So I had a mishap with a onesie.
We got this little thing here and it's a little yellow thing, no bigger than a wash cloth. It's cute and I see it has two little buttons around the neck of it.
The more I look at it the more I think..."Man that's going to be a tight fit".
I start to get a little worried about it, thinking "Man you really have to kinda shove the baby into this thing pretty hard here. That's not a very big opening!" as I point at the two little buttons around the neck.
I said to Brittany, "This is going to be tough to fit the baby in here" as I point at the two little buttons around the neck. To which Brittany replies through her laughing "Those buttons are just to get the baby's head through the neck". She then points out to me that there are more buttons at the bottom of the onesie that you open up and slide the thing on over them like a shirt.
How did I know?
But I laughed thinking about the visual of me trying to fold the baby's body up to make it fit through that tiny neck hole.

Where did that come from?
So everyone is excited about that little girl on the way.
It had been like 15 or 16 years since there was a baby in the Polly family. Harper will make #3 in 3 years....all girls. For the Wilburn side of my family I was the last baby, thats 28 years ago. And my Mother was the last girl in the family that's a number of years that I am not allowed to say ago, I got your back mom!
Brittany and I have started CLEANING UP on hand me downs from these little girls in our family. Everyone has been so great and it is much appreciated!!!!!!
Every few days someone will deliver a box or bag of hand me downs, and the other day Brittany and I were going through a bag. It's a mixed bag of all various ages and sizes. There is SO MUCH PINK!!!!
Here is where it get's wierd. As we are going through the bag we would pick up an item look at the age on it and workout in our heads what time of year that would be. Would this little dress be too cold at this time of year and so on. As we are working the date out on one item that is a 12 month piece we thought it might be too cold for it and I said "It's okay we can put a little pair of tights under it."
WHAT!!! What did I just say? Did I really just put together an outfit? I didn't know that word's like this were in my vocabulary.
And I didn't stop there....Where are the booties? What did you do with those bloomers? That's a cute onesie?
What's happening to me!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

What is it????
Whelp!!!!
So it's been a while since I posted. Sorry, I've been busy. Last Friday Brittany and I had our BIG ultrasound and got floored. Please understand that Brittany and I were not pulling one way or the other, I mean let's be honest I think every man has a portion of him deep down inside that wants a boy. I know it's a worn out expression, but all we really cared about was that the baby was healthy and growing.
As Brittany and I got to the hospital my stomach was a wreck, I was waaaayyyyyy to excited.
As we got into the ultrasound room....things got real....real fast! Up to this point I had seen pictures of the baby, I had heard the baby's heartbeat. Understand that those are incredible days, when you hear that heartbeat is amazing. But last Friday, I saw my child's face, I saw it's arms, legs, nose, knees and elbows. I saw those tiny little arms and legs moving around, I was thrilled!
The ultrasound tech asked us if we wanted to know the sex of the baby. Is she for real? Does anyone ever say no to that question?
Brittany and I have almost no experience with children, what experience we do have is with boys. I think because of this we just assumed that we would have a boy. Right about this time the tech says "Here is a really good picture", see this and that and that.....yeah, yeah, yeah.....It's a GIRL!!!!!
All Brittany could say was "WHAT, are you sure?" Then she starts to cry, I almost cried with her.
WE WERE THRILLED!!!!
Never saw it coming, but now it feels right.
So in just a few short months...I will be very very proud to present Harper Grey Polly!
