Ball Cap or Bows?

Our Sweet Blessing,
After much waiting and anticipation, we finally got to know if you will be a girl or a boy.  So many friends and family came to celebrate with us.  It was such a blessing to see how many people love this Billman family of 3 and know that we are being covered in their prayers. 
Since your Mommy has a sweet tooth, we had cupcakes that were filled with colored icing.  The color told us if we would be buying dresses or bow ties.  On top of the cupcakes where little bows, some pink and some blue.  This was for our sweet family and friends to try to guess which one you would be.  We also had pink and blue straws to go in everyone's drink to show their guesses. 
 
Then came the best part; your daddy prayed with everyone.  It was a wonderful moment to see your Daddy lead both of us well.  Then for the surprise of whether you were a boy or a girl.  As they bit into the cupcake, they found that you are ... A GIRL!  There was pink icing in each cupcake.  Everyone was so excited to finally be able to say "she" when talking about you. 
We were asked if we had picked a name for you but your Daddy and I wanted a chance to talk about it first.  After much thought and many lists, we came up with your name: Landry Katherine Billman.  Your middle name is after two women in our family, your Aunt Katie and your great grandmother Catherine Christopherson.  Both women love the Lord and love you very much!  You have 3 great grandmothers that can't wait to see you in April. 
And we have two more babies that will be coming around the same time that you will.



The day was a blast!  We are so blessed by so many friends and family.  I can't wait for you to meet all of them. 
We love you, Landry, and can't wait to hold you in our arms!
