beyond stoked

{Janice, Joy, Vashti, Sarah and April: hats off to you! You were correct!}

We are having another girl!
When the tech told us baby Avocado is a girl Chad and I gave each other a sturdy high-five, I believe I even said the words:"rock on!"
We both wanted another girl.
We are so happy.
We have no idea what this little beauty's name is going to be.
{we always have Avocado though, right?}
.
.
I could tell Lily was a little fiery from the beginning.
I like to compare her to Phad Thai, spicy level 3.5 out of 4.
I feel like this little girl will be peanut sauce, sweet, tangy and delicious.
.
Watching Avocado suck her fingers, cross her dainty legs and be so safe and cozy in my womb today, for the first time I felt like I can handle this. I have been nervous, TWO babies? That is going to be a lot of work, am I going to be a stress ball the whole time? Will I EVER shower?But today I felt so calm, I can do this. I can do this, and love it.
I am excited to meet our lovely, I plan on enjoying each stage of my pregnancy, and if I find myself complaining too much I will read THIS.

Congratulations!

I hope you have better luck with names than we have... we're back at it tonight.
And yes, we've never met, but I knew you lived with the Booth's and I read your blog all the time. (I'm a pretty shameless blog stalker, but an honest one). :)

How fun. I have to tell you a crazy story about having a girl, so 3 people in our ward were "having" girls and they turned out boys, not to scare you or anything. I told you that because we just found out today that another one who was expecting another girl just found out it is actually going to be a girl, at least she found out before he came. Any ways thought I would share that crazy story!

WOOOOOO HOOOO!!! I am so excited for you!!! You are such a great mom, Rach, I really admire you. Can't wait to meet that little Avacado! (Hey, Ava is a pretty name... like... long A... Ava... I may have just named your spawn.)

Tif said...

Welcome to the two-girls club! I remember CRYING when I found out Scharae was a girl...and now I'd not change a thing! All those clothes that Lily has only worn like 3 times before she outgrew them-esp from the infant sizes-are perfect for girl #2. Well, that's if you're neurotic about saving all of them like I was!

Becca said...

Congrats!! That's exciting.

Jessica said...

That is so exciting! Sisters are so much fun, especially when they are so close in age. Samantha and Ashley are always telling me they are best friends, and snuggling on the couch, or holding hands. I just love watching them play together. Except when they are fighing, pulling hair, and running off to their room to slam the door...oh yeah, sisters are also DRAMATIC. But SOOO worth it!!

conrats! having two is a lot of work... but totally worth it. there is something really sweet about seeing blaine play with isla, kiss her and express her love in general. it is so sweet that there are two sweet little girl loves of my life! i know you will enjoy it too!

plus the world needs Lily 2.0

Kelsey said...

April said...

Rachel I am so excited for you. Two girls will be so much fun. I think I'm about ready for a girl BUT then again 4 boys would be really cute too!
I loved that Nie Nie post wasn't that so humbling.
I'm glad you had a good Mothers Day. You deserve it!
Congratulations!!!! I bet this next little girl will be a 6.5 out of 4 spicy...just you waite and see!
