Can't believe it but I'm almost halfway through! I swear I just found out that we're having another baby! This week we found out that we are going to be parents to three, yes, 3! little girls! Baby girl number three is on her way!
When we found out she was a girl I teared up a little. I was really wanting to know what it would be like to be a mommy to a little boy. Rachel had been so excited about having a brother that when I told her she would have another sister, she started crying too. BUT, a few minutes later we were just excited that the baby was healthy. Rachel LOVED hearing her little sister's heartbeat through the ultrasound machine and asked to listen to it again.
This is the first pregnancy where we didn't have a name picked out right away but it took us just a few minutes to decide on the perfect name for her, Rebecca Marie. It was kind of crazy how it worked out. I had been thinking that in case she wasn't a boy we would need a girl name. I am pretty sure that Josh had mentioned the name Rebecca before but he denies it. Anyways, we were talking on the phone after the ultrasound and he asked me if I had any ideas on names. I said that the only name that has been in my mind was Rebecca and he was like, what? Have you been talking to my mom? I said not about names. Apparently his mom and dad were thinking about using Rebecca when they were trying to decide on what to name Brittany. When he told me that it just seemed like that was the name we were suppose to use. And Marie is my sister's middle name and it just flows. So that is how we came up with our third daughter's name, Rebecca Marie.
I've been feeling my little girl wiggle more lately. So far she seems a lot more mellow than her sisters, which I think is a good thing. I am excited to feel her more and to get an idea of who she may be when she gets here.
Now it's time to get her room all ready for her arrival. Time to go through all the of the boxes of clothes and toys and see what we need and have. I am really excited to have another little girl in our lives.

My Dearest Little Girl,
I am so blessed that you are going to be joining us soon. I know your little presence is a gift from God and for that I am thankful. I have been feeling you wiggle more and I can't wait until your big sisters can feel you moving inside of me. They are very excited to see you and know who their little sister is going to be. I love you dearly.
Love,
Mommy
