It's a Girl!!!

So during our appointment everything looked great....our little girl was measuring a few days ahead and no evidence of anything to worry about...but, she was already acting like a little lady with her legs crossed, not wanting anyone to check in between them. It took the Ultrasound Tech and Doctor a few tries to get her to move into a position where they could get a peek. We told her that she had to cooperate because everyone was coming over to share the big news!!!

Kyle and I had been thinking boy the whole time, but on the way home, the envelope just seemed to be screaming pink, but we didn't look!


We dropped the envelope by the bakery and while walking out, the lady ran out and said, here, we already looked, we don't want to get buttercream all over it, and handed me back the envelope. What torture, it sat on our fireplace mantle all afternoon until we cut into the cake.


Our wonderful family started showing up throughout the afternoon. I fixed the little kids dinner, and they watched Nemo while the adults ate their dinner, except for little Natalie, she was looking for the cake that had been brought in earlier!


After some clean-up it was finally time for the cake!!! With an overwhelming vote for blue, the three that voted pink won out. Dad was right, like he always is, he seemed to know it was a little girl!

Check back often to updates along the way, we can't wait to meet this little girl and introduce her to everyone who made Kyle and I who we are!

Routine Visit

We had our montly routine visit yesterday and heard the heartbeat on the doppler for the first time! The Dr. seems to think it is a boy because the heartbeat was so strong. What an amazing confirmation that the baby is still in there and alive. I still am not feeling "it" move, the Dr. says that it could be any day now or up to 3 weeks until I can feel it.

We did schedule our "big" ultrasound though, we are going to find out if this is a pink or blue baby on February 24th!!! I've already scheduled a dinner with both families that evening. After the appointment, I am going to bring the sealed envelope over to a local bakery and have them frost a cake with either pink or blue and then cover it with white icing so we can not see what color it is. After dinner we will all cut into it and discover if we're having a boy or girl!!! We can't wait!
