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. 🙂

    all the online predictors when i was pregnant with Owen said he’d be a girl, so i’m convinced at this point that you should just think the opposite! congrats!
