My Little Girl

You're beautiful baby from the outside in.

Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again.

Go on, take on this whole world.

But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

I convinced Craig to have a Gender Reveal party. We went to the doctor on Monday and waited until Saturday to have the party so some out of town friends/family could join us.  Betsy, one of my college roommates and dear friends, kept the secret for us and had the confetti put in the balloon. We waited to find out at the party with all of our guests, which was a lot of fun! Our guests came dressed in blue or pink and played games: predicted boy or girl, picked the baby's name from a list, and guessed the heart rate as well as the position. Craig and I both had a very strong feeling our little miracle was a girl from the beginning. Most of our guests thought we were having a boy.  My mom actually guessed the name right, Miriam Lynn, and had almost a perfect score card. We can't wait to meet our sweet little girl in December!

Now time for the big reveal...

Miriam, we have many prayers and wishes for you. May you grow to deeply love and protect those people in your life who are special. You are our miracle and blessing from above! We love you!
