Daughters

Baby Girl #3 is on her way!!!

Here I am 20 weeks pregnant.

A few weeks ago, we found out that baby #3 was a precious baby girl. What can I say, we know how to make girls, and we know how to make them well. If I could have a million Molly and Elley's, I would.....on a good day.


Elley was the most excited of us all, to find out that she would have another sister. She was convinced that baby #3 was a girl from the beginning. When the ultrasound tech told us that girls were our destiny, Elley jumped up and down and said, "A girl, I'm so excited!!!" She even made up a song about the baby being a girl and her having another sister. It was cute and it made me excited to see how excited she was. She will be a big helper and a wonderful big sister again.

Molly could care less. I don't think she is old enough to really realize what gender matters. Although, she loves babies and I'm excited to see her love this one. I'm sure she will be a wonderful big sister when the day comes.

Adam has come to terms now with the fact that he will be a dad to 3 girls. He did say that at least he was already bald. He loves his girls and I can't wait for the day when he holds his 3rd baby girl and he melts. From day one, these girls grab a hold of their daddy's heart and don't let go.

I was so excited to find out that we were having another girl. I LOVE GIRLS!!! I'm sure I would love boys too, but right now, in this very moment, I couldn't imagine it any other way. I think it's pretty neat that Heavenly Father has in trusted me with these spirits.

In a quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley, he says,

"It is tremendously important that the women of the Church stand strong and immovable for that which is correct and proper under the plan of the Lord. We call upon the women of the Church to stand together for righteousness. They must begin in their own homes.... They must be the teachers and the guardians of their daughters...When you save a girl, you save generations. I see this as the one bright shining hope in a world that is marching toward self-destruction."

After reading this quote and having daughters of my own, I feel proud and honored to be a mother to girls. At the same time I feel a tremendous responsibility to be the BEST mother I can be. I hope and pray my girls will know how much I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and how much I love them!!! They make me want to be a better person.

So here's to 4 1/2 more months until we get to meet our sweet baby girl #3.
