For many of my readers you already know what we are expecting because you either attended our “revealing” barbecue, heard from facebook, or read it on my cupcake blog a few days ago. Jim and I found out the sex of the baby on Thursday, well, my Mom and Sister did first as Jim couldn’t attend the ultrasound. It was good to see the baby and that all is looking good. Before the tech said the words I could tell what the baby was, and then after the tech was looking at other parts it hit me that I am going to be a Mommy and that this is real. It was very surreal during the first 20 weeks because you know you have something growing inside your belly, you feel its slightly moving but your always guessing what color you get to decorate the nursery. I guess I was in denial, but I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to see my little munchkins face. The hardest part is going to be waiting another 19 weeks, but I am happy that my motherly intuition was correct. Below are a few pictures of the weekend and me at 20 weeks. I am obviously a little late with this posting, I will be 21 weeks tomorrow!

GIRL!
Jim and I couldn’t be happier. This is what I wanted and have been dreaming about for weeks. I sold myself at 9 weeks when my Mom and I went to USA Baby and I saw the most beautiful crib set, I told myself it better be a girl. I knew it was the whole time but the night before I had boy dreams and on the way to the appointment I was full of anxiety because they always say that your dreams predict the sex, in my case all odds were girl, even the Chinese calender was wrong. Yippee! Let the shopping begin.
To see how we told our friends (besides me slipping to almost everyone before the BBQ) check out the link to the right to my cupcake blog.

I am glad everything else is healthy with your little one.
You will be a wonderful mother.
