enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

we are having a…

Surprise!

Of course! 😉

What a total joy! Seriously. What a joy.

At our ultrasound yesterday we learned Baby Cripe is developing right on schedule with four heart chambers and four very active limbs. Baby looks healthy and she has the cutest profile ever. I had yet to cry at an ultrasound and this one brought tears. I really feel like I knew she'd be a she.

I am SO glad that the baby cooperated and Paul and I were able to find out together. It's still very up in the air that he'll be home for the birth and so sharing this small moment was so special for us.

We feel very blessed and are overjoyed to be welcoming a little girl into our home this June.

Surprise1!

p.s. all the online gender predictors said boy, so pregnant friends, feel free to take all that with a grain of salt. 🙂

    congratulations. All of my online predictors said boy, and I had a girl. Baby girls rock.
    Enjoy her, and all the little grunts and coos and smells. The first few months are exhausting, but fun. My little one is colicky and I’m still having a blast.
    Quick word of advice – don’t buy items other than absolute must haves (like a very specific stroller or an unusually sized crib etc.) until you hit about month 7. People will come out of the woodwork to give you their almost always very lightly used baby stuff. I didn’t even have to buy maternity clothes.

    We found out last week what we were having as well and I just KNEW what it was going to be before we even found out. I was so anxious to know. 🙂

    Congratulations! I’m a new reader and I just have to say I’m so happy for you. I feel like I know you already! Your posts regarding the baby are so sweet and heartfelt, they bring tears to my eyes (my little one just turned two and I so clearly remember the way I felt upon learning I was pregnant!). Also, haha, I love your shirt! Can I ask where it’s from?
