It's gonna be a...

...GIRL!!

Yep, that's right! And we could not be more thrilled! We honestly didn't care either way what it was (because after you have had your newborn sent to the NICU, the sex just doesn't seem that important), but here are the reasons that I'm super-excited to have another girl:

*matching outfits
*lots of monogramming
*hairbows in every color
*dance recitals
*2 girls close in age will have similar interests, friends, etc.
*2 shopping buddies
*the girls can be lifelong best friends
*we have everything we need for a girl, so this time around we can just buy all of the fun, cutesy stuff
*I already know Benjy is a great Daddy for a little girl
*I believe God gives you what you can best raise

So, in the spirit of having another little girl--Hannah and I went shopping! Here is what Hannah picked out for her little sister:

And, of course, we had to treat the big sister, too. This is what she picked out:


So much fun and so much to look forward to! We are so blessed.
