And it's a ... girl!

Well, I was hoping for a girl. I had a feeling it was a girl. I went for my first ultrasound on Friday and the tech said she was 100% sure it was a girl. I am a little worried that she was possibly wrong and here we have a name picked out, completed our registries and started picking up a few decorating items. I'm assuming my midwife will send me for another ultrasound in a few weeks but the tech did a thorough scan, measuring bones and such. She upped my due date by 4 days but my mideife wants to keep it the same as before. So Oct. 23 is the big day. Well, babies come when they are ready so we'll just have to wait and see what this little girl decides to do.
I'm in trouble... big trouble. Between my husband and the grandparents, we are going to have one spoiled little girl. She's a diva in the making for sure. :)
It's so much more real now that I've seen pictures of her and occassionally feel her move. It's like, wow, there is a 6 inch little human being in my tiny baby bump. Craziness.
Everything is still going great. It's been so easy. I only hope and pray that continues. I really like my midwife and her team. They are all very sweet. We met with Aaron's friend who teaches the hypnobabies class and we'll begin that in Aug. Looks like it's going to be a busy summer...
I've started getting her room ready and it's almost ready to be painted. I wish we had her funrniture so we can really start decorating. There's so much to do to get ready... but this is an exciting time. It will go by so fast and I will miss feeling her inside me. I can't wait to feel her more distinctively. But I enjoy what I do feel.
She's an active baby... the midwife had a hard time getting a heartbeat on Monday because hse kept moving. And in the ultrasound, she was having a little party. It was so cool watching her.
I am stil just so amazed at life.
