Today was the big day! We finally found out Tiny’s gender! I warned Tiny before we went in, “This is the only time you will ever hear me say this but, ‘keep your legs open!'” Tiny cooperated and we are pleased to announce that we are having a very healthy baby…
I know, I can’t believe it either! I was 100% convinced that this little baby was a boy! So much for mother’s intuition. I guess that kicks in AFTER the baby is born! I let Mike have his “I told you so” moment, and now I know he will never believe me again for any subsequent children…I wouldn’t either! Anyhow, let’s get past that boy stuff because girl stuff is SO MUCH cuter anyway! Here are some pictures of our daughter:
The entire time we took pictures, she kept putting her hands to her forehead. She is either so very tired or a little drama queen!
Here is a side view. Look at that brain…we have a smarty on our hands! But, she’s a Mike/Jenna creation, so we already knew that! She’s got her knees pulled up, so she is in the fetal position. So cliche, Tiny!
Here is another picture with her hands to her forehead. Call my crazy, but I think she looks like me a little! Look at her nose and mouth! She is BEAUTIFUL! And yes, I realize that sounds a bit conceited right after I told you she looks like me…she is way better looking though :)
Mike and I decided on a name as well, but we are starting to second guess our choice. I wish they just came with name tags…I mean, God knows her name already, but I think He is holding out on us! “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,” right? Help a girl out! To remedy this roadblock, Mike and I have decided to call Tiny by her name for a week or so just to make sure, then we will go public. There is always some kind of hangup we have about each name, but tonight, my mom told me, “the older you get, the more you realize this: name your baby whatever you want. You’re her parents.” And, I know she is right.
So, for now, remember to pray for Tiny, and soon we will give you something else to call her by. We will continue to pray about her name and for her future. But tonight, we are just saying prayers of thanks for a Happy, Healthy, Holy baby!
We are having a girl!!! I love her <3

I am so happy for you, a little girl. Frilly dresses, bows, hair clips, and that christening gown, hope it is Grandma’s dress.
Congratulations, Jenna and Mike! What a blessing!! Thanks for sharing the pictures and your thoughts. I can’t wait to meet your little baby girl!
Happy, Healthy, Holy, Hines. Perfect. I love her.
Be careful what you name her…Remember she’ll be stuck with that name for life…try the name and any possible nicknames that might come out of it…I’ve had friends that chose a name before their child was born, then changed it as soon as they saw the new born…We are SO happy for the two (3) of you…love you, Aunt Conni & Uncle Richard…
She is beautiful….just like her parents!
Oh Jenna and Mike!
Congratulations on “Tinyess!” She is so beautiful! Yes, you will have pleny of bows, tights, dresses, and pretty shoes. And, she’ll run fast, play sports, and be an independent thinker. And, she will be so LOVED by all your family! Congratulations!
God bless, Florence
