Elizabeth Kate!

Mommy intuition was correct again! PEEP is a GIRL =). The appointment started with Lizzy in a ball with her legs crossed. We thought, "great this won't happen today," but when my breakfast and Pepsi kicked in she was rolling around! Everything looks great. We got to see her brain, her heart, her bones, everything. The picture between the legs wasn't as clear as Gabriels, but the tech said definitely a girl. She saw 4 chambers to her heart but didn't get an actual picture, so I go back for another ultrasound at my next appointment. YES! I honestly believe she could have gotten a clear picture, but she is being nice and letting me have another ultrasound ;). Whether it will be "free" or not is the next question. From the bill it looks like I'll pay another $150.00, but it wasn't my fault (or at my request) so I can't see paying that...

The moments in the ultrasound room are so surreal. I didn't want to cry until I was walking down the hallway with daddy (hubby). I am sure when we see each other tonight a few tears will be shed. I love that man dearly! I wish he didn't have to go to work after the appointment, but I am so thankful he was able to go this time. Gabriel also got to see the baby! He was such a good boy during the whole thing.

Right now Elizabeth is due on September 24th. My babyhopes.com calculations say September 22nd, so we will see. A few days won't matter a hill of beans, and she will come when it is time. I guess I am just paying close attention since Gabriel was born on his due date.

After the appointment mom, Mylena, and I went shopping. We didn't get a whole lot of things because Liz will be born at the beginning of Fall. Three months after birth it will be Christmas, which means 0-3 month clothes should be Winter, not Spring dresses (although I was tempted bc they are SO cute)! Gabriel fit the measurements pretty accurately, so I'm not expecting a big baby this time either. This means Spring dresses will only work in the NB size. Anyway, I'm just going to put off clothes shopping until July/August when the Fall things arrive. For now I will concentrate on her room. We will be turning Josh's office into a girls room! I am envisioning periwinkle =). I can't wait! Shabby Chic it will be!!!!!

Well, here are some pictures of our exciting morning!!!!

    I cant believe you are 18 weeks with that belly of yours! I'm so excited for you guys. You can probably search through some of Kyleigh's clothes too since she was January there's a lot that would work for fall and what not :)

    Don't be too confident about the clothing sizes. Danica wore newborn sizes for at least 2 months and Emmy never wore them. Emmy is wearing 6-9 month clothes now and she is not even 3 months old yet, D was wearing 6-9 month clothes when she was a year old. Vast difference.

    Tiffany, thank you! I am really trying not to splurge on clothes until she is born. You are so right..

    Shelby, double birthday for sure! This momma can't afford two within two weeks. One of Josh's friends offers her children a BIG bash or two small ones. They always choose the BIG one together ;)
