Today was our big appointment where we got to learn about the little life that we are expecting. Phil and I have anxiously awaited this day, and we wanted to make it special and memorable. I created a little card for the doctor to fill out (which will also go in the baby book), and then we asked her to keep it a secret while we were in the office. She quickly determined the sex of our little bambino, and then she printed a few "revealing pictures." At that point, we were convinced that it was a boy...even though we hadn't seen ANYTHING yet. The doctor had a fun time with our little card, and she sealed it all up so that we wouldn't peek until our special dinner. Then she showed us the baby on the screen, and we LOVED watching the fluttering heart and moving hands/legs. It was very exciting!
After the appointment, we went to one of our favorite restaurants to celebrate the big reveal. Phil had the sealed envelope in his pocket, and he wouldn't pull it out until after we ordered. We said a prayer before opening the envelope...simply asking that God would continue to prepare our hearts to be parents of our little boy or girl and that He bless this new stage of our journey. Then, with great anticipation, we opened the envelope...
The doctor told us that she was 100% certain...and the "revealing picture" (which is too PG-13 for this blog) makes it quite obvious that we are expecting a little girl in the Hillary home! :)

YEAH!! We love girls!! :) Maybe her and Teagan can be college roomies one day. Hehe. I thought you guys were having a boy too...that's funny. I think it must be the opposite of what you think it is since the same thing happened to Tim and I. It was so hard not to peek and scroll down...the suspense was killing me!We're so happy for you guys and for these special moments you are creating! Keep cherishing the journey!
Yippee! I knew it! I voted right! So happy for you two! And so happy that Phil is home again. :)
Phil and Corrie, thank you so much for sharing your joy with us, in another unique and creative way. You are so perfect for each other! : ) What an exciting day in your house. I can say for certain that your visit was the highlight of your OB/GYN's day. : ) How lucky she is to have you three as patients! CONGRATULATIONS!!
