Gender Party

We had our doctor appointment this week and everything looks great! We saw Dr. Taft and I just love him! He took a good look at the baby and said that everything looked healthy and happy! The best news was that the blood clot doesn't even look like an issue anymore! Praise the Lord! I do not want to take this for granted because it easily could have gone the other way. So my understanding now is that they are treating the pregnancy like a normal one so I can go back to seeing midwives. I won't need to be seen again until 5 weeks!


Favorite memory from the visit was we took Cora with us to the appointment. I wasn't sure how much she understood about the baby. Well she loved seeing the baby on the screen. She kept pointing at it, saying "baby, baby!". Dr. Taft even picked her up and sat her in his lap while he did the ultrasound and she was so content just sitting there watching everything. He even printed off her own photo of the baby for her to have. Wish I had a photo of that sweet moment!


We told them our plan for the party so they did a great job of keeping it a secret for us and put the photos in an envelope for us to see later.


Which brings us to today! Our gender party!! We had a great time - the guys worked on the swing set and the girls played with the kids and tried keeping them entertained. After dinner we cut into the cake to find out what this little one is! It was a great experience! I loved doing this!



We took Cora and Parker strawberry picking. She loves some strawberries. She kept saying "taste, taste!"



Our cake! Turned out so good! and it tasted even better!



To our absolute shock! We are having another girl!! I was SHOCKED to see pink. William and I cut into the cake and when we pulled the knife out, it had pink frosting on it!

The redneck boys after a long day building Cora's swing set!  She has loved it and we are so thankful for our family!
