What a whirlwind of a weekend! I just got back home, house still isn't 60 degrees yet...brrrr!

I have to start with Friday night. I couldn't sleep a wink. I had been very unbiased about gender until that night and then all of a sudden I started to have all these feelings of "my last chance for a girl". I was really anxious all night, I was teary eyed because I felt a little guilty for feeling that way.

We went to the u/s with me having 1 hour of sleep which made the anxiety of what it was going to be even worse. My was convinced it was a girl and I was so worried that if they said boy she would say something and then make me cry. It's never been this emotional before, I think the sleep deprivation just made it worse.

When she started to look for gender I couldn't hardly breath and even felt myself shaking a little. I had no idea how much I was hoping for a girl, I could hardly see because of the tears in my eyes, Donnie holding and sqeezing my hand made it even worse. Guilt is a terrible thing. So anyhow, this is what we saw:

Immediately tears were streaming down both sides of my face. I wanted to bawl right there. It was all I could do to control myself, all of a sudden I just wanted to be alone because I wanted to cry so bad (a positive cry). If the u/s tech wasn't blocking the view of my mom I'm sure I would have truly broke down. I felt like I won the lottery. Donnie had tears streaming too, it was so touching.

Here are a couple more pictures. The first one is her hugging the placenta and the second is about the best one we got of her face. I didn't think the pictures were the best but she was so nestled in there it was hard to get a good view. Most of the time both her hands were in front of her face.





So we went shopping when it was all done! I spent about $300 on girly stuff. The tech said "without a doubt" it's a girl. We saw every view from every angle. I know it's still not a 100% but chances of being wrong with two kids are slim (though I did hear of it happening once). I'm going to take my chances and just go with it. Seeing it on 2D AND 3D really helped it be convincing.

So there you have it, it's a GIRL! We are probably going to name her Ella Christine. Ella is my sister's, mom's and great-grandmother's middle name, Christine is my middle name.

I'm just excited I just feel like I'm going to burst!
