Brace Yourself...

Yup....we are actually having a girl! Cindy and I went to my 20 week appointment (Josh had a court appearance) and as we were chatting to the tech, explaining how we found out last appointment it was a boy, how we've narrowed down names, etc, she says, "Well....I'm not really seeing anything (you know between the legs)....I'm going to say your baby is a girl!" She got a clear view from 3 different angles and our baby is definitely a girl! I was in quite a bit of shock, but of course we are excited, most of all because our beautiful baby is healthy, strong, and developing properly! Best news ever and I will never get tired of hearing it. As the tech checked the heart, the spine, both arms, and legs, she would say things like, "beautiful spine" and "perfect arms," and I kept thinking (like the sap that I am now), "They are, they really are!" It was so exciting to see her toes and fingers....I could go on forever, but I'll spare you.

After the appointment Cindy, Tyler (did I mention he had school off and had to come too! He actually did very well, but I earned some serious daughter points for this one!), and I headed to Ruby's at the mall for a breakfast celebration. We ran a few quick errands in the mall, and took a peek at all of the adorbale tiny girl things in a few different stores. (Don't worry hubby of mine...I didn't buy any clothes yet!).

So, I guess instead off legos and star wars we will have ruffles, bows, and princesses! Here's so hoping our little girl really is full of sugar and spice and everything nice (the other two girls in thise household are lack in the everything nice department!).
