It's a....

 

 

To say I am shocked would be an understatment.

I think I've felt all along that it was a girl, but never really accepted it.

I am carrying so similar to Easton.  Low and out front.  No real symptoms at all.

Her heart rate has remained consistent of what Easton's measured.

So I guess all the wives tales are really just that...tales.

 

But.  It's a girl!

 

As I lay there on the bed, Lance sitting at the foot of the bed and Easton standing on a step stool watching the ultrasound tech's every move, I was certain she would say it was a boy.

 

She started with the head and worked towards the feet, saving the NEWS for last.

 

At first glance at our baby, Lance said 'that's a little girl head'.

 

We continue down through the anatomy and sure enough, he was right.

She couldn't get a good picture for 'proof' but it was indeed a girl.

 

Lance was all smiles.

 

It took some time for it to soak in with Easton.

He looked at me, eye to eye when I told him that she just said it was a sister and said

"no, I wanted a brother."

We'd called her Levi for weeks now...yet suddenly, she wasn't a Levi afterall.

The tears ran down my face quicker than I could help.

I had visions of 2 little shaved heads riding around in the Gator, playing baseball, fishing.

 

But HE had better plans for our family.

 

Now, one of each.

A BOY AND a GIRL!

A little sister for Easton to look after.  To take care of.  To protect.

I always wanted a big brother my whole life, and now this little girl will have what I always wanted.

And he's gonna do a fabulous job at being her big brother.

 

I can't wait to see what these next few weeks hold for us.

Picking her name.

Deciding on nursery decor.

Letting it sink in that I can finally shop from the cute girl section at Target.

 

Stats for the memory book:

My BP: 102/66

Her heart rate: 148

 

There were a few things they wanted to monitor, but all things that they expect to correct themselves or show differently on the next ultrasound.  So, in 2 weeks, we'll see her again.

Hoping for a sweet little profile picture to see who she looks like!

 

Vacation is just around the corner!

So much excitement going on over here!
