Boots or Bows...soon we will know!

Due to this whole "it's-October-and-I'm-overwhelmed-and-tired-and-pregnant-and-struggling-with-antenatal-depression/anxiety-again" thing, I'm putting 31 Days of Prayer on the back burner. Is prayer something I'm still going to work on? Yes! But, this whole blogging every single day thing was exhausting and overwhelming last time I did it (and I didn't get all 31 days done then either), and it's stressing me out that I'm so behind, so I'm reminding myself that it's about #gracenotperfection and taking a step back. I still want to blog some about prayer, butI just need to take some time for my own sanity and remember that last time I pre-planned every blog post and this time I'm pregnant and overwhelmed, and that I don't have to do this whole #write31days thing to be the best blogger on the block, and that I don't really even need to be the best blogger on the block. I blog for myself, my family, to preserve memories, and to spread the light of Jesus to the world- not for notoriety, not for anyone else- just me and God. :)

Tonight, T and I will *hopefully* find out if Baby P is a boy or a girl! We say "hopefully", because baby does like to cross his/her legs a lot during ultrasounds, and we're only almost 15 weeks. I keep getting asked by people questions like "What do you think it is?" or "What are you hoping for?". To be honest, we think it's a baby, but we're hoping it's a velociraptor. :) Kidding.

We've had a gut feeling that it was a baby boy since the very beginning- we've had dreams, I've had symptoms, we just kept calling it a "he". We aren't "hoping" for anything more than a baby though. We would be so blessed with either a baby boy OR a baby girl- and we'll love them no matter what they are. If the baby is a girl, she'll have two girl cousins to love her and play with her when we visit. If the baby's a boy, I've got a little brother that's dying to teach him how to play football. It's a win-win situation, really.  While we're praying for God's protection over this precious child- we will love our child even if it is born with a health condition or disability. Our love for this child isn't dependent on its gender, health status, or anything else- we will love this child, simply because it is our child. We will follow the example that was given to us by our Father God- He loves us despite who we are- He loves us simply because we are His. Both T and I come from amazing, loving families that have loved and supported us throughout many endeavors over the years- we plan on following the example of the ones that went before us, and doing the same with our precious children.

But, in the spirit of fun- we decided to play a little game and designed a little poll where YOU can cast your vote on what YOU think Baby P is! Go here to vote, and we'll be announcing on social media (and a post on here!) when we find out! Here's some tips that might help you decide!
