Its a Girl!!!

21 Weeks Its a Girl! The excitement cannot be contained! When the ultrasound tech told us for sure I got so emotional that my mascara ran into my eye and I could hardly watch the rest of the ultrasound :) And to my excitement at week 17 she announced herself by doing some gymnastics that I could no longer mistake for gas! She gets the hiccups all the time which I secretly love, a thumbsucker like I was, and she loves to snuggle right on top of my bladder. This pregnancy finally feels like its real! And I already love her so much! So much that Ive forgotten my 4 1/2 months of misery. Its been so fun to see Blakes excitement. after 2 years of stifling excitement weve busted out and already bought a few things and tackled some furniture projects.

And I almost forgot, Blake had an ingenious and completely hilarious way to announce the gender to our parents, (or as my mom said "its sexual orientation" lol). We filled two Sobe bottles with jello and let it harden. Our parents had to dig through the jello to find the paper at the bottom that they thought had the answer! When they finally reached the bottom (by using knives and banging it on the sink for 30 min) it was an invitation to our house. Upon arrival we had an ice cream cake and balloons saying Its a Girl! With all the ruckus we caused youd have thought we had already had her home with us :)

For now though, I enjoy everyday that I have her all to myself.
