She's a girl!!!!!!!!

Well we had our 2nd ultrasound on Monday, Sept 21st and there is no doubt that our little one is a girl. This ultrasound tech was SOOOO much better than the first one, she got us more pictures of our little princess and assured us 100% that Avonlea is in fact a girl. We are so excited!!!!! I have attached a picture of Avonlea from the latest ultrasound, I love her little nose!!!! Can't wait to meet her!!!

Updates...

Well I just realized that I never updated the blog about the u/s results....well, we were told by the ultrasound tech that "She could not guarantee us that the baby is a girl, but she could guarantee us that it's not a boy", what does that mean!?! We also got to watch the baby moving around a bit and got about 10 pictures to take home. When we talked to the doctor afterward she said that the u/s tech is not a good one, and that there were a few things they were not able to get measurements of during the u/s. So we have another u/s scheduled for this coming Monday, September 21st. We are very excited to be able to see the baby again and hopefully get a "confirmation" on the gender. We have already gotten quite a few little outfits from Mom and Mom D, not to mention we found a baby book and a "coming home" outfit for a girl. We are really excited and hoping it is a girl since that is what we were told, but I have kept the tags/receipts for everything "just in case". Oh well, hopefully we will know more after the u/s on Monday!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!

Well........TODAY IS THE DAY!!!! We have our u/s at 2pm today....right now it is 5:48am and I could not sleep LOL. We had a great day yesterday, we finally got the furniture that I posted about last post. It is beautiful!!! N and I stayed up until after midnight assembling the crib and getting the room straight, tonight we are having everyone over to announce the gender of baby!!! My biggest fear is that baby won't cooperate and that we won't be able to tell if it's a boy or a girl, but I am trying not to dwell on it :) I am just excited to finally be able to watch baby move and see how big it has grown!!! Oh well, just wanted to post an update!!!

Monday......

Well, today started out great for me....I was really excited when I woke up about going to lunch with Tori, and looking forward to going to look at/pickup the nursery furniture we found on Craigslist. Later after an awesome lunch with Tori, I come home to find that the lady's husband didn't get the furniture out of the attic, so she wants us to come on Thursday evening instead.....and THEN says that there is another family coming to look at the furniture on Thursday as well. I'm so mad! What if they go before we get there and they buy it?? I will be so upset!!!!! Especially since I wanted to go get it today and she made no mention of this other family earlier. *Sigh*

Looking pregnant......

Well for the last week or so I think I have started looking much more "pregnant". I am 17wk4days (the photo attached is from my 17wks), and now when I go places people comment about me being pregnant. N and I just went to lunch and the waitress said "Are you pregnant?" I told her yes I was and we talked for a few minutes about that. All I could think was "Well atleast I 'look pregnant' now!!"....also, I guess it's a good thing I really AM pregnant, otherwise...WHAT AN INSULT!!!!! hehehe. Oh well, we find out on Sept 4th if we are having a boy or a girl, I will be exactly 20wks that day. That evening we have invited all of our family over for a dinner to announce what we are having!!! I can hardly wait :)

Blah......

Well this was a busy weekend, we had a cookout on Saturday for Mom's and Uncle T's bday, and Sunday we had a rerun of the cookout, then went to Mom D's for dinner and games with N's family. Today N and I worked in the yard doing some much needed yard work, cleaned our patio set, picked some tomatoes out of the garden, etc. Then we had frozen (yes we cooked it!) pizza for lunch, watched "Hook" and took a nap. When we woke up we went with Mom and Dad to Baby's 'R Us to buy my boss's shower gift, then went to Paradocks for dinner. We decided that we will be registering at Baby's 'R Us. They have SOOO much cute stuff!!! Can't wait to know what gender we will be registering for!!!

As for me, I have felt very "Full" today (for lack of a better word). I am 15wks4days and just feel like I ate alot and sometimes that I really have to go to the bathroom and then when I get in there realize I didn't have to go as much as I thought!!! Sorry if TMI!! :P

Chrissy- only about 8 days left!!!!!!

So stoked!!!!

I am so excited. I was very lucky a few months ago and was given a brand new Graco Snugride Infant Carseat. I was thrilled.....until I found out that you cannot buy the matching stroller for the travel system. I did find out that Graco has a "frame-like" stroller that is made specifically for the infant carseats, where you just snap it in and go. WELLLL.....today I was returning home from running errands and around the corner from me was a Graco "frame" stroller on the curb!!!! I parked at the house, threw my groceries inside and ran (well not really but walked fast) over to the house to ask if the stroller was for the trash. I knocked on the door and the lady said I was welcome to it, that her brother had lived with them and left it. I looked it over and it's in EXCELLENT condition!!!!!!!!! I was soooooooo thrilled I took it home and tried my carseat in it and it worked PERFECTLY!!!!!!! That saved me about $90!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!
