Boy or Girl

Tuesday September 2, 2008 was a big day for us. We got to find out whether we were having a boy or girl. We were so excited. We didn't care one way or the other as long as the baby was healthy. We got into the ultrasound and they said everything looks great. Then they told us that we were going to be having a girl!!! Wow we are going to have 2 Daughters!!! Little scary, but such a huge blessing that we are so thankful for. We were a little surprised we kind of thought we were haveing a boy, but girls are definetly great and fun so we were not at all upset to learn that Avery was going to have a sister, which is what she wanted anyway. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. My dad has 3 daughters and now he is going to have 3 granddaughters. He doesn't mind at all though, it's just kind of funny.
That evening we had a reveal party in which are families came over and we got to reveal to them whether we were having a girl or boy. We had everyone guess what we were having first. We tried to get Avery to tell them, but she didn't so I did. Everybody was happy. Having a girl does make it a little easier because I already know girls, we have all of Avery's old clothes and I already have the bedding picked out. Her name will be Peyton Alexis Winfield!!! We cannot wait to meet her, but I did tell her to stay in for about 18 more weeks and then make her appearance. We are truly blessed to be having our second child. It is such a miracle how babies come from nothing into this human being that is so complicated and so perfect. I think that that in it self proves there is a God. How could so many cells make exactly what they do? It is just amazing to me. I cannot wait to meet our little miracle. I am nervous about being a mommy of two, but I know with help we will make the transition.
