GIRL!!!

I completely spaced and forgot to post over here on the blog the results of our gender ultrasound/reveal! For some reason, I remembered to call family and post on Instagram and Facebook...but never posted the results over here! Haha, preggo brain= preggo problems. Thanks Adam for the comment to remind me, otherwise it might have been April and the baby being born before I posted over here! 

Yoda's a little uncertain of what he's going to do with the baby sister that he's getting for his birthday (yes, our due date falls right around Yoda's first birthday AND April Fool's Day!). We were pretty surprised and uncertain of what we might do with a girl child as well...we've been calling the baby a "he" since we found out- we were that convinced it was a boy, but God had other plans. :) I love how those kinds of things work out. After wrapping our heads around the idea that we had a baby girl growing inside, we've gotten quite excited about the idea of a girl! Little Miss is already cracking us up- the other night we discovered "Rockabye Baby" (pop songs redone in lullaby form) and she had us cracking up at how much she would dance when she liked a song (her current favorites are "Gold Digger" and "Don't Stop Believin'"- I'm not sure her daddy likes the idea of her being a gold digger all that much, and I'm questioning our parenting skills already- bring on the PraiseBaby). Right now, little one is enjoying using my bladder as a trampoline and enjoys sticking her head in my side and my back, both of which are quite painful and lead to me doing all sorts of jumping around to get her to move. :)

We have picked a name and are 99.9% sure on it (we had a name picked out before the ultrasound, but after about a week of calling our wee one that name, we decided it just didn't fit/we didn't really like it...so we've moved on to our NEW NAME that we love and adore and we can't wait to yell at our kid across the playground). Right now, we have shared it with family, but we're planning on waiting for the "official" 20 week ultrasound in November to get a second look at our baby girl and make sure she is really a she before we announce the name. That is- if this super impatient preggo can manage to wait that long/can go that long without slipping up. :) 

We're 16 weeks and 5 days today. We reach 17 weeks on Saturday. I can't believe how far we've made it with our little blessing. We are so close to being halfway there. I'm constantly in awe of how some people don't consider the little life growing inside of me to be a life. I just don't understand how my daughter who jumps and dances, responds to sound, and has precious little fingers and toes isn't considered alive, isn't considered a person. If anything, pregnancy has made me even more pro-life- which is hard to comprehend since I was already so so so prolife! :)
