Oh my gosh, you know the weeks fly by and yet again I am the the laziest blog writer ever. We have a whole mother load of pictures and stories (thanks to my father-in-law’s 2nd visit to Seoul and my parents visit as well). But, before all of that–which is coming soon….I hope…..I have an important announcement.
We found out a couple of weeks ago that we are officially having a girl! “Officially” meaning in the doctor-visit-before-last my friend and I were able to convince the doctor to tell me the sex of the baby since I wasn’t a Korean national. He tried and tried and couldn’t get a clear look but said that he thought it might be a girl. This last visit the doctor was for sure it was a girl and promptly told me to get pink ready.
And you know what? I am actually excited about having another girl. I warned Daniel that there will be a lot of estrogen floating around our house, but he was excited anyway. I’ll ask him again when they’re teenagers…
And, to give you a little sneak preview of what’s to come (and some hope that we will be posting again shortly…)
These two were taken on Jeju Island. I am thinking Maya was impersonating the 돌 하루방 (the lava stone grandfather statue that Jeju is famous for in the first photo.

Well, congratulations! That’s really exciting! It will be nice for Maya to have a little friend (but, yeah…good luck when they’re teenagers)!
And Maya looks really cute in those pictures! I’m looking forward to some more blog posts soon!

So I’m finally checking your blog and reading this news that I already discovered by chatting with you. But still, congrats again! Bring out the bunkbeds right, okay not for a while… Anyway, I’m glad you’re so excited about having another girl. 🙂

YAY for GIRLS! Sorry I’m a little late on the congrats but we are so excited Maya’s going to have a lil’ sis. How are you feeling? Are you getting so excited to come home soon? When is the official due date and when are you officially back in the US? I hope the flight home goes well for yall. You’ll have to tell me the tricks since we’ll probably be flying to Korea when Shelby is 3 and maybe even with a newborn baby if we’re brave enough! No I’m not making any announcements, I’m just trying to think about having a 2nd BEFORE we go to KOrea. I figure better to have the 2nd here in Canada where i’m a little closer to home. Anyhoo–We are soo HAPPY for yall and can’t wait to see more posts!
BTW–I just LOVE the first pic of Maya, she is just soo darn cute and funny! What a classic face!
