Hot Pink Frilly Bows or Baby Blue Nikes?!?!?

Butterflies were fluttering faster and faster in my stomach during the moments leading up to our doctor's appointment on Tuesday, July 20th. I couldn't sit still in the waiting room, I was on the verge of chitter chatting because of cold jitters from the AC being super low and trying my hardest to wait patiently until my name was called. I kept on making small talk with my hubby and momma who came along to hear first-hand the sex of baby BEE!!!! As we walk into the room, I quickly pop on the bed, pull my shirt up to show my baby bump and look at the radiologist specialist like "let's get this road on the show"! 5 minutes into the u/s the radiologist says, "well, I think it's a girl" and I say "what do you mean, you think?"! He said he wanted to finish performing the u/s before he determined the sex. Ugh, it felt like the longest 45 minutes, but soon after he checked the baby's organs, heart, femur bone, brain, little toes, and feet...the verdict was announced! Yet, there were lots of "double-checks", but the radiologist confirmed that it is certainly a LITTLE GIRL! Daddy's smile was ear to ear and his heart filled with more love in a matter of minutes. It feels so good to say she is OUR little princess!

I couldn't get out of my doctor's office any quicker. First stop to shop was Marshall's where we found lots of cute pink outfits, two of which daddy picked out and is so proud of, pink Nike bibs, and little pink oh-so soft socks. Second stop was the mall to find my diaper bag at Coach. Unfortunately, the one I wanted was sold out so we held off (not for too long, lol). Gymboree was next where we picked out the CUTEST one-piece bathing suit for next summer for only $5.00! I'm a bargain shopper, especially when hubby and the Oma to-be tags along. TJ Maxx came next. We found two other outfits for our sweet little baby girl that we can't wait to see her in! The three...I mean FOUR of us had a nice lunch at Chilli's where I ran into my good friend from high school, Christy Gwizdowski. She just had a baby girl almost a year ago...my how much we've grown! After lunch, we ran into Babies 'R Us for a quit pit stop and $26.00 later with only two beanies and an adorable pair of silver ballet shoes, I thought we were done for the day! I was exhausted. Being on my feet all day for hours on end, does a toll on a pregnant woman's body. Whew!

So here it is gals and guys ~ HOT PINK FRILLY BOWS for our little princess!

Photos of our day are forthcoming. XOXO!

The first "real" kicks! ~ 7/1/10

I'm on cloud nine right now...

Tonight was the very first night I felt the baby KICK! Lately, there has been lots of movement/waves, but actually feeling the baby kick me (gently 3 times in a row) is an INCREDIBLE feeling. The kicks weren't too strong, but gentle taps below my belly button and you could even see my belly slightly move. AHHHH-MAZING!
