God is sending us some SPARKLE! We are thrilled, overwhelmed, shocked, confused, excited, thankful....every single emotion we could ever feel. We had a sweet little gender reveal around our kitchen table before a basketball game. I had a friend make some small cakes and she looked at our sonogram picture and sent me home with the correct ones. It was torture having them sit on our counter until Ryon could get home. We all bit into them and it revealed PINK cake! I was completely shocked. I was convinced it was another boy. My body felt it, I just thought boy the whole time. I think Ryon was pretty shocked too, but super excited. He has wanted a little girl to love and he's going to make the best daddy to her. I was/am very nervous about it. I know boys, it's who I am, it's what I have done for 6 years now, so I am really having to re-train my brain and trust God on this one. I just keep having the thought run thru my head that "God will equip me." As nervous as I am of being a great mom, friend, role model, to a little girl, I know that God is working on my heart and teaching me the things I am going to need for her. I'm excited about her. I just want to be good enough for her. I want to be loyal. I want to be a Christian role model for her. I want to be the person she runs to. I want to be beautiful for her. The week we found out it was a girl it really threw me for a loop. I was really struggling with the fact that our whole world was changing once again. Not only this pregnancy, but then a girl! Eek, could we do this? But slowly, with a lot of prayer and overly excited friends, God is softening me and working on my heart. He's telling me I can do this. He's telling me to be excited. He's sending me great friends that will help me. I'm taking baby steps with the pink and girly items but slowly it's happening!
The biggest most exciting has been picking her name. Everyone has anticipated her "texas county" name so revealing it to everyone has been fun.
Coryell is a Texas County around Gatesville area. It doesn't have much meaning to it other than that it's a beautiful unique name that we loved. Kay is Teri's middle name. So we are thrilled to have some pink in our world and are able to call her by name. It's been different for us finding out gender and revealing her name, we usually don't do either. It's definitely made it fun. As far as Coryell goes, she is a gymnast in my belly, she loves pickles, all things sweet, gets the hiccups quite frequently, and enjoys basketball games! It's surreal to be pregnant again and feeling all of these things again...and for the very last time. (For real this time, haha) I'm holding up okay. My legs have given out on me and if I could be a in a wheel chair and still do my motherhood duties I would! Mamas don't get breaks though so I'll push thru like always. And limp a little! We love you sweet Coryell Kay! We can't wait to spoil you. (And teach you how to throw rocks and climb trees!)
