Come January it will be Rob, Amanda and our sweet baby girl !!!

We were hoping that last week we'd get an answer but it did not go as expected... I had had nothing but water for 4 days and I downed a Mountain Dew 30 minutes before our appointment to try and get our little bit hopping.  We get there and surprise surprise there he/she sits cross legged with the cord between their legs. The technician tried for 30 minutes to get her to flip and show us... but like a stubborn little lady she stayed put.  Needless to say we were just a wee bit bummed.

Yesterday we got to see little bit at the doctor.  Of course he couldn't get a clear look either.  He said he thought it was highly likely we'd created a boy.  But he could not say with much certainty.

Today we went back to the prenatal imaging place and about 5 minutes into it.. the technician says "I'm certain it is a girl".  She was flipped on her head showing off this time.  SO once she got a clear look, she showed us why she was saying that... and wabam... silence.  It was like crickets.

You could say we were not expecting to hear that.  Rob and his co-workers had done about every myth test in the books and they all resulted with the answer of boy.  We had a boy name picked out.  We had hardly even though of our sweet little bit being a girl.  So I guess you could say we set ourselves up for that one.  ;)

Regardless we did our first round of shopping.  We've picked out a name.  And we are adjusting to calling our sweet baby G our little girl.  It's weird... it's scary... it's exciting!

First trimester... done and done.

Thank the sweet Lord above.

Because if being pregnant meant nine months of THAT.  We'd be one and done.  I promise you that.

Within the last week or two I've started feeling normal.  Even almost not pregnant.  Minus the swollen ankles and firm belly of course.  I'm not AS tired and I feel a bit more normal... knock on wood.

This here blog has been silent though because I've been on a two week vacation to Kansas.  One of my favorite places in the world... (the others... the lake, my Grandparents farm and with my little family in Georgia).  Which has been two weeks of busy.  It started with my cousins bachelorette party.  Then went into lake time.  Then became a wedding frenzy as my cousin got married.  This last day today has just flown by and tomorrow bright and early I board a few planes, travel in a bus and arrive back right where these last two weeks started... home.

I'm ready.  It is funny how getting older changes how you feel about home.  I'll always have two homes.  The one with my parents... and then the one with my husband and boys.  Our little gang.  I miss that second one when I am at the first and vice versa.  I guess that is life... always changing.

Of course once I get home things don't calm down in the least little bit.  However we do have an appointment scheduled to find out what we are having... so... YOU tell ME.


Also, please know... every last one of those sweet congratulatory comments made. my. day.  I feel the love from you all.  Even when I've been so vacant recently.  So thank you, thank you, thank you.

Until next time my friends...
