Tai Nua

On April 9th we found out that our Tai is a sweet little baby girl!  

 

 

She tricked us all, after experiencing a whole different kind of pregnancy this time around I was so certain that Tai was a boy but to our surprise, we will be welcoming another princess into our family come September!

 

Sage's family & my parents were all present during the announcement of Tai being a girl.  I'm so thankful that they were all there to share in the exciting moment.  All of my siblings and majority of my close friends are all in Salt Lake so to have the few of them there, meant so much. 

We all somewhat hopped for a boy, especially Sage.  Within the first seconds of our ultrasound the tech had gone in between Tai's legs & I knew that she, was not a little he.  Once she confirmed that Tai was a girl I cried tears of joy, excitement, & a little bit of sadness.  I know that sounds horrible but I felt so bad for Sage.  He wanted a son so badly, so badly in fact that I could have sworn when we got in the car to leave, I began to cry more & I looked over to see him holding back tears.  It's a good thing he doesn't read our blog because he'd kill if he saw that I wrote that.

That night we went home & the sad moods continued.  But the next morning we found ourselves excited to be welcoming another beautiful little princess into our family.  Anelia is such a joy, she's perfect in every way in our eyes & I can't wait to see what Tai is like.  I'm guessing she'll be quite different from her sister considering the trouble she's given me this far in my pregnancy, little stinker.

I look forward to watching my girls grow up together.  Having two older sisters myself, I cherish all of our memories that we have shared.  They're my best friends & have guided me through many of my trials.  I look forward to watching Anelia guide Tai & being a great example.  I can't wait to see what adventures the two of them will get into.  They'll be eachother's first best friend, what a pleasure it will be to witness.

Ultimately, Sage & I are thrilled that we will be having another healthy little blessing!  We wanted another baby, boy or girl & Tai is exactly what The Lord intended for us to have.  I am 17 weeks today & I am so grateful to our Father in Heaven for providing us with another girl.  I know that there are so many people out there that are unable to experience the incredible blessing of parenthood. So although we were a bit "thrown off" by the news of Tai being a girl, we ARE thrilled to be have her.

Here's to being a parent of not just one but two beautiful girls!  May they be easy on us when they're teens... *sigh*
