ITS A GIRL!!!!

So its definitely been a whirl wind of excitement the past couple weeks. We went on February 19th to get the sonogram to find out the sex of the baby. Both Michael and I were pretty convinced it is boy because I haven't been sick, and really have had an amazing pregnancy. Once we were in there, the tech measured her head, bones, and her big belly. Everything was measuring either right on the date or a few days ahead of schedule (no real surprise). She said the baby looked really healthy, but don't be surprised if she's a bigger baby when she arrives (again, no real surprise...see my husband!). She kept saying she already saw "it", but wanted us to see it before she says anything. At this point, Michael and I didn't have any idea what we were looking at. The baby had its legs tucked up and crossed, so you couldn't see between the legs. I kept looking for the slightest sign of a penis, because again, thats what I was anticipating. I told the tech I wasn't leaving the room until we figured out the sex - it was serious! haha. She kept shaking my belly to have its legs open up some, but it was all curled up and tucked. After a few minutes, I finally said...ok, can you just tell us if you saw a penis?? She immediately said "no". I screamed "WHAT!?!? Are you serious???" She said yes. I was just in total shock and couldn't believe it. I think I was the only excited one in the room at the time. Michael was like a sad puppy, and pretty speechless. Just what he needs...another female in the house!!! LOL

Once she said she was a girl, she opened up her legs and we were able to get a few pictures confirming that she is DEFINITELY female.






I am just so excited, and can't believe we're having a baby. Its becoming so real now!

Last weekend, Michael and I went to Babies R US and bought the crib mattress (OMG), and then we also went to BJ's and bought our first box of diapers (OMG!!). Soo insane! I'm going to be a MOM!!! This weekend, we are going to order the crib - yea!!

The last couple of days I've really "popped" too. I look and feel a lot more pregnant than before. She even kicked me on the couch the other night...she's my little alien! haha.

AND...I think Michael and I decided on a name, but we haven't revealed it yet to everyone yet. I want to make sure we don't change our mind or come up with a different name before we let everyone know. I think we are pretty set though, but we'll see.

We are soo excited!! And I think Michael is coming around a little more each day. We aren't going to go too crazy on the pink, but she will wear dresses, put bows in her hair, and have cute shoes. He was forewarned!!

A big thanks to all our friends and family for the love and support during the past 20 weeks! We are just soo excited!!
