{ULTRASOUND!}

We are so excited to be having another baby! I am due in April and am excited to have a baby in the spring. I was sick until my 14 week mark and ever since then I have been feeling great. Ruffin and Gracee have said the entire time I have been pregnant that it is a little girl, Emme on the other hand says girl one minute and boy the next. I wasn't sure so I kept telling Ruffin that it was going to be a boy.

Today was the big day of our ultrasound! I woke up this morning at 6 o'clock wishing I had scheduled the appointment at 8 o'clock. I tried to keep myself busy until 2:30 and was anxious all morning. I told Gracee we were going to the doctor and they would tell us if our baby was a boy or girl. Gracee got really serious and said to me "mom, we go there and I tell the lady it a GIRL!"

We got to the doctor's office 15 minutes early and then had to wait for awhile... It seemed like an hour but we only waited 15 or 20 minutes. We told the lady who does the ultrasound all about Gracee and how she was convinced that it was a little girl.

I didn't even have time to look at the computer screen when Ruffin shouted "IT'S A GIRL!!" I was sure that he was just joking but sure enough the first thing that came up when she looked at our baby was the three lines. Just to be sure I asked if what we were seeing was what we thought it was and she said "It's a girl alright."

A couple of minutes later Gracee looked up from the doctor's swivel chair and said "Mommy it a girl?" She had been completely oblivious to the fact that it had been announced twice already because she was having too much fun with the chair. (on a side note~ On our last visit I had been telling Gracee to get off the doctor's chair and when the doctor came he told her she could play on it all she wanted and could even roll it down the hall if she wanted... So needless to say it is pretty hard to keep her off the chair when she has the doctor's permission:)
So when I told Gracee that it was in fact a girl she said in a very proud voice "I was right and you lose mommy."

Ruffin is feeling really out numbered but couldn't be happier to be having another little girl! I am so excited to have another little girl to dress in pink, make bows for, paint her nails, and all the other fun stuff I do with my girls! Gracee and Emme are thrilled to be having a little sister and will be such good big sisters!

Today has been a great day! I really can't express how happy and excited we are!
