What Could It Be?

That's what David said before anyone opened a present this Christmas. And we all wondered what kind of present could be hiding in my belly. I had my ultrasound a week before Christmas. Chad and I closed our eyes while the technician checked out the gender. Well, I closed my eyes while Chad tried to peek. She wrote it down on a paper and we dropped that off at my friend's. She bought and wrapped us a present.

She dropped it off  Christmas Eve with a note that read: A little elf was flying above listening to wishes of children of love. He heard a cry of a child to be who said, "Please don't forget about me! Please tell my family I love them dearly and will be with them soon to be their new baby! When I remember the sweet baby Jesus I'm glad he had a special family like mine to come to on Christmas! Please give them one thing to prepare them for me to let them know who I will be!"

I teared up, reached in the bag under the tissue paper and pulled out a...purple dress! Smiles! The pattern is no more but our hearts are sure we will be capable of loving a little girl anyways.

That may be the most fun reveal story I've heard. What a great way to get the news and share it with your kids.

Congratulations again!
