Lacey wins!

It's a GIRL!!!! We all went in for the ultrasound today and were blindsided with the news that we are having another girl. And yes, she made it quite evident to us that she was in fact a girl, no question. We took a poll last night and we all voted that it would be a boy except for Lacey. When we asked what her prize would be if it was a girl she just said so matter-of-factly "A baby girl". Like duh that is the prize. So when the doctor told us it was a girl, Lacey was so excited. She kept saying over and over "It's a girl baby, it's a girl baby, it's a girl baby". Like for 5 minutes just to make sure we all heard right. Then at the end she said "I"m so excited it is a sister." Poor little Aidan though was heartbroken. He held his head down and got a little misty-eyed. I'm sad for him a little but I just reminded him that this made him all the more special because he was my only boy. I bought him some popcorn, a soda and we found the Ferrari car from CARS so that eased the pain a little.

The little girl looked really good. Everything measured well and looked perfect. That is always the biggest relief. We saw toes and fingers, a little nose and cute little face. Lacey at times said she looked like a turtle. Interesting. We heard her heart beat and it was strong and loud. The kids thought that was pretty cool. They took some great 3D pics for us. The umbilical cord was going across her face so that is why they look a little fuzzy. We had to go out after to buy her something immediately. We decided on a pink hoodie. Now we need to think of GIRL names and what color to paint her room. Wow, my whole frame of thinking just got flipped over. So we will now look forward to our little Valentine girl baby (I'm due Feb. 14).
