AJ

I wanted to wait. 
If I did not get to wait to find out
I wanted to wait to post 
We all know that I cannot keep my mouth shut
That I am bound to let anyone who asks
know the gender and name of our first child

Originally, I did not even want to know myself
I wanted to learn there in the delivery room
With my husband standing by my side 
Holding my hand 
Tearing up as our little was placed in my arms

I am glad that we did not wait
That I get to plan ahead
That we have the chance to use their name 
when we feel them moving inside my belly

I hoped, though, that we could put this off
Posting everything online
Having everyone know
Insisting that they knew themselves

I guess this is the way it's going to be
My family are too excited 
They can't keep from posting 
and tagging 
and bragging
I love them
But you see why I have such a big mouth! 

This fall, PJ and I are expecting a little girl. 
We are so excited and cannot wait to meet her. 
Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. 
Thank you for the ways you want to love on us 
and our growing family. 

As a precaution, I am not going to post her full name anywhere, but I am calling her AJ. I still cannot wait to share pictures with you all!
