While we were having our ultrasound (which was over 2 hours!) baby Faith was playing hard to get. She would not change positions so that the tech and doctor could get a good look at her heart or to determine if she was a boy or girl. She did give us the thumbs up a couple of times… which has special meaning to Brad. When the boys were little, Brad would always give them a ‘thumbs up’ for extra reassurance if they were scared or unsure about something. It’s always been a ‘sign’ in our family that we use… so you can imagine our excitement when we saw this on the ultrasound screen several times! (now true, she was probably getting ready to suck her thumb... but maybe not!)

| Hey Mom & Dad.. all is cool in here.. no worries! |
Knowing that I was a nervous wreck that entire day hoping that everything checked out on the ultrasound, it was like she was saying to us, “hey mom and dad… quit worrying… I’m giving you reassurance that I’m ok!” Yet another miracle from God! Total peace came upon me at that moment.
Finally after some pushing and poking of my stomach, baby moved and we were able to determine that we were having a Girl!... what a little stinker! I hope E and Faith like pink because after all the footballs, baseballs, basketballs, camo and GI Joe gear around here... I'm ready for a little pink! (not that I don't TOTALLY enjoy my boys... you know what I mean)!! But, I must admit, I have a PINK football jersey! I can't wait for these 2 girls to finally meet. What a sweet moment it will be.
Congratulations guys ! Ah, the fun having having both worlds in the house --- the physical boy side, and the emotional girl side. I'm with ya ! Both are exhausting -- DAILY ! Yet both offer such an amazing blessing in different ways. Enjoy ! God certainly had a plan for you guys. Two older and two younger, same gender, so they can grow up together. Too sweet !
