All About Baby

There is definitely a baby in there!



After being sick for 4 months, I am finally starting to gain weight! My belly popped in the past month to prove it :) My doctor told me that I should be gaining more weight because I don't have a net weight gain, until I reminded her that I lost weight the first couple months. Then she looked again and noted that I had gained 8 pounds in the past month, so I'm getting back on track!

We had our big ultrasound a couple weeks ago, and the baby checked out to be perfectly healthy. We had the ultrasound technician write down the baby's gender and put it in an envelope. We then gave the envelope to our neighbor and waited ALL DAY to find out that night if it was a boy or a girl. We invited over all the neighbors to share in the excitement. Paty walked in with a very impressive cake revealing a baby girl :) The kids didn't quite get it then, but by now they understand that a new baby sister will be joining us this summer. And they are so excited!

Here is the little girl we are so excited to meet!



And her perfect little foot:



Last weekend Madison had a huge children's consignment sale, and I gathered up some odds and ends to sell there. I still don't know how much I made yet, but I'm hoping it's more than what I spent at the sale :) In between that sale and our incredibly generous neighbors, we are set with all the basics for this baby, even though we had given away everything baby except for the crib that Rowan is still currently sleeping in. Even so, I've had fun making a baby registry at a website for a store here in Madison. It's been fun looking at all the cute odds and ends that we could buy for this little girl :) No clothes on the list though, because our adorable neighbor Coraline has provided enough clothes to keep this baby in style for sure. We probably even have enough in case twin girls happen to pop out ;D
