it's a...............!






i am so excited that ellie is going to have a SISTER to play with!!!!  now my daughters can write the story of their adventures, just as i have with my own sister

we had our ultra sound on friday, the tec asked if we wanted to know the sex, um YES!  she went to peek but we found crossed legs, so we started taking measurements and watching our baby kick, hit and roll around.  finally, the baby uncrossed her legs and we zoomed in...i saw 3 lines and i said to chris " i see 3 lines!! its a GIRL!" 

chris laughed and smiled then yelled " YES! i wanted another girl"  then high fived me and fist pumped the air

really, chris? can you not be more excited about this???

haha

of course the tech wasn't able to tell us but did resort to calling the baby she from then on in.

i had my prenatal appointy yesterday and the dr confirmed it's a GIRL!!!!!! 

my appointment went AWESOME.  i was in and out in 45 MINUTES!  record!  my blood pressure is low, my weight is high (i received the "you are putting on too much weight lecture"  according to their numbers i'm at the 15 pound mark, 25 being the max amount....so i have what, 17 more wks to gain 10? NOT gonna happen, im predicting my normal 50 pound gain. hahaha

i am meeting with the obg at 32 wks to book the section to have this little bonus baby girl!

nate is THRILLED to have another sister, and i quote him "i want another sister because ellie is so cute and she doesn't play with my toys" hahaha  raw honestly

i am SOOOOO happy that it's a girl. not that i care really, but logistically it's perfect for our family. nate will be 7 when she's born, not a play mate for him but more for ellie

i grew up having an older sister 11 months older than me, for 1 wk each yr we are the same age.  we are ubber close, esp growing up.  my sister was my best friend, we did everything together, we worked at the same job, hung out, went on trips, and spend tones of time together.  even though we are different as you can get, we are still besties. now, my daughters will have the same chance... they will ultimately choose if they will be friends but i can pave the way to allow it to happen

i feel like our family is perfect. for us.  an older son, which i was blessed and so very grateful for having all to myself for 5 yrs before his sister joined us.  those yrs i spent with nate, playing, going places, parks,. play dates, gym, swim, preschools etc...are years busting, over flowing with memories that will be forever engraved in my heart.  they are ours. our memories.  just him and i.  this is something so special that none of his sisters will have.  5 yrs of just mom.  it worked out to be a blessing for us, nate got the time and attention he needed to grow into an amazing brother and son. we are still close and i have his heart to watch over and protect but it's different he's getting older....sob sob and i am letting him go....

then along came our little surprise, our ellie belly- boo!  our peaceful, calm delight.  nate took to her better than we could dream. i don't think a day goes by that we don't sit back and think how amazing he is with her.

nate and ellie have been buddies for 19 months now....and now another sister to welcome, love and enjoy!

so there you go, we are having another baby girl!  wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

(and a HUGE thank you to my sister who is graciously allowing me to hang on to charlie's clothes for this baby)
