So Much Going On, So Little Blogging

I knew it! I knew I would end up being the world's most inconsistent blogger. But, when you've got so many firsts going on, it can be pretty tough to keep up with it all. In the last few months, Kevin, I, and the Gummy Bear have been on both coasts (literally both oceans), 4 countries, a cruise ship, in our car for 2500 miles oh and we got engaged, married, and found out the gender of our little one-to-be.

Let's focus on the gender since this site is all about the journey towards parenthood. I know it's annoying when people say that they don't care which gender of child they have and I realize it's usually false but I truly believe that is how both Kevin and I felt going into the ultrasound. That said, I was pretty convinced that I was packing a big ole boy around simply because I did not think God was going to grant me ownership of a sweet, precious, gentle little girl. I thought I had been pre-tagged for a rough and rugged little man. But, lo and behold our little one flashed us with a big empty space between her two little legs and I looked at Kevin's face and the love affair with Harper Ann Humphreys began! We are over the moon (ha, to use a very old school expression) and have since starting going nuts on ideas for the nursery (yes, there will be pink in there) as well as plans for keeping her from dating until she is 25 and what a huge success she will be at everything. We spent two days going through and categorizing the over 350 outfits given to us by dear friends (thankfully they had a girl too!) and are now talking cribs. It's all very exciting and I am glad we did not hold out on finding out what gender we would be blessed with (what was I thinking). Next week we will have another ultrasound with a better idea of when Harper Ann will be gracing us with her presence. In the meantime, I am experiencing firsts in the way of first kicks, hiccups, and majorly sleepless nights courtesy of her highness.

It is all wonderful!
