Girly Soso!

When I first found out that I was pregnant, I wanted to have a boy. The reason why I wanted to have a boy was because I have an older brother and I always thought that it's better to have the older sibling to be a man so he can protect the younger ones. We were 90% sure I was going to have a boy because Brent's grandparents had two boys, Brent's uncle had two boys, Brent's parents had two boys, and so on. We thought the Mitchells were destined to only have boys. Even after the ultrasound showed us I was going to have a girl, I was still skeptical thinking "maybe they made a mistake, and I am really going to have a boy!" Ha! Turned out, I really had a little girl and I am not just saying this because I had a girl, but having a girl was the perfect fit for our family. My husband grew up with boys so it is really fun to see him interacting with Sophia. Last week he came home saying that he went to the mall with Sophia and she tried on a whole bunch of shoes and he goes, "there were so many cute shoes." I never thought I would hear my sports-addict husband say that he went to the mall and saw so many cute shoes! :) I love that he is not afraid to be the father of a little girl. Fortunately, for Brent's sake Sophia also loves to play basketball, run outside and wrestle! We are so blessed to have Sophia...just the way she is. She makes our life full of fun and laughter! :)
