It's a girl!

How awesome was my Halloween shirt?!?  I can say that because I didn't design it or make it.

21 weeks preggo

Cody and I had our 20 week sonogram where they check a lot of the anatomy of the baby.  We were seriously thinking about not finding out the sex of the baby this time around.  I have almost all the toys/accessories/etc that I need.  Plus, with our circumstances, I'm not really able to decorate a nursery much--and the kids will be sharing a room.  So we figured it would be fun to make it a surprise on baby's birth day!  The trouble was that once the sonographer started scanning the baby, I couldn't turn my head away.  As she was scanning the baby's legs, Cody and I both saw what we were SURE were boy parts (just like what we saw with Caden).  We both looked at each other and smiled... but neither of us said anything to the sono tech.  A minute later, the tech was showing us a shot of baby from below and between the legs when she said "and I don't see anything here so it looks like you have a little girl!"   I guess that shows how much Cody and I know...

So how did we react?  Well I was laying there wondering if I would know what to do with a girl and trying to think of a way I could avoid ever having to fix her hair and mess with bows.  Little girls are so cute, but I wasn't sure if I was cut out to raise one.  I'm trusting God knows what he's doing with this.  :)  Meanwhile, Cody just beamed in excitement.  I found out right then that although he never admitted it to me before, he was hoping to have a little girl of his own.  It was cute.

We found out that we were having a girl right before Halloween.  When a friend and I were talking at work I told her that I thought it would have been fun to have a Halloween shirt that somehow revealed the sex of the baby to family but that I didn't have time to order anything online.  To my surprise, she text me late Friday night and said she had made me one!  She had gone to hobby lobby, bought all the supplies, and FREE HANDED it.  It took her a very long time to make, but it turned out perfect!  Plus, I got to wear it to work on Halloween and all my patients got a kick out of it.
