Sitting Down

I call this post "sitting down" because that's how our our little one will go pee! Eventually, of course, when SHE is potty trained.

Going to sleep last night was like trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve....I couldn't fall asleep at all and as soon as I would, I woke up every couple of hours smiling with excitement peeking at the clock. It was a restless night, but I'm thankful that I made our appointment in the morning. We didn't have to wait too long to discover that our little ball of energy would soon be our little girl.

The alarm went off (although I was already wide awake) and I got up and went to the bathroom. Then it was time to start drinking my 32 ounces of water...WITHOUT peeing! It was tough. The entire way to the doctor I thought I was going to pee my pants. Then I really almost did when the radiologist started pushing on my belly. Luckily, he let me free after a few minutes to relieve myself. After many measurements and numbers and pictures of baby, he finally zoomed in on THE SPOT. Apparently, there it was...or wasn't. We are blessed to say she has all of her limbs, a good size brain, a beating heart, weighs a pound, but not too much wriggle room. She was quite active, actually, and it was hard to get a good glimpse of her profile until the end when I shook her up a bit. She looks cute in there...albeit...cramped. At one point she had her two feet clear up next to her head!! At any rate, we are very excited!

Naturally, I went right over to Target after Thomas went to work. (Well, I called a few people before that:)) I got pretty overwhelmed looking at all the girl stuff and baby stuff and I ended up walking out of there with a little soccer ball and pink socks that say "Daddy's Little Angel". I figure she'll get some use out of both. Now, as many of you know I really love the color pink, so it's fitting that we are having a girl. So..THINK PINK everyone!!! And let's hope that we aren't surprised with a boy upon delivery or he will look really silly dressed in all those pink clothes with cute hair bows!

Love to you all! Keep praying SHE grows well and healthy!
