It's A......................................................

I prayed for this child and the Lord has given me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27

Today has been just one of the best days ever. I can't quit smiling. Scott and I met my parents at my doctor's office this afternoon. Mom greeted us with two bags - one for either sex.
Luckily (because I had a very full bladder) - we got in quickly and the ultrasound tech was so great! I was so nervous to know if the baby was okay - and it is PERFECT! We all cried as we watched the precious baby on the screen and saw the heart and the spine and the brain and the feet and hands.
This is a picture of me and my WONDERFUL doctor - I ADORE her! I look terrible because at this point I had cried all of my make-up off.
This is our beautiful, beautiful baby! Although in the top picture - we think it looks like a one eyed pirate. ha!
After our appointment - we went to eat at P.F. Changs with my parents to celebrate.

Oh - are you wondering what this precious baby is????

It's a .....................




GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I screamed and bawled when she told us. I have wanted a girl so badly. I would have been THRILLED with a boy but my heart just longed for a daughter. And deep down - I have known it was a girl all along.

Harper Brown will join our family in 5 short months and I could not be more excited about anything in the entire world!

Praise the Lord - Great things HE has done!!!!!

Congratulations!! Little girls are certainly special gifts from God. Of course, I feel the same way about my sons, too, but share such a special bond with my daughter. I love the name Harper! She will be (is) a much loved and adored baby.

My first grandchild, a boy, is due on Nov. 25. My daughter was 26 weeks along yesterday. We are all so excited!!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful news with your blogging buddies. I check every day to see how you are. I am so excited for all of you, too!! God is sooooo good!!

Blogger wouldn't let me comment yesterday, so I'm a little late.

I AM SO EXCITED YOU ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!! You know I'm a little (or ALOT) biased, but oh I love baby girls!

And how much do I love that you already have half her wardrobe purchased? You are a girl after my own heart.

Congratulations on sweet Harper.
