I haven’t told you yet… Ok I feel like I’ve been shouting it out to the ENTIRE world but if you didn’t know yet, I’M HAVING A BABY GIRL! I still can’t believe it. I thought for sure I was having a boy. I mean, in the beginning I thought I was having a girl because that’s what both our moms thought, what I felt, what my husband felt, and what I was dreaming about (literally and figuratively).

I think the fact that I pretty much out and said that I wanted a girl made a lot of people think I was having a boy. After all it would be ironic. Me, the girliest girl you’ll meet, favorite color pink, pregnant with a boy!

I had a 50/50 chance so I prepared myself for a boy. I browsed for boy clothing, searched for boy bedding, and even got a few “blue things.” But when the tech pointed the ultrasound wand directly to my little Spawnie’s bum sticking straight in the air I knew my dreams were coming true. She confirmed my hopeful wishes when she said “It’s a girl!”

I’ve already bought more than 15 dresses… Yes, 15. I know people say not to because you’ll get so much stuff as gifts, but that’s why I’ve been varying the sizes according seasons! I feel like a pro already.

It all feels more real now. I’m so much more excited to be having a daughter. There’s more of a face with the idea of my child now, an actual person tied to my emotions. More care in my day, more thought in what I eat, how I take care of myself… Take care of US! It’s not an “it” anymore, it’s a “she” it’s a “mine!” My baby girl! My daughter.
