The BIG Day {Boy or Girl}

Last Thursday we began our weekend with the scheduled gender ultrasound. I was so nervous and excited about finally finding out about our baby. At about 11:15 on August 18 we were in the dark room looking at our baby on the large televison screen in front of us. The tech was measuring the baby to get all the important information down for our Doctor. She asked if we wanted to find out what we were having and we said, YES! In a matter of minutes after her moving my belly around to get the baby to move she typed on the screen....GIRL. I was in shock because I was expecting to hear her say what the baby was, not type it. I had tears streaming down my face and totally forgot to look over at Billy to see his expression. I just knew in my heart it was a girl and finally to have someone tell me it was a girl...and more importantly a healthy baby girl, I was over the moon. Pure perfection. I think Billy was still in shock. :)

After our appointment we had lunch and then drove over to Avondale again to purchase the UGA bloomers I saw a couple weeks ago in one of the stores. We may be having a baby girl but she certainly will be decked out in her Daddys favorite team so they can cheer on the Bulldogs together properly next Fall. :) Next stop was Edgewood Bakery to pick out some cupcakes. I asked them if they could fill the center with some pink icing so when family had a bite, they would see what we were having. They were definitley yummy and we enjoyed them with each set of our parents (the grandparents) who were excited and shocked about our girl news.

They were shocked. Mom had surgery 2 days prior so she wasn't feeling well.

Jordan and Oana were with us on Skype

The day was so special because Billy and I saw our little girl, spent the afternoon by ourselves with our little secret dreaming about the future and preparing to share the news with family. I'm so thankful God chose us to be parents and we already love our baby girl SO much! Today I'm 19.6 weeks and about 2 days shy of my mid-pregnancy. I don't want to rush the coming months, there is a lot going on with the Fall and Holidays on the horizon but sure do count down the weeks until January is here!
