the newest pehrson princess!!



jordan and i are super excited to announce that we are having a little girl!! to be completely honest, we were both shocked when they told us. not because we were really hoping for one way or the other, just because for the longest time we've both been thinking it was a little boy! i've had to keep saying over and over that my mommy instinct stinks! nonetheless, of course we are thrilled! i had avoided the pink baby sections of stores for so long.....its been so fun getting to really spend some "quality time" getting familiar with them again!

we decided that we'd try to keep it a surprise long enough for me to make and send announcements out to family and friends. that was super hard, let me tell you! i almost slipped up quite a few times, but i think we were successful in keeping it a surprise. i had so much fun making these cutesie little cards.....



here's the newest peak at our little pehrson princess!















it didnt take long for jordan to get wrapped around her little finger. in fact, he was the one that went on the first shopping spree for her! he was really wanting to buy a pearl snap hurley shirt that he had found in the little boy's section a few days before our ultrasound. once he knew she was a girl, he refused to buy it, saying his little girl would not wear that! i tried convincing him that they must make hurley in pink. he didnt believe me! at least not until i actually showed him. his eyes seemed to light up just a bit perhaps and the rest is history. he picked up most of his favorites....saying his little girl will have to be part rocker chick! im okay with that. that way i know she's his little girl!



as i become more and more "familiar" with the little girl sections, jordans "man cave" (aka the spare bedroom where most of his stuff is) is slowly turning from "man cave" to "maybe cave" (which he named after the fact that now its more like part man cave and part baby cave), and therefore is slowly becoming more and more pink. ive even turned her little rocking horse completely girly. im getting so excited for her to come already! i cant wait. only 18 more weeks to go!

Oh- I am excited to be able to talk about it. Is the dresser now pink? I can't wait to come in 2 and 1/2 weeks to see all the baby stuff. I wish you lived close. I want to love on her everyday like I did to Jordan. That will make me sad not to see her very often.

Yeah for little girls! I am so excited for you guys! I promise you are going to spend a fortune on girl stuff! I have like 7 rubbermaids full of clothes, shoes, hairbows and accessories that Hallie has already grown out of and don't you worry because her dresser and closet are still full! There is just so much fun girl stuff! My poor little boy has quite a bit of stuff already but nothing compared to Hallie bugs! Have you guys picked out any names yet? You seriously should give me a call sometime...I would love to chat with you! I miss ya!

How exciting!! I think it's neat that you know ahead of time that she is a girl. The card you sent is the most creative and lovely card I have ever seen! Hope to see you soon.
