It's a baby girl - Lilly Grace

Wow, so much has happened since the last time I updated the blog. Well everything is still going good, getting bigger by the day. We went to the doctor November 4th, so excited to find out if the baby was a girl or a boy! My mom and Mattie came with us. Well like her mother, she can be quiet stubborn. She had her legs crossed and after 30 minutes we still couldn't tell. We got to see her face, her arms, and her legs but that was it. Mattie said that the baby looked like an alien and wanted to know why it looked like that!!

So we made an appointment to have the 3D ultrasound done on November 10th. Of course my mom wasn't very happy b/c she could not be there due to my cousins wedding in Denver, that I did not get to attend. Anyway, I had eaten spicy Thai food for lunch with Jill that day and well she was dancing and moving all day long so what did she do when we got there SLEEP!! She did have her legs uncrossed so we were able to see that she was a girl, but no good pictures of her face. We got to see her hand and her ear, but not her face. Yes, I do believe she is going to be slightly stubborn!!!

Even though the pictures did not turn out well we were able to see that she was a girl, which I couldn't believe b/c this whole time Mike and I had thought we were having a boy. Mattie of course said, I told you mommy that it was a girl!! I guess kids do know.

So I have been trying to decide the room, the name, and everything else. Everyone knows my favorite color is pink, well Mike asked does the room have to be pink? Really, does he know me?? Of cours the room has to be pink and we found cute bedding to match.

Yesterday we went shopping and registered for what we think we need. I know you can never be fully prepared so if anyone checks out the registry at Babies R Us and sees I didn't register for something that is needed please let me know!!

Some of the big things we are trying not to be to gender specific b/c hopefully we will have another one and get to use all of the stuff again!!

I will write more soon, have another apt on Dec. 3rd.
