When my parents were here a few weeks ago, I had a doctors appointment. It was supposed to be a normal check-up, but for various reasons, my doctor wanted to give me an ultrasound. Of course this is what we had secretly hoped for since I was getting SO impatient about getting the final boy confirmation. Well..we were looking at the screen during the ultrasound and my actual doctor said, "Oh! Well look at that!" (Referring to what she AND we saw and thought to be the key indication of a little boy) The ultrasound tech immediately was like, "No no no that's the cord, there's nothing there." Umm..HUH? Daniel and I both looked at each other in shock as I said outloud, "IT'S A GIRL?!?" She was absolutely positive. We asked her several times if she was sure..but there was no doubt!
*Clarification--OF COURSE we are SO excited for our little girl. I don't know why we were so set on a little boy--probably simply because we wanted to have the first grandson on my side ;) Girls are so sweet though and after a few days of the news sinking in (how awful) we were officially SUPER excited about meeting our little sweetheart!
Since then, I have bought 5 outfits, and ordered a pink little tutu this morning for newborn pictures :) I plan on attempting to make some hair bows here in the near future! I will say that girl names are SO hard though. We were all set on a name for a little boy, but after going back and forth for the past 3 weeks, I think we will take a break on picking out our little girls name for a while. Maybe it will come to me in a dream or something. Haha, I wish!
Before we even left the Dr.'s office, Daniel said, "Is it weird that I already feel protective of her?" :) He's going to be so wrapped around her little finger. Love it.
Bring on the ribbons and bows! We love our little princess so much already.
Amazon.com is the best place to buy little girl headbands that I have found if you decide you don't want to make them. I got 12 for 20 dollars. And they even have them in a smaller size if you don't want the flower as big as the baby's head. (I didn't know how big a large was when I bought them). Congratulations on the girl. I never knew I would love having a girl so much! They are so sweet and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteomgosh I know exactly how you feel! I was stuck on boy the whole time! It's not that you're disappointed it's a girl, but you just spent all these months planning boy names, boy clothes, boy room, etc. It takes a little while for you to switch gears! But now it's so much fun! Buying girl stuff is dangerous!! It's all so cute!!
