Our Sweet Little Girl

Last Thursday we got to see our little girl twisting and turning, jumping and stretching for the first time!! We went to Fetal Fotos to find out the gender. The ultra sound tech showed us her head, arms, hands, legs, feet and then finally went to see the gender. When she got in the right position to see it she said, "There's baby's labia! It's a girl!" At that moment I couldn't hold back the tears. I was so happy and excited to welcome this sweet little girl to our family. Scott was really happy too. She already has her daddy wrapped around her little finger and she's not even here yet! It was really cool to see her tiny little spine and both hemispheres of her brain. At one point she stuck up her hand and opened and closed her fist like she was waving. It was so cute!! Scott and I are so excited to be her mom and dad and love her like crazy.

My tummy is getting bigger!!

Take a vote

Time is flying by and we get to find out the gender of our baby real soon!

At first I thought it would be a girl then I had a dream that it was a boy so I was totally convinced we were going to have a boy but then a few weeks later I had another dream that it was a girl so now I'm just not really sure what to think!!

Either way I just hope it's healthy and happy.

What do you think it will be?

My baby looks something like this..

The Randoms

1. I love putting a can of Dr Pepper in the freezer for a couple hours and drinking it when it's slushy. Yum!

2. I have an obsession with long hair and beards. If you put long hair and a beard on any guy, he instantly become ten times hotter!

3. Amy and I have a fake name we've used on occasion ever since high school when our "adventures" called for a fake identity.

4. In my younger years, a few of my friends and I jumped into the dam in the late hours of the night only to find a police officer drive up and tell us we could keep juming if we took our shirts! Needless to say, he was a sicko!!

5. I eat about 7 meals a day. I'm not one to eat big meals but I love snacking all day long!

6. Every couple months, I wake up to my husband shaking me saying "wake up, wake up! You're just having a dream." Aparently I have some sort of panic attack during my sleep and last night as he tried to wake me up, I started full on fighting him..pushing, hitting, kicking.. Luckily I woke up and realized it was just a dream and stopped abusing my husband.

7. I have 7 apps on my phone all for the purpose of giving me updates about my baby's growth and development week by week.. and yes, I do read them over and over and over again. I'm a bit obsessed!

8. If I'm not sure how to spell a word, I open a new text on my phone and let my auto correct take over.

9. Every weekend Scott and I pull all the blankets off our bed put them on the floor in front of the fire place and watch a movie. Best night of the week!

10. I love nachos from the gas station!

11. I bought tickets for the Hunger Games movie the day they went on sale! Can't wait for March 24th!

My belly is just barley starting to poke out.

This week, the little one no longer has webbing between it's finger and toes

and it's moving all around now that it's elbows, knees,

wrists and ankles and muscles are developed. I won't be able to feel

the movements for another couple of months.

I am still sick every day..all day!! Hopefully I'll start having more

good days now that I'm towards the end of the first trimester.

Scott and I were able to hear the baby's heartbeat at only 7 1/2 weeks!

It was the most amazing surreal moment I've ever had. We are excited that our

little one is healthy and growing so fast!

Way to go baby!

My Valentine

Valentine's Day was a great success this year! I love having an excuse to do something sweet for my husband to remind him that I love and appreciate him... and I love when he does sweet things for me too! Here are some pictures of our Valentine's Day festivities!

I made Scott a mini cake with his favorite pudding frosting.

and a jar of milk to go with it.

He enjoyed his Valentine treat despite his fake smile.

......

When I came home from work there was a nice steak dinner on the table and

romantic music playing in the background.

If only I could have gotten home 10 minutes earlier I would have come home to the smoke alarm saying "Fire! Fire!" and Scott frantically opening every door and window! haha this was his first time cooking steak this particular way and it got a bit out of hand!

He got me some pretty flowers.

We have a tradition where we write love letters to each other every year

and read them on valentine's day.

Scott is a good sport for letting me make up traditions for us.

Scott is such a good letter writer. His letters are always super funny at first

and then they turn really sweet. He even wrote a little note to the baby that made

me cry! Oh by the way I'm pregnant if you didn't already know...SURPRISE!

Our little one is due September 13th

and we couln't be more excited!
