knows what He's doing. I wish you all the best!
Congratulations Amanda! What a special blessing. Oh how much fun you will have. It's so wonderful to watch the differences between a son and daughter. And, I love to watch my son take care of his little sister in the cutest of ways. Oh, this is just so great for you! Congratulations again.
I am de-lurking today (I've been reading your blog for well over a year now) to say congrats!! I just knew you were going to have a girl!!!! What a blessing to have one of each, though I know you would have been happy either way. God bless you and I am glad to hear your house was safe after Ike.
I have already told you had completely stinkin' excited I am for you. I have tried many times to put into words how different it is to love a boy and a girl. It seems like you would love all your children the same, but you don't. You love them in equal amounts but it's a different feeling for each. I seriously can't wait for you to experience both.
Oh, and praying that this sweet one will be your "easy" one. M is sure not mine, but surely we each get one easy one. Or one that's not a quite an entire handful...maybe just 4 fingers. Maybe? I don't know...but it will be so much fun finding out.
Shall I dedicate a section of M's closet to clothes being saved for Baby Girl Jones? You know I will...I'll throw a few boys on top just in case. She's a Moore baby so we know she'll have some hair!
Jenn was over when your Mama sent out the word to the "village". Was SO excited!!
Erin said last night at dinner to the Hamms that he's gonna have to give Curtis some tips on the girl thang! He said, "you just wait bubba...you just wait!" Was hilarious.
And that she'll have a big brother to look out for her and protect her her whole life -- what a sweet blessing.
My little girl has a big brother too and I just love seeing her go to him and ask him about things (he makes up half his answers. You know - he's teaching her about life. :) And it makes me so proud when I see that 5th grader looking out for his 2nd grade sister at school.
Yours will be the best of friends too. Pray over their relationship starting now. (I did that from the day I found out I was pregnant with my second).
(and better pray over your checkbook too while you're at it -- oh my. Precious little girl clothes are waaaaay to easy to shop for!)
(My sister was hoping he'd be wrong, because she's currently pregnant with her second, and she was hoping for a girl. But according to my freaking husband, she's having a boy. Eleven out of 11.)
CONGRATULATIONS! I will resist buying cute baby girl clothes for you and sending them to LPM.
Oh. You are going to have such a blast shopping for a little girl! I wish I would have had more spending money when my girls were babies but it still was fun - even on a budget.
Amanda, I only know you thru this blog (and your Mom's), but I can't tell you how excited I am for you & Curt and Jackson! I was praying for you one day shortly after finding out you were expecting, and I had a mental picture of Jackson being a protective big brother to an adorable little princess! I only wish you could have recorded everyone's response to the news - it must have been priceless.
Congratultions, and much love to all of the Jones family! Linda
Can I just say I checked back here like 30 times yesterday to see if you have posted yet! Jackson is going to be a GREAT BIG BROTHER to the princess. Little girl stuff is SO MUCH FUN.
Congratulations! A little girl, how wonderful! I only have one boy, and I spent plenty of money on his clothes. If it had been a girl...I'd still be paying it off! They just seem to have cuter clothes for girls. I can't wait to hear about all the differences between boys and girls.
Congratulations Amanda! I love my boy too, but there's just somethin' about having both that makes life all the sweeter and richer! Enjoy picking out those adorable girl outfits-you will not believe all that's out there for girls! Love, Amy in OK
Congratulations on your news. I have 3 boys, ages 12, 10 and 8 and a little girl who just turned 5. Girls are so, so, so different from boys, but they are all definitely gifts from God.
Yeah!!! Congratulations! You have SOOO much to look forward to... baby dolls and strollers, pink tutus, sparkly shoes, tiny purses, nailpolish, matching aprons, mommy-daughter shopping dates, crayon pictures of rainbows and flowers with "I love you Mommy" written on them.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Can't wait to "meet" her! :)
I'm also expecting a girl and let's be honest - it's very hard not to buy every available and truly adorable pink thing. I'm trying to resist the urge to buy a dollhouse and tea set and one of those darling little baby buggies and an American Girl doll.
I don't remember having a spending problem at all with my son.
I'm so happy for you and am excited to see how we boy mamas adjust to raising daughters. Just thinking about the word "daughter" fills me with such a tremendous sense of responsibility.
I am so excited for you I can't even begin to tell you how excited. I think it's such a blessing to be able to experince having a daughter and a son. They are so remarkably different and exciting. Oh my gosh.
YAY! I was secretly hoping it would be a girl! How perfect...one of each! Can't wait to see and hear all about your new adventures with your little girl! Congrats!
Oh WOW! What exciting news! I totally had the days mixed up and thought what you learned of yesterday was actually happening today! So...as your first thoughts this morning were "it's a girl!" I was praying for a great utlra sound and a coopertive baby. I was so excited to log on this morning and see the news! I was totally conviced it was a boy because you seemed so sure. And the whole comment from the nurse about thinking you were having another boy only convinced me more. What a fun surprise! Girls are so much fun! And big brothers are so great for little sisters! I'm so happy for you all! ~ Kristin
I love that you are having a girl! I am partial to them...you picked some adorable things for sure. And you were right on the LPM blog...the spending and shopping has only just begun!
OH YAY!!! I'm a little belated checking in since we were w/out power from Ike BUT what FUN and glorious news!!! What a joy to experience one of each; girl's are such a delight and she'll warm your heart in such different ways than Jackson does. SO over-joyed for all of you!
just wanted to say congrats :) I"m so happy for you guys! soo exciting!!! Jackson is gonna be such a great big bro :) and i bet your family is just beside themselves! love the outfits ya got :) take care of you! blessings
Congratulations!! How exciting!!(well, it would have been exciting either way!) But it's so fun to dream about your baby girl and the special relationship you will share. I'm really happy for you guys.
Since you've said before that you wanted to cap the baby-having at two children, I SO hoped you would have a girl.
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to tell you what a joy my girl is to me. You will love her with all the energy of Jackson but with totally different methods. If that makes any sense at all....
Congratulations!! I KNOW how excited you are!:)
YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!!!!

ReplyDeleteYippee!!! There is some serious shopping to be done for this precious baby girl...love the outfits you picked out!
ReplyDeleteOh my stinkin' goodness...congrats!
ReplyDeleteWOW Amanda. So happy for you. Thank goodness for healthy babies! I know Baby Gap has some ADORABLE girl clothes too.

ReplyDeleteCongradulations on a girl. I bet grandparents are beside themselves. Praying for a smooth pregnancy and delivery.
God is so good!

ReplyDeleteOh - I wish I could see Bibbi's FACE!
ReplyDeleteAs the mother of a new grandson after raising boys, it will be like having you all over again...
I am so excited for y'all,
Georgia Jan
Well Praise the Lord!!! As the mother of 2 boys (and I love love love my boys) I always get excited when I find out someone is having a girl. We definitely have a "pink deficiency" at my house. Let's face it, boys are so much fun, but their clothes and hair are not.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Be sure and post pictures of other cute pink clothes you buy for us 'boy moms'. ;-)
please, please, please tell me how blessed you feel this morning. 100 comments from people who are elated at what God is doing in your family's life.
ReplyDeleteamanda, this is so wonderful. big brother, little sister. it's awesome!
congratulations! God bless!
I just shot off a comment on your Haiti entry and completely forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm so excited about your GIRL news! :)
ReplyDeleteBig GRIN on my face! Congratulations! Please puh-leazzee can we have bows!!? :)
ReplyDeleteAww... congrats!
ReplyDeleteA girl!!! Welcome to girl world!
ReplyDeleteAva is SO happy to have TWO little girls to boss around come 2009!
ReplyDeleteClara (or whatever we finally decide to call her...still deciding) wants your baby girl to know that she is looking for some cute matching outfits! Matching bikinis for next summer?
Congratulations, my friend! Can't wait to meet her! Love you!
AHHH!!! Congratulations! Girls are fabulous! She will be the most stylish little thing. Praise God for knitting her together. He always knows what He's doing. I wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Amanda! What a special blessing. Oh how much fun you will have. It's so wonderful to watch the differences between a son and daughter. And, I love to watch my son take care of his little sister in the cutest of ways. Oh, this is just so great for you! Congratulations again.
ReplyDeleteOh Amanda! I am so very happy for you - what a precious and blessed little girl she is.
ReplyDeleteI am praying that you continue to have a healthy and safe pregnancy and delivery.
love and blessings,
Sister Lynn
B-E-S-I-D-E M-Y-S-E-L-F.
ReplyDeleteHappy Bibby
I am soooooo happy for you! You are going to go crazy with all the cute girly things on the market. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI am de-lurking today (I've been reading your blog for well over a year now) to say congrats!! I just knew you were going to have a girl!!!! What a blessing to have one of each, though I know you would have been happy either way. God bless you and I am glad to hear your house was safe after Ike.
Kara
I have already told you had completely stinkin' excited I am for you. I have tried many times to put into words how different it is to love a boy and a girl. It seems like you would love all your children the same, but you don't. You love them in equal amounts but it's a different feeling for each. I seriously can't wait for you to experience both.
ReplyDeleteOh, and praying that this sweet one will be your "easy" one. M is sure not mine, but surely we each get one easy one. Or one that's not a quite an entire handful...maybe just 4 fingers. Maybe? I don't know...but it will be so much fun finding out.
Shall I dedicate a section of M's closet to clothes being saved for Baby Girl Jones? You know I will...I'll throw a few boys on top just in case. She's a Moore baby so we know she'll have some hair!
Yeah for a baby girl! We are enjoying our girl and the boys are absolutely precious with her! The shopping is soooo much more expensive though :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun thinking pink! :)
Oooohh I NEEDED some GOOD NEWS today! :) How wonderful for the sweet Jones family!
ReplyDeleteJackson will be the sweetest big brother.
Congratulations to you and Curt!
Jenn was over when your Mama sent out the word to the "village". Was SO excited!!
ReplyDeleteErin said last night at dinner to the Hamms that he's gonna have to give Curtis some tips on the girl thang! He said, "you just wait bubba...you just wait!" Was hilarious.
Love you and so excited for a baby girl ♥
I'm so Happy for you all!
ReplyDeleteAnd that she'll have a big brother to look out for her and protect her her whole life -- what a sweet blessing.
My little girl has a big brother too and I just love seeing her go to him and ask him about things (he makes up half his answers. You know - he's teaching her about life. :) And it makes me so proud when I see that 5th grader looking out for his 2nd grade sister at school.
Yours will be the best of friends too. Pray over their relationship starting now. (I did that from the day I found out I was pregnant with my second).
(and better pray over your checkbook too while you're at it -- oh my.
Precious little girl clothes are waaaaay to easy to shop for!)
SOOOOO excited for you!!!
ReplyDeleteDang.
ReplyDeleteHe was right.
(My sister was hoping he'd be wrong, because she's currently pregnant with her second, and she was hoping for a girl. But according to my freaking husband, she's having a boy. Eleven out of 11.)
CONGRATULATIONS! I will resist buying cute baby girl clothes for you and sending them to LPM.
Must... resist....
Oh. You are going to have such a blast shopping for a little girl! I wish I would have had more spending money when my girls were babies but it still was fun - even on a budget.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I only know you thru this blog (and your Mom's), but I can't tell you how excited I am for you & Curt and Jackson! I was praying for you one day shortly after finding out you were expecting, and I had a mental picture of Jackson being a protective big brother to an adorable little princess! I only wish you could have recorded everyone's response to the news - it must have been priceless.
ReplyDeleteCongratultions, and much love to all of the Jones family!
Linda
Congrats to all! I have 3 of them and you are just going to LOVE having a girl! Blessings!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news Amanda! I am so excited for ya'll! Cute little pink outfits, dresses, hairbows, girls are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun!! A girl to go with Jackson and your family is blessed to be sure!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and many blessings to all your family!
Now, what are you going to name this sweet little miss??
Praise the Lord. :) You are in for the time of your life!!!
ReplyDeleteHow special!
blessings,
stephanie
Can I just say I checked back here like 30 times yesterday to see if you have posted yet! Jackson is going to be a GREAT BIG BROTHER to the princess. Little girl stuff is SO MUCH FUN.
ReplyDeletesmiling.
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHH! Yay Amanda! Boy's are SO fun, I have two of them! But I am SO blessed to be a mom of a daughter too, it is so precious! Congratulations
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I am excited for you.
ReplyDeleteSmiles!
Congratulations! A little girl, how wonderful! I only have one boy, and I spent plenty of money on his clothes. If it had been a girl...I'd still be paying it off! They just seem to have cuter clothes for girls. I can't wait to hear about all the differences between boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteoh how fun! congratulations on the pink! it took me 4 times to get that ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Amanda! I love my boy too, but there's just somethin' about having both that makes life all the sweeter and richer! Enjoy picking out those adorable girl outfits-you will not believe all that's out there for girls!
ReplyDeleteLove, Amy in OK
Congratulations on your news. I have 3 boys, ages 12, 10 and 8 and a little girl who just turned 5. Girls are so, so, so different from boys, but they are all definitely gifts from God.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo!! You are so going to love having a daughter. What a blessing.
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! Congratulations! You have SOOO much to look forward to... baby dolls and strollers, pink tutus, sparkly shoes, tiny purses, nailpolish, matching aprons, mommy-daughter shopping dates, crayon pictures of rainbows and flowers with "I love you Mommy" written on them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with us! Can't wait to "meet" her! :)
I am SOOO happy for you! Little girls are so fun to buy for!
ReplyDeleteHooray for little sisters!!
I can say that because I am one and I don't have any! :)
Congratulations!!!! What wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteI'm also expecting a girl and let's be honest - it's very hard not to buy every available and truly adorable pink thing. I'm trying to resist the urge to buy a dollhouse and tea set and one of those darling little baby buggies and an American Girl doll.
I don't remember having a spending problem at all with my son.
I'm so happy for you and am excited to see how we boy mamas adjust to raising daughters. Just thinking about the word "daughter" fills me with such a tremendous sense of responsibility.
Bless you and your little family!
Yay!! I'm so excited for y'all! Seeing as I'm still single, I don't have kids, but I do know that you will have fun with her and spoil her rotten. :)
ReplyDelete~Sarah
I am so excited for you I can't even begin to tell you how excited. I think it's such a blessing to be able to experince having a daughter and a son. They are so remarkably different and exciting. Oh my gosh.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I was secretly hoping it would be a girl! How perfect...one of each! Can't wait to see and hear all about your new adventures with your little girl! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYES! This is GREAT news! Karoline and Klaire will be thrilled to meet their new friend!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! What exciting news! I totally had the days mixed up and thought what you learned of yesterday was actually happening today! So...as your first thoughts this morning were "it's a girl!" I was praying for a great utlra sound and a coopertive baby. I was so excited to log on this morning and see the news! I was totally conviced it was a boy because you seemed so sure. And the whole comment from the nurse about thinking you were having another boy only convinced me more. What a fun surprise! Girls are so much fun! And big brothers are so great for little sisters! I'm so happy for you all! ~ Kristin
ReplyDeleteI love that you are having a girl! I am partial to them...you picked some adorable things for sure. And you were right on the LPM blog...the spending and shopping has only just begun!
