O. M. G.

It's a GIRL. A little girl that will wear bows, ruffles, Mary Jane's, and lots of PINK. A little girl that will play with dolls, lip gloss, and princesses. A girl.

We had our ultrasound this morning. Let me back up and tell you about my fun-filled day!!

Eric, my sweet Mom and I headed out for the doctor's office at 9am. (I had dreams last night that I was having a girl and Brad & Angelina called me to see if they could babysit...WEIRD.) They called me back, got me situated and then we got to look on the screen and see my sweet little baby! The tech took pictures of the head, brain, heart, kidneys, stomach, arms, feet and then, she asked if we wanted to know the sex. YES! She said "it's a girl" and I thought I was going to have a heart attack!! My head started to spin and I was in SHOCK! I really thought we were having another boy. My mom started to cry and got up to get a tissue. :) Eric said "Are you sure??" He said he wanted another boy, but I'm pretty sure this little girl will have him wrapped around her little pinky!!

After the ultrasound, I met with Dr. Wright and he went over the pictures with me. I have a condition called "marginal placenta previa" which I understand to be somewhat common. I have to go back in six weeks for another ultrasound. I won't go into all the details, but worst case scenario is that I'll have to have a C-section. Dr. Wright felt sure that this will go away and I'll be able to deliver normally, though!

So, it's a girl. Next? Shopping with my Mom to buy something pink!! I saw a cute little outfit that Levi will bring to give to the baby at the hospital. It's a "newborn" size, but still looks huge!
Mom and I spent the day shopping and finishing up last minute things for Christmas. We had a really fun day together! I think she's happy to be getting another girl. Although, I'm sure a little boy would be loved just as much!! For dinner, Eric, Levi and I headed to Kansai to celebrate the news of our baby girl. We had a really great time and the food, as always, was incredible!!

Oh yeah, Buzz Lightyear joined us, too...

We ended our evening by heading to Charlestown to see the Christmas lights! So much fun. Levi loved them!!

This was such a fun day and right now, I'm simply soaking up the wonderful feeling of seeing my baby girl moving all around. I am so thankful for God's many blessings in my life. He has given me a wonderful husband, a brilliant and loving little boy to take care of, and now has placed this little life in me so that I can nurture and love it. No matter what, I know God has us in His hand and that is right where I want to be.
