It's a GIRL!

Yep, it's a GIRL! Our 20-week ultrasound was on October 1st. I give bonus points to Brian who didn't miss a beat at showing his excitement for our big news when he was hoping for a big brother in the family. We are both truly excited to be having a girl (though Brian 

admits he'll have a rough time pawning off all the boys when the time comes! Perhaps he'll have to buy a few more guns. :) I can't wait to dress up our little baby doll; it's becoming more and more exciting. 

Here's another exciting thing: We hit bank at a garage sale and got lots of baby stuff- including a great crib and mattress for cheap, and all the bedding too! I was so excited to put it up (though we have a while to go) that I did it all myself and I can't help but grin every time I look at it. :)

I apologize for not showing off our ultrasound, but the pictures didn't turn out very exciting and I'm a little resentful I guess! We were hoping to get a cool picture of her spine as we watched the ultrasound live, but oh well.

A touch on being pregnant: I didn't know it could be exhausting or even a chore to feed myself, but it is! I usually love meal time, but since I'm supposed to eat all the time, I have to think of, prepare, eat, and put away everything I eat for every snack/meal. That gets quite laborious- especially including dishes. However, I keep going because my body needs it and the docs say I'm still underweight. Trust me- I'm not worried about gaining weight, because well duh I'm having a baby! But I'm not going to start on cookies and milkshakes just to put on some pounds. I'm surprisingly not into sweets. I only want to eat healthy stuff with the exception of maybe some fatty whole milk- yeah, I love that stuff and it's FREE being on WIC!  Whoo-hoo!
