17 Weeks!

Let me just start off by saying this post is dedicated to my mother! She gets on my case when I don't post in my blog. I talk to her everyday and she knows everything, but she likes to read it, I guess!! Here ya go mama! 

We are very excited because on Tuesday we get the baby furniture delivered. I found a crib I really liked and when we went shopping, one of the stores had the floor model for sale....YIPPEEE! I got a great deal! I am going with off white furniture. 

So, I have to get that room in shape before it gets delivered. Yikes....lots of laundry to fold and closets to organize! 

 I am still on the hunt for baby bedding. Can I just tell you they make the ugliest baby bedding out there! I was almost tempted to take on the task to make my own....then I had to remind myself....I don't sew!! Minor detail! I am trying to find some sort of non-baby bedding that has some soft pinks and browns. I am also going for the kind of shabby chic look. We'll see what the heck I come up with! 

We have also been clothes shopping for her. That is a blast. I went to Carters in Carlsbad and got great deals and the cutest little jammie sets! Of course everything was pink! I am ready to go back out tomorrow....oh but crap I have a room full of laundry I have to fold first....darn it. 

We have been trying to name this little girl. The name I originally picked out is a no go! Darn! I really loved Addison, but Sans hates it and it was brought to my attention that it is a dogs disease (Addisons disease) I can't name her that!! So we are back to Ava Grace. Sans would like to just name her Grace...he loves that name. We'll see...maybe another name will pop up before she is born. 

The very cool thing about this week is that she is a mover and a shaker in there!!! She moves around constantly. It is a strange feeling. It started out so subtle last week and now it feels like she does flips and kicks! Sans said she'll probably be fiesty like her mama....sure hope not!! 

We do have a Dr.s appt this week and another ultrasound coming up the following week. 

That's it folks.....until next week! 

IT'S A GIRL!

Well, IT'S A GIRL! We are so excited and the 4D experience is an amazing one. I loved having the family there to share in this and see all of the excitement on their faces too! It was amazing to see her move around in there and she sure wasn't shy about letting us know she was a girl. At one point she had her but cheeks spread eagle right to the camera. It was like she was saying....Here ya go folks...you want to know what I am....here ya go!  She gave a great show and then towards the end it was nappy time. She fell asleep. 

 I am up at the crack of dawn because I am too excited to sleep. I can also feel her moving all around in there. She is quite active at 4:30AM! It is always when I am still that I can feel her moving around in there.  Sans can't wait until the day he can feel her kick. I always wonder what it must be like for the husbands to be experiencing this. You know people always say having a baby is a miracle and until it is your own is when you actually believe it! Sans will be a great dad and it is very special to be sharing this with someone you love so deeply. Well, I didn't just wake up at 4:30 am for nothing! Since the house is quiet and I got my credit card out I think it is time to start doing some online shopping now for this little one...gotta go! 

4D Ultrasound this week!

There is the belly! Well, I am so darn excited and nervous about this 4D Ultrasound. I sat on the computer looking at You Tube videos of 16 week 4D Ultrasounds.......SCARY! The baby looks like a alien! So, I have invited the whole family to go to this and our baby is going to look like an alien....GREAT!!! 

It will probably scare the 5 & 4 year old nephews half to death and they are so excited to see their cousin! Not one of my better ideas to do this! Oh well! I am too curious now and really need to know if this is a girl or the tech was wrong and it is really a boy! That would be a bit of a shock at this point because I have it set in my head that it is a girl. We'll find out on Friday!
