Blue or Pink...

All I can say is God is truly amazing and there is no question that he is watching over my little family.
right before leaving my appointment today, my husband calls and tells me the most reassuring news that the ship's underway was cancelled this week and he was on his way home to go with me to my ultrasound appointment.  This means, I didn't have to take my daughter to the babysitter and that they could both be with me to find out who the new addition to our family is going to be.
How amazing is it that this would happen to us when it always seems like me and my husband have the worst luck ever!  I am beyond thankful for how well this day went for us and to top it off.....We are having a BOY!!!
I feel like my family is complete, I have a beautiful one year old girl and now soon a handsome little boy.
I am so blessed. 
Lord, you never seize to amaze me.


Love...all the way from San Diego

Excited much??

It's 1:03 am...
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve anticipating the arrival of Santa and opening all the gifts under the tree.  I can't sleep for the life of me because tomorrow is the day I find out the sex of my second baby!
Now, I dont know what it is about me but I just don't have a feeling of what it may be.  Most women say they "just know" whether its a boy or girl but me...no...not even with my first, Cheyenne.
Even if I guess what the sex is, it'll be the opposite considering thats exactly what happened with my first and  I was totally embarassed in front of the ultrasound tech.  The only downfall of tomorrow though, the Navy has kidnapped my husband once again and he can't be there and if he cant be there, niether can my daughter...
Instead, I was desperate to find a babysitter in to watch her for an hour (I did) because all of our family lives in Colorado Springs.  I promised that i would write my husband about the appointment right when I find out. I'm crossing my fingers that he is able to check his email since thats the only communication I have with him until he gets back.
I think I'm more excited about finding out this time then i was about findint out about my first baby.  With your first i was imagining what life would be like with either a boy or girl but this time, all i can imagine is what life is going to be like for Cheyenne.  If its a girl, they'll be the best of friends...if its a boy, then i'll have to protect him from Cheyenne picking on him and dressing him up! Either way, Cheyenne is going to be great. She loves other babies.
Anticipation, anxious, excited...Gosh I just feel so much more than that! I can't wait!
