It's a girl!

Hi!! I am sitting at the airport waiting to board my plane to head onto Houston and party with all the other scrappers at CKC!! I am so excited! Make sure if you are going you come find me and say hello!


I have some exciting news that I have been dieing to share with you! Avery is going to be a big sister! And not only that, we found out a couple days ago that...


It' s a Girl!!

Yay!! We are so excited and don't really know what we are getting into, having 2 kiddos running around but we are half way there to holding another sweet, baby girl!

I was certain that it was a boy until Tuesday morning when I woke up and was laying in bed thinking about the ultrasound and all of a sudden I knew it was a girl! I didn't say anything because who wants their motherly intuition to be wrong:) It's always so amazing once you see the baby that's in your belly on the screen. Wow! Such a miracle!


Poor Collin is now officially out numbered by drama and curls.



PS I have a new toy. It's a tiny camcorder! So be prepared for some fun footage from Houston!

My mom told me that you were pregnant a while ago, but I was waiting for you to make an "official" announcement on your blog. Congratulations!!! Having 2 girls will be so fun and Collin will love every minute of it. My kiddos are only 17 months apart and it was not bad at all, I actually enjoyed it.

So great to meet you IRL yesterday at CKC! You are as endearing as I thought you would be!

I SAW you pregnant, and still can't believe it! You are so tiny! Remember, you promised me you would be "FAT" next time I saw you!

so you are a sneaky one! i looked back and you knew you were pregnant on the day that you shared Colbie Caillat's Capri song with us, huh? huge congrats...what a year you are having! i shared the capri song with my girlfriends a while back and this week one of them sent it back asking us to listen to the words...that's how she told us she is pregnant with #3! too fun...enjoy the girls...i'm a mom of three boys and although i can't relate to the girly girl stuff i will say that siblings of the same sex has been an amazing experience!

Shanna said...

congrats to you Liz and Collin. You guys are sure to have another beautiful girl. You two make the most beautiful kids. I hope you are feeling well Liz.
