i have been very surprised by the excitement that is continuing to grow inside me about this baby girl. i selflessly wanted a boy for buxton but now i'm feeling that buxton will be happy just to have a playmate. and i'm thrilled that ben and I get to experience all the joys of having a daughter. i received the first girly outfit thats ever been in this house yesterday from my sweet friend sallie. i had to take a picture and post it so i can remember how much i loved this gift, for so many reasons. sunday marks the 1/2 way point for this pregnancy (20 wks). which means in 19 weeks we get to meet this baby girl (due to c-section 1 wk early). i already can't wait!

isn't it just precious:
