May. 2, 2008 - My first girl...

 Katie is my first girl.  She was longed for and loved even before she was conceived.  I hoped and prayed for a little pink in my life. We had two boys who were only happy when fulling entrenched in a mud pit or when sword fighting with dry pasta noodles.  I just wanted to see what pink might be like. 

When Katie was born I was in awe of her beauty and sweetness.  She is as girly as they come and a joy to be around.  No one told me though that little girls like to talk.  I am trying to take joy in the fact that she shares every thought with me because I know there might come a day when her friends hear it all and I will miss these days. 

The funny part of this story is that Katie is followed by two more girls!  I am overflowing with girls now.  I even hope if we are blessed again that it is another girl.  Sometimes though, I do long to snuggle a sweet bundle of blue blankets with a son tucked inside.
