Since it looks like we'll be heading into uncharted territory this fall. We had our first sonogram today and got a few surprises.
Love the cute nose!
Good new is the baby is healthy (Yeah!), which is most important. However, they think our due date is now three weeks earlier than before (10/18 vs. 11/3) which messes a little bit with "The Plan" :-) But I'm not going to sweat it since all my boys have been late (some as much as 10 days), and like I said before my "plans" are seldom as dependable as Excel but I like to have them anyway.
Sucking thumb and moving and grooving the whole time.
Biggest news is......It's a GIRL! That's a BIG surprise and will require some serious planning; like finding clothes, though I've always liked blue maybe she'll look good in it. I have tubs and tubs of blue boy stuff. Oh and Chris reminded me, one wedding gown I've been saving for years. So that will have to be a start :-) Long term it will mean loosing our playroom back to a bedroom but considering my two year old still sleeps in our room, that's years in the future. Hardest part will be finding a name, we've never really spent a lot of time looking at girl names and we had a boy name picked out (Henry) but I just don't have the heart to call the poor girl "Henrietta", so we'll have to start from scratch.
Let's just say I was pretty convinced that this was a girl ;) I know that has no bearing on your reality, but it's still fun none the less!! I know this will be a major change in so many ways, but as you will soon find out, having a little girl is... WONDERFUL! Having a girl when we did was certainly a taste of God's grace for me. I believe she will be grace for you too! Plus, there are TONS of girls clothes and supplies that people will lavish on you. I have boxes full for you to have if you want. Much love and joy!!
