We're having a Girl!!!

We had an ultra sound this week. I am 19 1/2 weeks along in my pregnancy and yes I know I need to post prego pictures... :) We found out we are having a girl. The lady doing the ultrasound was so dull, she said "well I'm thinking it's a girl," so i was like you're thinking, or it is??? But the pictures showed a little girl. It was hard for me to imagine having another boy, I love Luke more and more each second, so it's fun to have a completely different gender to think about. It is sort of a new adventure, buying girl things. I had already boughten a few girl items, but it feels weird to go in the kids stores and look at boy and girl things, I'm just used to shopping for my little sporty guy.
Luke is will be 16 months old in 1 week. Why does time go so fast and has stolen away my little baby, but has grown a beautiful blue eyed little boy. He is so interested in everything!! Today we went to a farmers market and in the middle of the shopping area we were at is a water play area. He would kind of go to the water but one little splash and he was running away and laughing and squealing. It was cute. Coy and I took him with us mini golfing last night and he had a lot of fun. We gave him two balls to hold on to. He had a lot of fun chasing our balls as we hit them and then would want to pick them up and hand them to us, which was pretty funny. There was a group of about 6 boys playing across the way from us. They were proabably about 8. I watched Luke just stare at them and make noises, he was so interested in them, and all their sounds, he just wanted to join them. I just wanted him to look away, I don't want to think about him being that big yet, and it makes me cry right now just sitting and thinking of letting him go to school, or birthday parties, instead of just wanting to sit with me and read books like we do now. I am super blessed that I have so much time with him, and I have LOVED it being the two of us. He and I really have a special bond that I know I may not have if we had not been able for me to be home. I feel rich for getting to be a mom to this awesome boy and soon girl. I'm thankful Coy is so supportive of me being home. There are things we are having to do without, but I would give up everything to have this time. Ok, on to something else before I cry a river.
The past couple of days Luke has spent at least half an hour just chilling out in the rocking chair in his room. He will sit in it and throw me a ball, or has even grabbed a few books and will sit there and just look and look at the same book over and over. It is really cute to watch him really look at the pictures in the stories. His favorite books right now are "Baby bear Baby Bear what do you see?" and he is loving "In the Small Small Pond" by Denise Flemming, she has a lot of great ones for early learners:)
Well everyone take care and I will work towards pregnant pictures and more pictures of Luke (as those are cuter anyway:) ha ha
