Life With A Baby Girl On The Way!

Today was an AMAZING day! Ray and I went to a specialist this morning for our 20 week ultrasound! I am 21 weeks today. They just moved their offices to a new location and their office is beautiful and HUGE! The room we were in was large and had an awesome chair that starts by sitting up and then moves to you laying down. On the ceiling their was a section of small twinkly lights made to look like stars. The ultrasound machine was brand new and look incredible! So when Dr Case came in he was very nice and friendly. He got started right away with everything. He made sure to go over with us if anything was wrong but everything was perfect! Even the gel they put on my belly was warm! They have a special warmer for their gel it was great! So we got a ton of photos of Eli but it is hard to tell what they all are so I just posted these. We also bought a DVD of the ultrasound but I can't figure out how to upload it online or get it off the DVD and onto the computer...if you know videos I would appreciate the help! So Dr Case was funny when he told us the sex...he said 'And there is your daughter's labia'. It was hilarious! Ray, Jess, Lupe, my dad and a resident were pretty much the only ones that had guessed it was a girl! Eli was perfect in all ways. She weights just about 1 pound right now and is on track to be 8.25-8.5 pounds at 40 weeks. Her head is 2 inches across and 7 inches around. Her waist is also 7 inches around. We got to see her hands and fingers, it was all super amazing! So she can hear us now so he said we should talk to her. He also suggested we write her a letter today about how much we and everyone else love her and will always be there for her. I really liked his idea! :)

So we are so super excited to start decorating the nursery! I can't wait to get the paint up so we can start putting everything together! It will also be super fun to start shopping for girl clothes since we have been shopping for a year for boy clothes for Christian & Isaac! Yeah for little girls! Now Isaac has a girlfriend! :) My dad wanted a little girl so bad! He said he would buy all of the dresses since he loves little girl outfits. He is great! I asked if his bank account was ready and he said yes it was. He was great! My mom's best friend Jeanette actually came to town yesterday to see me! She went out today as soon as we found out and bought some adorable outfits for Eli! She is so sweet! She also said she wants to buy us whatever swing we want. She really spoils me! I love her and appreciate her so much! Hopefully this weekend Ray, his mom and I are going to the North Bend outlet mall where there are 3 baby outlets! I'm so excited to start buying pink!!! And whatever hippo stuff we find we will be getting! (so keep your eyes open for pink & purple hippos!)
