Boy or Girl

It's a girl!! 

It is no secret that we were hoping for a boy. It may have been due to the fact that we know we probably won't have anymore of our own kids, and we already had the opportunity to experience the joy of a little girl so a little boy would give us the blessing of both. Or it may have had everything to do with the part of me as a little girl that dreamed of a house full of little boys. Regardless we were delighted and relieved to find out that we were having another little girl. 

This little girl is such a blessing to us already. She is a little gift we can't wait to hold in our arms. A miracle that God chose us to know and watch grow. This child is a gift of life. We had a name picked out early on in the case that she was a girl, but somewhere along the way Mr. J. decided on Evelyn. It was a fun surprise when we learned that Evelyn means gift of life from God. It was as if God had picked the name before we had even fully realized the significance behind it. 

We only have a few months left to prepare for this little girl but we are so excited for the day we will get to bring her home and introduce her to you all. 

With an Earnest Love,
