Another Special Day

My doctor booked me for a second ultrasound because at my first one they couldn't see the lips and nose clearly. We were excited to go back...of course hoping everything was forming properly and hoping we would be able to see the gender.

Well, it was confirmed that everything on and in our baby was forming perfectly (thank goodness) and that this baby is definitely a GIRL!!! I was not surprised by this, but Wes on the other hand had his heart set on "his boy". It took him a few minutes to adjust to the fact that "his girl" would be coming first...and now he is also really excited!!

For anyone who doesn't know...girls run rampant on my side of the family: My parents had 4 daughters, my step-dad had 2 daughters, my oldest sister is expecting her 4th daughter (10 days before I'm due), my younger sister has 2 daughters of her own and 2 step-daughters. My step-sister is expecting her 3rd daughter in January. So, our daughter is born my mother will have:

• 9 granddaughters from her 4 daughters


• 4 more granddaughters from her 2 step-daughters with 1 on the way


• 3 grandsons from her step-daughters
  

WOAH! Just wait until all these girls all hit puberty!! However, there are a lot more boys on Wes' side so this little girl will start to balance things out on that end.

We got to see her cute, chubby cheeks, fingers, and toes, and even see her yawn...or something. We didn't get a super clear shot in 4D because she kept covering her face with her hands.

A long time ago we discovered the perfect name for our little girl....

Olivia Jill

We can't wait to welcome her into the world in 8 short weeks. We love you Olivia!!
