Just in case you missed it yesterday on twitter, we are having a girl! We are thrilled and maybe a little scared to venture into this completely different world. I guess she wasn't in the mood for pictures when the tech captured this shot :).
Modest and beautiful, just like her momma.
And raising a sweet baby girl will be a joy!
You know you are going to love every minute – and those boys will spoil their baby sister!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That pic is so cute :) Girls are so much fun….you will love it until they get to be teenagers ; D I have 2

Holly, So thrilled for you and the family. The first photo is great. What an amazing thing technology is! Just wanted to encourage you with the “girl” thing. You guys will enjoy and be blessed. It is a different thing to raise a girl but there are common denominators with raising kids in general. Love, leadership, guidance, nurturing, discipline are the common ones just to name a few. The uncommon ones are the nail polish parties, the hairbows, the mood swings (when they get a little older), the date watch (scary thing when a young man comes to take her out), the dress code, and the lessons of becoming a woman (physically and emotionally).
All in all raising a boy or girl is a challenge and a joy. You are blessed to experience both. Remember that you have others who have journeyed on ahead so don’t be shy to call!
Love you, so proud of you, overjoyed for the latest chapter in your life!

Congrats! This gives me further hope I just might get a girl after two boys :) I LOVE having boys but an ally might be nice one day!

Yes! You get to buy shoes & bows to match every outfit:) You should probably consider arranging her marriage. We’re thinking Pastor Steven & the boys won’t allow her to date! Congratulations!

Congratulations!! Super excited for you! She will love Jesus and be the most fashionable girl in town :).
P.S. We are having a girl, too. Now we will have boys and girls that are the same age :)

I am so excited! Yay for a Furtick girl! I myself thought I wanted all girls, but have THOROUGHLY enjoyed raising three girls thus far; it is just so much fun to shop for them:) And you know it would seem weird if your sons called you every day when they are grown, but totally normal when your girl does. So awesome you get both!

Congratulations! What exciting news! You’re an awesome mom, and this baby girl will be blessed to have you as her mother also. :)

Holly I’m so happy for you! You definitely need a girl in the family. It’s very different after having 2 boys but so wonderful that you can get your girly-ness fix now! Congrats!
