These last two days have been filled with who-knows-how-many different windows on my screen open at once. Checking and cross referencing a master list with a master table of content of over 300 items. Naming files and renaming files and making sure I stay in number sequence. Uploading and downloading and scanning. And, and, and…

Just when I thought my eyeballs might fall out of my head a coworker came into my office and was talking about his new-ish grand daughter and how the stage she’s in in so much fun. Of course once he left, I couldn’t stop thinking about baby-baby-baby. So I opened up my iphoto and started looking through Ry’s baby photos…

I mean really!? That kid killed me with the cute!!

I can’t help but wonder what little miss no-name is going to be like. What color hair will she have? Will it be red like Rylee’s? What about her eyes? I wonder how big she’ll be at birth. Will she be a champion sleeper baby like her big sister?

July will be here before I know it!

I cried again…

When I was pregnant with Rylee, I was so, so sure she was a boy. So imagine my shock {and sadly, disappointment} when we found out she was in fact a girl.

There were tears…big, ugly tears. What was I going to do with a…girl!?

Today we had our ultrasound for this little baby I’ve got growing inside of me.

And when we found out whether this baby is a boy or a girl, I cried again.

But, not out of shock and disappointment.

I cried tears of joy. And excitement.

Tears came when I thought about the future…how close these two will be.

My girls.

Sisters.

We’re having another girl and my heart is so full right now I think it might explode. You see, somewhere along the way, Rylee has taught me so much about love and that what we want, might not always be what we need, but what we need and what we have is in fact, perfect for us.

I cannot wait to tell Rylee tonight!

{And for the record I’m crying again}
