Since the beginning of my pregnancy Jack was hoping for a girl and Palmer for a boy. Mom and dad were hoping for a baby human :)
After being blessed with three beautiful baby boys….

We are so excited to welcome a baby girl!! I would’ve posted
the pic of her bottom, but then who wants their first facebook picture to
be of their butt right? We are thankful from the ultrasound she looked healthy
and growing as she should be. I did ask Cathy (our ultrasound lady) to check
multiple times since we were very surprised and didn’t quite believe her at first... We could
tell from this ultrasound this baby has big hands and feet, just like her big
brothers :)
And while we are excited to welcome a girl to our family, we would’ve been just as thrilled had we been blessed with a baby boy. (I have to say this because I don’t like comments like ‘Oh you finally got your girl!’ as if we were holding our breath hoping only for a girl). What an adventure and honor it would’ve been to raise little men to love the Lord. I so love being a mama to boys- doing all things boys like Star Wars, legos, and gun fights. I can’t even fathom what princesses and dress-up will look like in this house, but I’m looking forward to that too.
We praise God for the gift of new life. He deserves all the honor and glory for the little miracles He creates! The verse below has always been a good reminder that God alone has the power to give forth new life- no matter how at times I wish things were under my control or go according to my plan. It has been encouraging during times when I've struggled to get pregnant or wrestled with worry during pregnancies. Truly He deserves all the glory, honor and praise.
'You are worthy our Lord and God
to receive glory and honor and power
for you created all things
and by your will they were created and have their being'
Revelations 4:11
