We went to the doctor yesterday and found out our little one is a
baby girl!!! We are so excited and thrilled. We were also both in shock and surprised. My husband was convinced it was a boy and therefore he had me convinced as well. I just always knew I would have a boy first. It's so funny how you think one way and you just know your right and then its the opposite. As soon as the ultrasound tech put the wand on my stomach she immediately said its a girl. I couldn't believe it. I wish i would have had a video of our reactions. It was such a surreal experience and makes this pregnancy seem so much more real now. My baby is no longer "the baby" or "he/she" or "him/her" or 'it" or "baby s" my baby is now a SHE.......a precious little baby girl. We didn't get the best pictures of her yesterday because I guess she was moving around and now that shes bigger you can just see one little part of her at a time. Everything looked good and I was so thankful for a great appointment and a healthy baby. I was so anxious and nervous yesterday and as soon as I saw my sweet baby on that screen all those fears were taken away. We are still in awe that we are going to be parents of a sweet little girl. We can't wait to meet her and dress her up and put bows in her hair. I have been looking at girl stuff all day. It is so much fun and there is SO MUCH cute stuff!! We had fun calling all of our friends and family and letting them know our news. I think everyone was surprised because most people thought it was going to be a boy.
We have had our baby names picked out since we have been married. We both love old traditional family names. I like names that have a special meaning to me and to Todd.
She shall be called.......
MARY KATHRYN
She is named after my mom and grandmother. My moms name and my Nana's name is Kathryn. The Mary comes from my great aunt Mary Marshall who I am semi names after. My middle name is Marshall. We will call her Mary Kathryn. I have always always loved this name and I am so excited about naming my little girl. Last night I barely slept because I was so giddy about having a little girl and finally knowing who my baby was in there. Oh and I am officially 19 weeks today. I will do a 19 week post tomorrow maybe and a few sneak peeks of what we are thinking nursery wise. :) Who knew picking out bedding would be so difficult, but I think we have finally agreed on something.
A few sneak peeks of our little girl....
Gifts from her grandmothers. She is already going to be spoiled rotten. This is very dangerous. haha.
My mom got MK her first pair of shoes. Are they not the cutest thing ever? I could just squeal with excitement!! She also bought her an outfit and the picture frame above. Todd's mom got us a little basket with a few goodies. We are blessed to have such wonderful parents and for MK to have wonderful grandparents.
