Ladies Doing Lady Things

This is my Abby Girl.
She's 15 months old and already seems like a little lady to me.
Abby and I get to spend every Tuesday and Thursday with each other.
Just us ladies while Bodie is spending his time at Casa de Laura brushing up on his espanol.
I never thought I'd have a daughter.
I always pictured myself with a house full of boys cooking for them and all their buddies.
We didn't find out if Abby was a boy or a girl until the day she came into this world.
I knew with all of my heart she was a boy.
We had a boy named picked out. We had boy clothes hung nicely in the closet. We had blue blankets and football burp cloths folded neatly for her.
December 12th came and the doctor held her up. "What is it," the doctor asked as she held Abby up and turned her towards us.
"It's a......it's a......girl," Bacho and I both said.
I couldn't quite wrap my head around her being a girl.
We dressed her in the one pink outfit we had just in case we were wrong.
We purchased pink blankets and flowered burp cloths.
We educated ourselves about the world of bows and headbands and flowers.
This sweet little lady has become my Abby Girl and I can't imagine life without her.
I love our Tuesdays and Thursdays together being ladies.
She was a surprise.....a very good surprise.

I love that Abby girls smile. I put a picture of her on my work computer and every time it pops up someone laughs because you cannot look at her and not be happy. You are so lucky with a boy and a girl. Always give your self girl time it is the prize for dishes and laundry. Love you

We love that Abby Girl too... She is so sweet - I can't wait for Em to get a little older so they can play together.

I think I'm definitely more of a "boy mom" which is funny because I grew up with mostly sisters. But I love that I get the chance to experience girl time with my one daughter. It's a treat! Enjoy every minute!

Everytime I look at Abby, I think of you when you were just little with those humongous dark beautiful eyes and the oh so cute smile. Enjoy that sweet girl!
