Week 20

Dear Baby,

You are a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't believe just how excited I am to find out! You are also stubborn like your mamma. We got a few pictures of you, but none that showed that you are a girl. We did get to see it on screen, though. When the technician told us, I smiled and looked at your daddy. He said that he knew you were a girl, he was just waiting for confirmation. He was happy you are healthy and I was ecstatic that you are a girl. Now I can shop to my heart's content! The first thing that I bought you after I knew for sure, was a hot pink and black tutu. It will look so cute on you at your first photo shoot. I plan on having lots of pictures taken of you. With all of my breakouts on my skin, I'm sure you will be supremely beautiful since you stole it all from me! lol ;)

We found out you were a girl on Oct 24th in the afternoon. We went to get an "It's a Girl" balloon to take home. After we stopped by the nursing home to tell an anxious Granny, we headed towards home. Granny was soooo excited by the way. When we got to my mom's house, we tied the balloon to Pixie's collar and let her in the house. It was so cute! I have a pic that I'll have to get off your daddy's phone. Here is a photo of you and I at 20 weeks and a couple of days.

 

I need to scan your ultrasound pics onto the computer. After I do that, I will try to update this post. I wanted to go ahead and post this, because I don't want to forget anything. This ultrasound was so cool because I got to see you move around for the first time! My last ultrasound was at 6 weeks, so you didn't really look very much like a baby. You moved your little hands around and you hold your arms in a position above your head much like your mommy does when she's sleeping! You had your legs crossed Indian style for most of our visit. The technician poked and prodded trying to get you to move around. You mostly kicked at her. It was amazing to see you!

Here is the pic of Pixie.

Love,
Mommy
