We can hardly believe it, but our sweet new addition will be making her appearance in just three months! This has been such a happy, stressful, nerve-wracking, wonderful and beautiful little while, and, all together, we feel so immensely blessed.

| I took this picture literally three minutes after we had made the
discovery. I think Scotty's face sums up the intensely crazy moment that
was. You know those super cute wives that think up a clever and
adorable way to break the news to their husbands? Well, that wasn't me.
It more went like this, "Uh...Scott! Scott! SCOTT!!" |
 |
| Despite the look on our faces, we are thrilled about our little bun in the oven! | |

| Scott's world is about to be taken over by women--poor guy! This was the
day when we found out our baby was, in fact, a girl. We couldn't resist
heading out that night in search of our first piece of baby girl
clothing (and to be completely honest, I haven't been able to stop
since!) This cute guy is going to be the sweetest dad, and let's be real
here, he loves the baby shopping too. Several of our conversations
lately have sounded like this: "Hey, so what should we do tonight,
Scott?" To which he quickly replies, "Let's go look for an outfit for
our baby!" Yep, he's my hero! |
 |
| We are new to this whole parenting thing. So, we decided to start by
learning how to swaddle a newborn through watching YouTube videos one
night. We had to improvise a little, you know, for lack of baby. But
hey, you gotta start somewhere! |
At this point in the blog post I would insert my 25 week belly mirror selfie. But I refuse to even take one of those. Quite frankly, the belly ain't cute; it sort of just looks like I ate too much pizza for lunch.

| A picture of our baby girl from the first ultrasound. This was literally
a sacred experience for me--to see her move around, kick her little
feet, and stretch out her tiny arms. Oh, I can't wait to meet this
little one. |
This has been such a fun, spiritual, oftentimes freaky time for us, but through it all we feel so blessed! We have no idea what it takes to be awesome parents (suggestions welcomed, please) or even, really, how to make a baby stop crying (really, I've got a lot to learn!)
But honestly, we are grateful that this little spirit is ours and that we have the opportunity to be her parents--we are SO excited to meet her!
