Visions of Pink

Dave's convinced she has my nose


Just saying "Hi" to mommy and daddy


We're having a baby girl! While you've probably already heard this news by now - either by phone call, text, or facebook - I wanted to document it on our blog as well since this undoubtedly is serving as a little pregnancy journal for us.

We are both so thrilled that we're having a little girl. Dave and I both admitted that we secretly wanted a baby girl first and well, if the ultrasound proves correct, in just a few short months our house will fill with all things girly. I'm excited for all the pink and for little dresses with matching hairbows. Dave is looking forward to many father-daughter dates, teaching her how to golf, tea parties and playing dress up, and of course scaring away potential boyfriends someday :)

Perhaps it's just coincidence but it appears that a lot of those trusty old wives tales actually proved correct in our case. We found today that we have a stubborn little baby on our hands (Dave says she already takes after me) - she didn't want to open her legs no matter how much we tried. She just wanted to sit Indian-style or kick my bladder repeatedly. Finally near the end, she gave us a nice bottom's up view so we could see that she was in fact a she. It was amazing to see all of her features up close. We saw all her fingers and toes, her fast-beating heart, her tiny little nose and lips... we were already in awe of how beautiful she looked. We were happy to hear that she is perfectly healthy and that all the measurements were within normal range. We pray things continue to progress perfectly and that in a few short months we'll welcome our beautiful baby girl to the world.
