We're having a......






Did that surprise anyone else? We are absolutely thrilled to have a healthy baby! She is absolutely adorable! Everything measured "normal" on the ultrasound. She weighs about 13 oz. She was very active and was laying with her right hand above her head and her legs parallel with her body. She looks like she has very long legs like her mommy, and I think she may even have my nose! She is measuring ahead of schedule at 20 weeks and 3 days, which puts our due date at 12/27/11.


We revealed the gender to our families last night at a cookout. We had all the parents, grandparents, and siblings together. I baked a pink and blue cake the night before and iced them both with chocolate icing. We put out the pink cake and had our moms cut it to reveal to gender to everyone. Everyone seemed very surprised!

I am most excited about smocking, monograms, ruffles, bows, and all the frills that come along with a little girl! I had a little boy's nursery completely planned, so now I'm having fun looking at toile, damask, and all the little girly nursery things!

I was very surprised at Jordan's reaction to the news during the ultrasound. I looked over at him when she said, "It's a girl!" and he was smiling from ear to ear! She already has daddy wrapped around her tiny finger!

As for the pregnancy, everything is going well! I'm starting to swell a little bit, but the doctor said it's because I'm on my feet more with school starting back. I have gained 18 pounds since the beginning of my pregnancy. Everyone is really enjoying being able to call me fatty. Thankfully, this fatty was blessed with a co-worker's maternity clothes! Yay! Getting dressed will not be as stressful!
