| I had Reub snap a couple pics of me holding the first outfit I bought. Cute little top with jeggings! This one went up on facebook along with my announcement. |
 |
| Yep, I'm still excited! |
 |
| Wow, my feet look so big! LOL (I guess they kinda are at 9.5, thanks to growing along with my pregnancies) |
Baby Girl! Eeeeeeeeee, we are so excited! We had tried to tell the sex of the baby 2 times before this time--the first was a tad too early, the second; the doctor couldn't see a thing...so this time I was 23 weeks along and I was basically about to puke on the way to the clinic from all the nerves and anxiety I had about it. We're pretty sure this is our last baby, so knowing it was my last shot at a girl made it THAT much more of a big deal. The ultrasound tech was pretty nice, but she was teasing me by telling me I should just wait and let it be a surprise.
Pfffffffff, NOT happening. So she goes through all of the stuff (looking at the heart, uterus, c-section scar (crazy) etc etc) and finally starts trying to see what goods this baby's got. She had a pretty hard time seeing anything at first (I was trying not to panic) and she ended up tilting the chair so that my feet were high in the air and my head was down. The baby was positioned so high up (right under my ribs) and was hiding everything! Finally, she got the shot we wanted (I tried to scan it in but it's too dark so I can't post it)! When she told me I just burst into tears; I was so happy happy happy! But poor Jase wanted a baby brother again, so he was a little bummed.
Right after the appointment I made a few important phone calls, then hit up the stores! I was determined to find a little girl outfit, but it was harder than I thought. Everything in the stores right now is super summery (short, gauzy things, no sleeves, etc) and I'm due in Sept...so it's likely it could be just starting to cool off by then. Plus I was looking for newborn size, which is very hard to find! I can't stand big clothes on little babies. I finally found a cute top with a pair of dark jeggings from The Children's Place (see pic) but that was it! Oh well. There'll be plenty more time for shopping!

| Some bedding ideas....just needs a touch of pale pink |
 |
| Love all the textures and prints. Swap blue for pink! |
 |
| Also fell in love with this cake, the color combo, and that elephant! Want! |
I also have this thing stuck in my head about doing gray, white, and touches of pale pink for her bedding, etc. Ironically, we don't really have a room for her. The boys share one bedroom already and Reub and I are in the other. We'd love to do an addition on our home, but making the finances work is proving to be trickier than we thought. We're trying to sell our boat to free up a bit of money, but so far it's been a few weeks and no takers. So I think Plan B is to maybe finish out this balcony that we have coming off of our master bedroom (behind sliding glass doors) and turn that balcony area into a
tiny room. We could take out the sliding glass doors and put in french doors (or just a normal door), extend the balcony out to the exterior wall of the home, and replace the front windows on the house. Probably much more affordable in the meantime than Plan A.
