It's a GIRL ...

Thursday we had our 20 week ultrasound. We were bursting with excitment to find out the sex of baby. I can't believe we waited this long and not go to an ultrasound specialist earlier. We picked up my mom to join us and headed to the doctors office. While in the waiting room my mom started a group text to be ready that read "It's a ___. " And right when we would find out she was going to type in the rest and send. But she accidently hit send instead of save and half a dozen people that were waiting got a little tease. My dad was in and out of meetings and kept text "boy or girl." "boy or girl."

The ultrasound tech had a little trouble at first. Baby had legs crossed and was sleeping. Luckily I carry gummy bears in my purse, ate those, and the sugar perked baby right up. She got a great view and voila! It's a GIRL! All Justin and I could do was look at each other and smile with tears in our eyes. My mom squealed and got to texting 1,2,3. The tech did all the health checks and we even counted all 10 fingers and 10 toes. Baby is 100% healthy and my second batch of blood work came back normal.

The short ride from the doctors office to the Cracked Egg our three phones were ringing and dinging off the walls. There was so many people we wanted to tell and share. My mom and I barley even had an appetite and had to force ourselves to eat breakfast. After breakfaast we headed to Babies R Us to register for our registry. We decided on a lamb theme for the nursery, there was so many cute options. I think I went back and forth about three times. The three of us spent almost four hours shopping. At the end we got sucked in to the clothes and of course we couldn't leave empty handed. 

The following day while I was driving to work it was rainy but the sun was trying to peak through the clouds. Right in front of me was a beautiful full rainbow and I couldn't control myself and just started crying. It was a reminder that Marietta was there and looking down at us. She would of been delighted for a little Granddaughter and I just wish she could be here with us to share these happy moments.
