Hello Baby Girl!

I'm going to have a mini me! Which means a baby girl!

I called my Dad to tell him, but he already knew weeks before our conversation kinda went like this:

Me: Next appointment. we find out what we are having.

Dad: oh you are? I already know what you are having

Me *shocked*: you do? How?

Dad: I just know, how many girls does James's family have?

Me: none, maybe two.

Dad: see. There you go!

How did he know? Sometimes he forgets where he puts his sunglasses when they're already on his head. How did everyone know?? I kept a open mind and secretly tried not to favor one choice over the other...

Our sonogram technician was a little kooky. He was toying with us! He started the ultrasound by saying "here's 'his' leg" so I said "it's aboy?!?" he said "no." (what?? Why say that?!?) that he was being gender unbias or something that made me mad because he confused me. He pointed out baby's head, feet, bones, and missing boy parts. Our baby now has a skeleton! Our first ultrasounds, baby was a bunch of mush.Seeing the spine was pretty amazing. She was also moving around A LOT. I said that to the Dr and she said because there is alot of fluid I won't feel it too much, but in a few months I will. Watching her move made me more relaxed, I know she's in there!

For a few hours after hearing "it's a girl" the world slowed down. We had pizza at California Pizza Kitchen, the place was clamouring with lunch talk, all I could hear was the music....I guess I was kind of dazed, mostly in 'awe'

James sent out a multiple text to all his friends "Girls just want to have fun!" His mom replied "yay just what I wanted!" She'll be the first girl grand baby for his side which has two baby boys. I texted everyone I could think of, called my grandma who said she thought I was going to have a boy & told me to be careful walking up/down stairs.

After lunch we browsed around different stores, checked out the pottery barn for kids. James saw a crib mobile and asked if we could have a soccer mobile. I said "ok", then he turned it on, it played music, then I started to cry. He held me in the middle of the store til I stopped. I think the reason I broke down is because I imagined our teeny baby sleeping. It's hard not to be emotional, I enjoy it, I think it may scare James alittle...a grown girl, crying in public for no REAL reason...oh well!

We found a multi colored corduroy dress with flowers and a white cardigan with a owl patch at Gymboree. Zero to three months. It's going to be her "debut" dress! James tried to hang the new outfit in the closet but the hangers were too big. He bent a wire hanger, hung up the outfit on the wall and said "I made a baby hanger" haha it was adorable. I guess that's something I need to write down for the baby shower "baby hangers"

I told James, "I hope she looks like me!!" James said "I'd make a pretty girl, I have nice lashes"

lol.
