House shopping

With all this baby talk, it's easy for me to forget other exciting news in our lives. This past week we put in a bid on a house ... they countered ... we countered ... they countered and today we agreed! So if all goes well, we should close before the end of May! I'm still in shock and so happy that this worked in our favor ... it's just such a great time to buy right now with the low interest rates and the huge tax rebate!

Time is flying! I can't believe how fast this second trimester is going. I still feel great ... I've been eating like a hog and the scale is starting to reflect it! I really need to break down and buy some more maternity clothes ... especially camis. All of my tank tops keep coming up over my stomach (of course I'm wearing shirts on top of them!) and it's so frustrating. I just hate spending money on clothes I will use for such a short period of time. Oh well!

I have been feeling our little girl move around more and I love it! Even when it's 3 or 4 in the morning ... it's a relief to know she is moving ... especially considering that I always wake up on my back. I just can't sleep well on my side, but I really do fall asleep that way!

Pink it is!

The ultrasound went very well ... once we finally got called back! I left work especially early today to pick up Denny and then we headed into Jackson to get a late lunch before the appointment. We ate at Subway and ended with a lot of extra time on our hands. No biggie ... we just waited in the car and I drank the 32 ounces of water an hour before the appointment. We went into the office early ... just in case we could get in early. Yeah right! They kept calling everyone's name in the waiting room except mine, which wouldn't have been a big deal except for all the water I had consumed. I was beginning to get really uncomfortable and finally they called my name ... it was only 30 minutes after my scheduled time, but that's a long time when you have to wait to pee!

Anyway, the lady was so nice and apologetic ... there was no way I could be mad ... she's very busy!

We got started. She asked us if we wanted to know ... YES! She asked if I had a feeling one way. I told her I thought it was a girl and she said I was probably right then. She then proceeded to get our little darling on the screen and immediately told us the news ... it's a girl! I was in awe ... she's so amazing already! She kept waving her hand. I'm so in love with this little girl! And she was healthy and everything seems to be going well. We got a lot of great photos.
