Announcing! It’s a…

For the first time in twelve and a half years….

 

we are going to have two children of the same sex consecutively! Diddybugs is going to have SISTER.

Per my niece Melissa’s advice, I baked a cake and hid a thick pink frosting layer in the middle. After dinner, Nana came over. We looked at the non-incriminating pictures and ooohed and aaaawed over the sweet little features of the baby.

Then Nana cut a nice big piece of cake and held it up for all to see. I thought Gracie was going to explode she was so happy that she gets another sister!

I was so blessed at my children’s reaction. The girls are excited to add a fifth bed to their room(after the baby turns two, of course).

I went to 1st Impressions in Bellingham for their 2d gender package. What a surprise blessing to have a sweet young lady from our church, Julia S., greet us and get to do the ultrasound! It was soooo fun. Afterwards, we got a DVD of the session put to classical music and the kids sat there, mesmerized watching the whole thing after we cut the cake.

Gracie, Elijah and Lydia were very, very interested and the lightbulb seemed to come on in Elijah’s head. 

 

“Look mama!”

 

“That’s my new sister!”
