Baby Girl!


we found out yesterday that we are having a baby girl!
insane, we're so excited
she will be a little daddy's girl as evidence from this summer
we spent a lot of time with lydia's girls
brandon loved to dote on them and play with them all of the time
he and roxy even went on a little date once
roxanne convinced him to get her a pair of sunglasses and he surprised her with a happy meal
she was talking about it for the rest of her summer
for a long time i didn't let myself have a preference
but i was so excited to eventually have a girl
painting nails, custom bows for her hair (bald newborn head), tiny tiny bracelets
all of those simple pleasures
yet we are also not as into the pink fru fru look, we prefer purple...haha
brandon can't wait to paint her nursery
we've been brainstorming about butterflies
we'll post pictures when we decide and do it
this is the inspiration
everything else seems great and healthy with her
they are doing a few blood tests and that sort of thing
my new doctor seems wonderful
his name is Dr Judd and he is really personable and from sacramento area originally
he kept cracking jokes and doing random comparisons
like how my insides are being squeezed like a toothpaste tube
he gave me something for my acid reflux which had been bugging me
so hopefully that helps
other than that i feel less and less prego and look more and more prego
i've had the first few experiences with friends touching my belly
all is well here
loves
