All Rowelled Up

A House Full Of Girls

It's official!! There is going to be a little girl coming to the house this summer.  Zach and I have had a feeling the whole time that it was going to be a girl. Not that we were hoping for one, we just felt it would be one.  All we wanted was a healthy and strong baby.  Our visit yesterday went wonderful and it was so amazing to watch her flip around and put her hands on her face.  I never cried though.  I think it really really really hit me that we are going to be having a baby! It just made it so real to see something more than a dot in the ultrasound.  

We came home and starting shopping online immediately! Now that we can actually look for gender specific things it was SO.MUCH.FUN!!!  We did good.  Only purchased one thing.  Found the bedding we are going to use.  Which means the walls are all going to have to be painted.  I was trying to avoid that but nothing we came across (and we looked at several different sites) matched the walls at all.  I really don't want an explosion of girly colors in her room so here is what we decided on.

We both really like this one and I like it because it's not too girly but still sweet.  It should be here Thursday and I can't wait to get my hands on it so I can see the colors in person and head to Lowe's to pick out some paint.

I'm 19 weeks today.  Here is a little picture of my growing baby girl.

It's also Valentine's Day!!  This is not a holiday that Zach and I go all out for.  It's usually an exchange of cards and then that's about it.  If he tries to tell you that he got me a cruise last year don't believe him! It may have taken place on Valentine's week but that's not why we went :)

I did receive a little goodie this year.  Came home to a sweet surprise.

The start to my new charm bracelet.  I've wanted one of these since I was a teenager.  

Love that husband!

Sooooo would you like to meet Evelyn Revay Rowell???

I just love that little face already!!!! :)

Here's what we were doing last year during this week.....

My, oh my, how life has changed.  Last year at this time we were soaking up the sun and hitting the beaches.  This year we are shopping for baby stuff and preparing ourselves for a big life change.

I'm so excited about this time in our life and feel completely blessed with everything God has given us.  

And it just keeps gettin' better :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
