So when the opportunity arose over the weekend for us to find out if we were having a boy or girl, Kathy and I decided to find out so we could tell our family, close friends, and the entire Journey worship service the news as an early christmas present. So its official that we are having a girl. The first thought that went through my head was how exciting it would be to be able to give away my daughter at her wedding years from now. Shortly after that I thought: "I guess I'm going to have to learn how to fix her hair." So it was a flood of different emotions very quickly.
When we first decided to learn if we were having a boy or a girl the first "c" name that came to mind was Courtney. And after discussing quite a few other names we decided to go with Courtney. (Although Carson still prefers Donkey) It really is kind of cool to already have a name picked out this early. Instead of referring to the baby as "the baby" we can call her by her name. I love it.
I can't really explain the feeling I have right now, it is so much different than the feeling I remember when we found out Carson was a boy. I know there will be a different dynamic in my relationship with Courtney than with Carson. I get the feeling that Courtney will have me wrapped around her little finger from day one. And I know Carson will be a great big brother and protector of his little sister. And I know Kathy will love making things and picking out cute girl clothes and bows for her.
It is such an exciting time during the holidays to be able to think about all that goes along with having a girl. I can't wait till the end of May for Courtney Grace Anderson to join us.
