Tutu’s and headbands and sparkles… OH MY!

We can’t believe it, but we are having a baby girl! We were seriously 95% sure we were having a boy, I don’t know why, but we were. It took me a couple days to get my head around it. But I am so excited! It makes this really real, we also found out that everything is perfect with her and with me. She is healthy and growing exactly as planned. That was a huge relief! Here she is, it is a side profile of her she is folded in half like a pancake, and we think she might be sucking her thumb. I think she is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Yep that’s inside of me! WHAT?!

The ultra sound was really cool, we got to look at her for 25 minutes and check to see if everything was measuring right and where it needed to be, it was really sweet, she was yawning, it was so cute and moving around like a crazy lady. So in that 25 minutes we saw that she is a mix of me and Dustin already!

We have finished painting her room.

We were so proud of our stripe painting skills! My mother in law, Linda came over and helped me paint the gray and the 1 white wall which I was SO grateful for. Dustin and I measured and drew and taped the lines, which wasn’t as easy as I thought. Now it’s just time to accessorize, which will be my favorite part!!! I am thinking that I am going to add a few different colors, I want to do a coraly pink, chartreuse, and light turquoise. We will just have to see as I shop.

I am 21 weeks now (please excuse my shoe pile up, Dustin gets so mad!)

I am feeling so great! I can see why everyone says that the second trimester is the favorite. I cannot believe that I have more weeks accomplished than I have to go! Holy it went fast! I can eat pretty much anything now, I am not throwing up, knock on wood, and I can feel her move and kick. It is really exciting! I am getting super anxious for her to get here, I honestly can’t wait to have cuddle time and bath time and dress up . I feel like I am getting less grumpy, but that is me saying that, probably ask Dustin and my co workers if that is true or not? I do get heart burn sometimes, but so far tums are working like a charm. After I play softball it takes me a couple days to get back to walking normal. I am REALLY hot, I feel like it has been 180 degrees the last week or so, that could also be due to the fact that the A/C in the Rodeo is out, which is a whole other topic in itself that we will not discuss so I don’t curse in front the baby. Anyway, besides that I am feeling awesome and loving being pregnant.

I think that we have settled in on the name Reese. For a while we were stuck between Sadie and Reese, which I still love both so much I am just feeling Reese right now. Plus, in the consensus of people I have told the 2 names, Sadie is a great name for cat’s and Golden Retrievers. Maybe by the time our  2nd girl comes around everyone will think of Sadie as a human name.

I am also really excited because we have so many babies coming to be Reese’s friends! I have 2 co workers that have 2 new baby boys, my sister in law Kelsey is pregnant and due 10 days ahead of me, our friends Danny and Haley are due in December, and 2 friends in the ward are due in December and January. It is crazy, I feel like a while ago no one was having any baby luck and then there was a big boom. Unfortunately, I still know a couple people who are having struggles and my heart breaks but I know it will happen for them! I can’t wait till all of our friends start trying and bringing more friends into the world. I pray for you all every night!

Peace out dogs
