Baby Makes Three: It's a.....

Friday, Brad and I went to the doctor for the BIG ultrasound! We got to see the baby standing on its head, and kicking its feet, and its hands clasped together. It also weighed in at 13 ounces, which the doctor said was right on track. It was such an amazing thing to see. We decided not to find out the sex in the doctor's office. We had plans for our families to come over that night so we could all find out together by cutting into a cake. If the icing inside the cake was pink, it would be a girl. If it was blue, it would be a boy.

When it was time for the ultrasound tech to tell us the sex, we asked her write it on a sheet of paper and seal it up. Then Brad called the baker and we stepped out of the room while she told her what color icing it would be. Since our appointment was at 11:00 am, the rest of the day went by so SLOWLY!!!

My parents, Brad's parents, grandparents, and Brad's sister and brother in law were supposed to be at our house that night at 7. Most everyone was there by six thirty, so we had to wait for the longest 30 minutes ever to cut the cake. Here is a picture of the cake before we cut it:

And here is a picture of me cutting the cake, and everyone finding out whether we had a little girl or boy on the way:

You can barely make it out, but the icing is PINK!!! IT'S A GIRL!!!! Everyone seemed to be pretty excited, even all the men who I think were secretly hoping for a boy. :)

Saturday, while I was at work (yes, I had to work on a Saturday to make up one of the snow days we had had earlier this year), Brad and my mom worked on a closet system for the nursery. Here is the finished product. I think it came out perfectly!!

Saturday afternoon, Brad and I had to go shopping and start getting ready for our little girl, and bought her some little (and I mean LITTLE) clothes. Here is a picture of all the onesies we got her, as well as a bib that Brad picked out. We actually already had a few little baby hangers (I used to use to hang pants on before I discovered pant hangers) and we hung the onesies in the closet.

Once she gets some real clothes, and we get some furniture in the nursery, we will probably take them out of the closet and put them in drawers. But for now, her closet has some clothes in it. We are so lucky, blessed, and excited that all of you are able to join in and be a part of this time in our lives. We can't wait for everyone to meet our daughter when she finally arrives!
