Exciting news!

I've never blogged before but when we found out we were going to be having a baby I decided that I would try it out. My sister-in-law Jana has a blog about her two girls and I love to read it as often as I can because although we live almost 2 hours away, I feel like I know the girls very personally and I get to stay caught up with their lives and I want to be able to do that for other people as well. So...we'll see how it goes.

Well today was the big day! We found out this afternoon that Colton and I are expecting a little girl! We thought we were going to have to leave the appointment without being able to find out what it was because the little booger wouldn't sit still...man she is a mover! When the lady (I don't know what they're called) finally was able to tell what it was she said "yep, it's a girl." Colton's first words out of his mouth were "awww man." I whipped around and said "COLTON" but I knew he was kidding and so was I. I know he wanted a boy so bad, but we'll just have to wait to see what the next one will be :) I think he is more nervous about having a girl, he kept saying "I don't know anything about them...I was raised with two brothers!" So right after the appointment we went to Once Upon A Child. The first time we passed it and Colton realized it was a second-hand store he kept on driving!!! He said "my daughter is not going to have anything used" (sorry my dear, but we haven't hit the lottery yet). We finally went inside and he immediately saw all the (cheap) outfits for little girls and started picking some out. I've never been to that store, but i think it's my new favorite! We got SO many outfits for like $3 a piece! I know some people may think that it's kind of gross or weird to buy clothes that have been used by people they don't know, but I think it's the best idea EVER. Kids grow out of their clothes so fast that I can't wrap my head around spending $20 on an outfit they will wear once. So anyway, now I can't wait for her to get here so we can dress her up! We also have the daunting task of picking out a name. I remember thinking that picking a name for my child would be so easy...but man it's hard! Especially when you have to get two people to agree on one name. So that is what we're working on for now.
