It's A....


My maternal instinct was right! IT'S A GIRL!!!

We had our sonogram at 1:30 today; I was so excited and so nervous at the same time. So excited to see our baby, and nervous hoping that everything was healthy and ok. The sono tech asked us if we wanted to know the gender and we said YES. She told us "Looks like a baby girl!" and I just told Kyle "I knew it!!!!" I just knew she is a girl! And our prayers were answered, she is perfect! Here are our first pictures of our precious daughter.

She has a cute little nose just like Landon did! One of her little hands is up by her forehead - a drama queen already!!

Smiling for the camera

Sweet little foot
I just love watching the sonogram. I wish it lasted for an hour instead of just 10 or 15 minutes! I could just watch forever! She had the hiccups while we were watching so it was so cute to see her little belly jumping; we could even hear them while listening to her heartbeat! So incredible! It just amazes me how we could watch her heart beating, see her little spine and other internal organs. God is so incredible!
Here is Landon "meeting" his little sister for the first time!

He only thought it was interesting to watch for about a minute and then he was ready to move on. But he cooperated very well so Kyle & I could watch our little girl moving & jumping around!

I made cupcakes and filled them with pink whipped cream to take to some of the girls in my Bible studies to announce the gender to them (we were originally thinking about doing a gender reveal party for all our students, but it's homecoming week so evenings are pretty packed for people!) Here is Kyle & me with our pink filled cupcake!


And here are some pictures of the girls reacting while biting into the cupcakes!

 It was so fun to see them all be so excited!!

We would have been excited for a boy or a girl, but I'm just so excited that my instincts were right and I haven't been thinking our poor boy was a girl all this time! Now I can REALLY start planning the nursery! We're going to have so much fun!!

I am beyond excited for you! Doing a little happy dance over here! Girls are SO much fun!
And I just had a feeling you'll have a girl too. And for once my instincts about other women's babies were right :-)
A big congrats to you my friend!

Awwww YAY!!!! Soooooo excited for you and Kyle! Obviously any gender is a blessing (OBVIOUSLY) but I'm excited that you're already getting to have one of each. I just bet that little girl is going to have the most protective big brother ever :) If you need anything GIRLY, we've got a house full of it that you're welcome to borow :)

I miss you, my friend! I think of you often and hope all is well. I remember the occasional exhaustedness that comes with pregnancy and hope you're feeling ok and keeping up with that busy little boy of yours.
