IT'S A GIRL!

So this week has been quite the exciting one. Tim and I went to our first ultrasound on Friday. The night before you could just seem the anticipation written all over Tim and my faces. We were so anxious to get to bed and have time pass quickly. Unfortunately, waiting for this appointment was worst than Christmas. Niether of us slept much. We were just too excited/anxious to see our baby. The morning came very early and we were off to the hospital. I think I did a good job of covering up my nerves but inside I felt like I was going crazy. Tim and I sat in the waiting room discussing weather we thought the baby was a boy or girl. Tim had a dream that he had a wonderfully smart and well rounded daughter so that lead him to be pretty well convinced that it was a girl. I was unsure. I came up with all kinds of wives tales about what it could be. I am carrying pretty much all out front which of course means girl and girls steal their mothers beauty apparently which had to explain the acne... right?!?! But then at the same time... I started to show earlier than expected and Tim hasn't gained sympathy weight which means it has to be a boy. It cracks me up that people believe those things.

Finally it was our turn to go back. Our ultrasound tech was wonderful. She seemed to be very thorough. I would say she took pictures and measured all kinds of things for 45 minutes to almost an hour. One of the requirements for the ultrasound was drinking a ton of water before hand. I some how managed to hold down the 30oz and still allowed her to press on my stomach for a good while before I finally broke and had to relieve myself in the middle of our ultrasound. How embarrassing but completely normal I am sure. The entire ultrasound I kept getting this weird feeling about things. I couldn't believe that this thing with heart beat, brain, kidneys, fingers, toes and little nose was actually inside of me. It kind of freaked me out a bit... quite a reality check. At one point I looked at Tim and his joy of seeing his child move its arm and hand totally calmed me down and helped me stop freaking out. After showing Tim and I our quite calm and (in my biased opinion) cute child it was time to take a closer look at the physical features to find out what we were having. The tech spent some time trying to get the baby to move and uncross its legs and finally determined chances are good that our modest and very calm child is a GIRL! I sure hope her modesty and quietness sticks around after birth.

BABY GIRL WEAVER!

I expected Tim to want a boy but I was wrong... he couldn't be more excited to be having a little girl. I feel so lucky to have a husband who wants to be so involved. We both have had this itch to go baby shopping. We went to target yesterday after church and kind of became disappointed and discouraged after a long afternoon of trying to register but not finding what we want. That doesn't mean we didn't shop though. Tim and I ordered our bedding last evening off of ebay. Neither one of us are really big on characters or common child themes so we went for a more antique look which fits our personalities and styles well. I am so excited to get started and get things ready for our little girl. Sometime tells me she might be a little spoiled rotten.

The bedding we ordered. The 9 piece set inclues the toy bag, diaper sack,  throw pillow, bed skirt, sheet, quilt, bumper, and two window valances.

Notice there is pink (I know a shock coming from  me the worlds biggest pink hater)... but not too much of it thank goodness. 

We have decided to keep one thing a secret for the rest of the pregnancy. We are not telling the name we have chosen. Many people have asked and many will continue. I will fill you in on one clue... Weaver will definitely be her last name. No more clues until the baby girl is here. Don't bother trying to get us to give in... it won't happen.

Pregger pictures will come later this week.
