I will never forget Randy telling me "it's a girl!" I absolutely love my boys, but those words, for this baby, were pure sweetness. We named her Autumn because I love the season of Fall, and have always loved the name. I knew if we had a girl we had to name her Grace. In the Christian definition Grace is "the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings." It is the love and mercy given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not because of anything we have done to earn it.
It is by Grace that I have 3 healthy happy babies, my boys are wonderful kids, and now to have a little girl...
It is by Grace that I have a husband that loves me, and after 13 years of marriage we celebrate with a baby and not a divorce...
It is by Grace that our parents and siblings are all alive and healthy...
I could go on for a long time, but Grace is something that I feel every day, and I couldn't imagine a better name for our little girl!
Autumn being weighed...
Randy didn't tell the boys if it was a boy or girl. So we brought them in first, and here was their reaction when they saw the pink hat...
They got to go back to the waiting room to tell the grandparents...
It's a girl!!!
