Unexpected Blessings

Sometimes when you start on a journey, you never know how the Lord will choose to bless you...and that was the case this year for our family. This past Monday we had the ultrasound for our little blessing on the way. My daughter, Elauna, has been praying for a baby sister. (She also prayed for twins in the beginning....I wasn't sure I was ready for two, but then she decided a sister would be fun). We kept telling her we would be happy with whatever God decided to give us. She would smile and say she would be happy, but that she still wanted a sister. We tried!!!

Elauna had big eyes in the office as the doctor started the ultrasound, and when the picture of baby showed up on the screen she was very excited. Frederick wasn't sure what he was watching, but at least the picture kept moving so he was interested. It didn't take long to find out baby's gender. I am always amazed at how God answer's little children's prayers, because we are having a girl. Elauna is SO happy she is having a baby sister. She was calling her Sissy Baby today.

Our little blessing is due December 1, but we are expecting somewhere around December 12 since I always go late....12 days late to be exact. They all have been healthy, so we are thankful.

Here is our beautiful girl!!
