It's a GIRL!!

I think I am still in a bit of shock that we are actually having a baby girl!! We are all so excited and even Benjamin has been talking about his baby "sis-tah." Not sure if he completely gets it, but we keep talking about it in hopes of getting him a bit prepared.
For that last two and a half years we have been completely immersed in everything "boy." We have oodles of cars, trucks, trains. etc. That is pretty much all Benjamin ever wants to play with or talk about. I think adding a little girl to the mix in the Cook household is definitely going to shake things up a bit. And I can hardly wait! I have already been fantasizing about playing barbies again and cooking with an easy bake oven :)
Not that I don't love playing with cars. And we certainly do lots of art activities, reading, etc., but regardless I think it will be a wonderful addition to our already awesome family.

Also, I am officially 20 weeks pregnant today! Half way there!! It is so hard to believe and is completely flying by. We finally pulled out the camera and I had Stephen take my first belly shot of this pregnancy. With Benjamin we diligently took photos every 4 weeks but this time it seemed to just slip by. Think from now on we will try to do a better job of keeping the pregnancy recorded :)
