It's a girl! It was definitely a surprise (to me), but a very good one. At first I was stunned and then I was so, so happy and started to cry. Rick was excited, gave me a kiss and said he thought it was a girl. It's comforting to know that God is the one who chose to surprise me with this little one.
I started to cry because I realized that this baby girl is part of a legacy. It's a legacy of what it means to be a woman who loves God, of how to care for and follow a husband, of how to laugh at yourself and your faults, of how to fill your home with joy and fun.
Mom, she is your legacy. Now it's my turn to try and teach her all those things that you taught me and modeled for me so well. I hope that she loves me someday half as much as I love you.
