It's A GIRL!!!

Yep that's right! Lizzy's going to have a little sister in about 5 months! Soooo exciting! I didn't know what to expect this morning, I was so nervous I woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep, I kept wondering if she'd be healthy, if all the right pieces and parts would be in place... if there'd be some terrible news I'd get announcing something awful was going on inside. But nope, little miss was sound asleep and had to be jostled around so she'd wake up and play with us! LOL After bouncing my tummy around like it was a trampoline Maddy woke up and started kicking and stretching... she keeps her hands up by her face so we might have a thumb sucker with this one... and she'd stretch her little legs out and put a foot right in perfect view. She looked like such a sweet sweet angel. I can't wait to meet her!

Right after we found out Jay went to work and I went straight to Target to swap out my BLUE sleeper that I'd gotten on Monday. (My dad swore it was a boy and he was right with liz, so I figured I'd go buy one little blue thing.) Well I switched it out for an adorable lavender stripe sleeper and found a baby blanket onsale marked down from $20 to $3!!! Love those deals! I then walked over to Babies R Us to see if they had any deals when I realized. I really don't need anything else! We're going to keep the girls (*giggle* I love that... "the girls") together in one room and keep the other room open for the playroom. (At least that's the plan for now.) Since Maddy will be in with us in her bassinett until about 2 or 3 months when she starts sleeping through the night, I figure there's no point in her having her own room when we've already got tons of room in Lizzy's bedroom. Right now I've got the toddler bed on one wall and the crib opposite of it and there's still plenty of room for 2 dressers and a hope chest. (One dresser and the hope chest are already in there) So it won't be too much of a stretch for the girls to share a room. But I'll definately wait until baby girl is sleeping through the night before inflicting that on Lizzy. ;)

Wow I just cannot describe how excited I am. Seriously. I've been jittery all day long. (Of course that might have something to do with the Mt. Dew I drank prior to the ultra sound - I wasn't taking any risks... they're booked up all day so I knew if we were going to find out today, I'd better have her awake when we arrive! Turns out she was still sleeping... but easier to wake up than lizzy was... hope that's not a sign. LOL) It's just so great to know. Now I feel like it's real, I've seen her, she's growing and beautiful already. (Of course she's rather alien like at this point but you know, mom's love them all the same.) It's great calling her... HER! :D YAY! Ah I can't even begin to say how long I've looked forward to finding out!!!! And now I can start doing a little shopping. (Oh I know, I have plenty of stuff for her already, but one thing I don't like to reuse is PJ's and special outfits. Day to day stuff is one thing, but PJ"s wear out so quick... I want her to have her own soft and new PJ's. - Yes, I realize. I'm weird.) LOL

So that's that... on to some pictures!

Profile Shot!

For some reason this next one looks

like she has about a dozen toes on one foot.

But the u/s girl assured us she counted

5 on each foot. So I guess I'll trust her.

Would kinda be cool though. :P 12 toes on each foot.

LOL

I have some more, but these were the best one's... Hopefully I'll get some more at the 21 week u/s. (I'm not sure if I'll have another one or not... depends on if the doctor recommends one. This was done off site as my doc won't do them until 21 weeks at least... and I wanted to know NOW! LOL We shall see...)

Anyway, Madeline Grace (Maddy) or Annagrace (not sure on the middle name but we'd call her Gracey) will be her name! That is unless something else peaks our interest. LOL But for now these are our favorites! :D
