So Eric has been getting on me to “blog” for a while now and so I’m finally taking the plunge. (By the way, has anyone notified Webster about this new verb “blog” ? ) So anyway, I’ve thought for a long time about what would be a worthy first blog and the only thing I can think of is the joy of having a daughter.
Before Noa was born, I was 99.9% sure I was having a little boy. In fact, once she came out, they didn’t tell me right away if it was a boy or a girl but I remember thinking to myself, “they don’t even need to tell me, I know its a boy…” And so for the first few hours after she was born, I was just shocked. The crazy thing is, now I can’t even imagine having a boy. It’s as if I have known Noa forever and I knew all along that I was going to have a daughter and it is the most natural thing in the world. I can’t imagine life any other way. I praise the Lord that He knows what we need, and what we want most (even when we don’t know what we want) and He gives it to us because He is good. I praise Him for my precious baby girl, who has brought an abundance of joy into my life and an abundance of beautiful, pink, girly things to top it off!

Too Funny! We were convinced as well that Meg was a boy. When she came out as a girl Kevin was confused and was convinced there was a mistake even though he had just seen her being born.
