Big Ultrasound!

We had our "big" ultrasound the week before last. It's a ....


!!!

Yes that is a dress behind the sweet little pink coming home outfit. Okay, two dresses. Okay OKAY - two dresses, six girly onesies, two pink shirts, a skirt, two flowery sleepers and a skort. Finding it hard to believe that I've already bought so much in the two short weeks since finding out she's a she? Goes to show what you know. I bought most of that stuff before I was even sure it was a girl. So there!

Our little Giffette is healthy and happy and growing like a weed! According to BabyCenter.com as of today she is about the length of a carrot and weights about three quarters of a pound. According to my scale she weighs about 20 lbs.

Here is a picture of the actual ultrasound pic ... I took it on my cell so it's not the best quality. Her beauty shines through the fuzziness.


One of her little tiny arm and hand.

Um, is she giving me the finger in-utero? Pretty sure she is. Thats my girl!

JGif was at Mima and PopPop's house while Mike and I were at the ultrasound. After the appointment I called him to tell him the news. Mima took a picture of him on the phone during the big reveal.

Here is how our conversation went:

Me: Hi Jack! It's me, mommy.
Jack: SO???
Me: SO ... what?
Jack: Did the doctor tell you what it is OR NOT!?!?!
(he gets his patience from his father)
Me: Yep. It's a girl!
Jack: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. MIMA! POPO! I'm gonna have a baby SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!

SO excited. SO adorable. I hope he's still that excited about her when she's older and trying to play with his toys.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! I am thankful for my amazing (and growing!) family and friends. Also I am thankful for Taco Bell. Yo quiero Taco Bell.

Thanksgiving pics coming tomorrow(ish).
