To my little girl

Dear Eva Kate,
We found out this week that you are definitely a girl!!! We are so excited to name you and know more about you. And I always knew you were a girl, if only just in my heart and my prayers. You were in such a perfect position that the sonogram woman was able to get a picture of your girl parts right away. Yeah!!!! While we were watching you on the screen you were moving around so much and already sucking your tiny thumb! During your profile picture you kept turning your head to the side and we joked that you were making sure that they got a picture of your "good side." You must be taking after your mama already :)

I hope you are girly like me, but if you're not that's okay. Just know that your early life will be surrounded in pink and bows until you are old enough to say otherwise. Eva Kate, we are looking forward to doing all the little girl things with you. I want to dress you up and play dolls and make cookies with you. Your daddy wants to take you on daddy-daughter dates to the Ranger's games together. We can't wait to hold you and kiss you and tell you how much we love you every single day.

We pray for you every day and trust that God is creating you in a perfect way. Sometimes I get happy tears just thinking about you becoming part of our life. Keep growing inside me!

love, Mama

P.S. As soon as we found out that you were a girl we went to Target to buy you your first official girl outfit. I have wanted to buy this for you for months. It is so cute and I can't wait to put you in it!!!!
