That's right I just said she...we are having a GIRL! I am still in shock as I type this out. Derrick now considers himself the baby whisperer after correctly guessing nearly every baby. After shooting Baby Annabelle I found myself thinking "I could get used to bows and tutu's" but I honestly thought it would be a boy so when she said girl I started crying. I also thought "we need a 2nd opinion," but after she continually went back to scan between the legs and 'nothing' showed up I knew it must be true! Derrick beamed with pride as we walked out and I think my mouth was wide open. I can't believe I actually have to store Riley's clothes for another few years and maybe even longer! I can put a face to a boy baby of ours but this girl is so new and exciting that's it's still hard to believe. This ultrasound was uncomfortable and the tech was literally abusing our little girl. She was lying super low and the tech wasn't able to get the measurements so she kept pumping my stomach with the doppler and you could see our little baby on the screen getting bounced around violently. I was on my back for too long and started getting sweaty and nauseous until we finally got around to actually watching our little baby floating around and putting her fists in her mouth. She was a fighter after so many jabs she started kicking back and hard! So nearly an hour later we were done and D was pissed at the rough way were we treated. I am sure it was standard protocol but when your Mommy starts turning green and sweating maybe we should try something else!
So bring on the fresh paint colors, new furniture, new bedding, lots of new clothing and of course the pinks and purples! I am so excited to get going on her room and we are just so excited that everything looked great (4 heart chambers, 2 functioning kidneys, great cervical and long spine, 10 fingers, 10 toes and so on) and now this baby feels really real. We only have 19+ weeks to prepare so I better get going!
Here she is, perfection already and yes Derrick is already smitten (so am I!).
20 weeks 2 days
and just for confirmation I looked up Riley's pictures...
Boy stuff...haha!
Riley boy at 19 weeks 2 days! Exactly one week before we saw her!
