Sugar and spice and everything nice - that's what little girls are made of.

We had our ultrasound appointment on Monday and found out we are having a little GIRL! We are over the moon with excitement! Chris felt it was a girl all along, as many of my friends and family did as well. I felt more girl but didn't want to come out and say it because I honestly would have been excited no matter what, although leaving the doctor's office I had overwhelming sense of pride and excitement, I just wanted to break down and cry. I just feel so blessed. I could not wait to call my Mom to tell her about her new Grandaughter. I know she was really hoping for a girl (although she guessed boy). I told the doctor this little one will have a wardrobe by this weekend if it's up to her Grandma!

Aiden went with us to the appointment and he was very intersted in seeing her on the screen. He was a little confused when we were on the way and wanted to know if they were taking the baby out of my tummy. We explained to him that they were putting a camera on my belly and we would be able to see the baby. The doctor even gave him his own picture and he took it to school to show all his friends yesterday. He calls it my baby and everytime we see a commercial for a baby toy on tv he says "we need to get that for my baby", it's so adorable, I just hope it lasts!

Most importatly of course is that she looks healthy, she measures exactly perfect, even the doctor said it's extremely rare for the measurements to match exactly to the due date which they did, so that made me feel good! She weighed 12 oz. on Monday! We saw and heard her heart beating, her little hands looked like they were clapping together, it was super sweet! I wish I could peek in there everyday! I trying to sweet talk Chris into getting a 3D/4D scan done at the end of the month or beginning of next month. I think it would be such a wonderful keepsake for us and eventually for our daughter.

Chris is also excited, when he was bringing me back to work after the appointment, he almost passed the turn into the parking lot and I said "What are you doing?" He said, " Oh, I was thinking about the prom" which I found super cute because my mind had not even begun to go there yet.... prom, wedding, babies....this is going to be an entire different journey than having a boy! I look forward to seeing him interact with her. He is already a wonderful Father and I think having a little Girl is going to allow me to experience a totally different side of him. I just smile thinking about it!

Of course since nothing in our lives goes on with out any drama, I was totally anxious, nervous and excited on Monday. I gave Chris his reminder call about 15 minutes prior to when he was to leave the house to come get me. The plan was for him to get Aiden at school then, get me and then off to the hospital which is where my appt was on Monday and it's near my work. So, I call and he said, "Change of plans, my car won't' start." So, I had to run out of here, run home to get him, which is totally the opposite direction of where we were going, then to get Aiden, then back over this way to the hospital...whew, no wonder my blood pressure was high. Since I didn't want to have to do that all over again I just went home for the day and rested.

I was a little under the weather yesterday which is why I just posted this today. I stayed home from work and rested, there is only so much I can take now so it's no fun getting sick. Luckily I feel much better today but drama never ends....Chris called as I was about to go over to wal-mart at lunch and his car did not start again! He just got a new battery yesterday! So, I had to go back today try to jump his car, it didn't start, so I guess we will have to get a tow truck to come get it.....I vote to just go get a new car instead of putting more money into this one. It's nice that it's paid off but not worth the hassle of dealing with the issues of an older car. I did get a nice unexpected lunch with my hubby out of the ordeal!
