It's Official

We went to the doctor for our appointment to find out what the gender of the baby was. Turns out, IT'S A GIRL!!! I can't believe it. Both Shawn and I were shocked. We both were really thinking a boy the whole time because Shawn comes from a family of all boys and lots of nephews. Same with my side. My family even took bets on the gender and every single person except my dad and my sister Kylee chose a boy. All I really cared about the whole time was that the baby was healthy. And everything was great. The ultrasound technician said that our baby girl is very healthy and is actually one week ahead of schedule as far as growing rates go. She even weighed 14 ounces, which the norm is 11 ounces to this point so she is gonna be a chunker. We are both so excited and it makes things that much more real to us. We can finally start buying cute girly outfits and start thinking of names too. I was going to post a picture of the baby at the ultrasound and how you can tell she is a girl, but Shawn didn't want everyone looking at our little girl's crotch. So sorry about that, no picture.

I'm jealous!!! I wanted a girl... both times. But doesn't mean you'll love her any less that's for sure! And hopefully since she's bigger she'll come a week earlier, right? We can hope!!!
