The White Picket Fence and Everything

So today (the day after my lovely wife's birthday) was the big day. We loaded up in the car, headed to the doctors office and with much excitement awaited the news of what our new little one will be. Carter has fluxuated back and forth between a boy or a girl but always the same name-Josh. First the important news, everything looks good, baby is growing and everything is healthy. Due date is still late January which gives us a little over 4 months to decide on a name for our little girl! Yep, we would have been happy either way but we are certainly very, very happy!

I can't say it came as much of a suprise for us. We were pretty convined, however you're always a little nervous. Fortunately the tech only asked Carter what he wanted (today he wanted a boy). You play the mind games of being happy no matter what etc but deep down we were both praying there would be an invasion of pink after the first of the year. So now one list of names is out the window--probably good since nobody spent much time thinking about them anyway.

So late January will be the first girl Gilchrist born to my family in 3 generations. It will also signal the first Gilchrist family with more than one child in 3 generations. And it means we have to buy new everything. Something tells me that part will be a little exciting for the beautiful woman who's lived with 2 boys and a boy dog for the past 3+ years. Now if only she could find some folks who could help her shop.......
