JOVIE CLAIRE!!!

if you can't tell from the obvious explosion of pink on this cake or by the name, then let me spell it out for you: WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

we are absolutely so excited. to be honest, i was surprised. i was expecting to hear that it was little boy #2. but me & the hubs were wrong. we are so thrilled. i can't wait to go crazy & buy her humongous bows, frilly dresses & all things girly!! i think having both a boy & a girl will be perfect. i'm so happy that we'll be able to experience both genders. Jack & Jovie will be 15 months apart, so we'll definitely have our hands full, but it will be a blast.

little girl was such a ham during the ultrasound. she moved (a lot) when the tech didn't need her to & would not budge when the tech needed some movement from her!! but she is 100% healthy & growing right on target. we have to get another ultrasound in November to make sure her arms & legs are the correct measurements. she just wouldn't unclench enough for the tech to get accurate measurements. but from what she saw, she wasn't concerned at all. so PRAISE THE LORD!!! a healthy baby is all i was asking the Lord to give us.

ben is just thrilled. he couldn't wait to tell everyone today. we've had such a blessed day.

we LOVE you so much little girl & we can't wait to meet you!! she's due February 8! so bring on the countdown. i am now on the hunt for nursery items, (i'm thinking turquoise & red will be the color scheme) and a sweet little monogrammed gown for her to wear in the hospital!!!!

here's to Sugar & Spice and everything nice!!!
