The Blessing Dress


We tried for a girl. For months I read up on all the old wives tells, all the methods people use and combined everything to try to get a girl this time around. I balanced my pH through diet, Chase balanced HIS pH, we used the Shettles method and everything else we could read. Now we're just waiting to see if all of our hard work paid off! My doctor thinks in might be a girl from her heartbeat, as does the ultrasound tech. Ruark's heartbeat was 110 bpm and this baby is 172bpm. Huge difference. In a few weeks we'll see if it's a boy or girl.


Well at the start of this pregnancy my mom, sisters and I were all looking at flower girl dresses. We buy flower girl dresses for my nieces every year because they are usually the best prices and most beautiful, plus we can get them in every size we need. You can click here to see the dress we picked this year. On all these sites they are co-mingled with all these blessing dresses. So we all kept browsing through these beautiful dresses when I came to this BEAUTIFUL dress called the "bianca". I was in love, until I saw the price $405.00! There is NO WAY I would spend that much. But it was perfect, it was just like my wedding dress, but I quickly killed that idea. Late one night I did some searching trying to see if I could find it on any site for less, finally I searched ebay.


Lost of the dress came up, but it wasn't until I search for it more specifically that I found it!! It was brand new and marked down to $60.00. I bought it! I was so happy with my purchase I called my mom and sent pictures to all my sisters. No one could believe the deal I got! My hopes were crushed when I looked on my paypal and it said I was receiving a refund. I opened the message and was about to start my search again when I read the words, "you probably didn't notice that it was a buy now or best offer sale, I would have accepted $20.00 less. So I am refunding $20.00 to you".


$40.00 for a dress costing over $400?!? I'm so happy! I have had the dress home with me for a few weeks now and it is perfect. I hope this baby is a girl because I can't wait see my gorgeous daughter dressed in this beautiful gown!
