First of all, I have to say...it is finally hitting me..."This is REALLY happening!" I've had a hard time beliving this isn't all a dream, but everyday it is becoming more and more real to me!
I could have put money on it that we were having a boy, me and everyone else, but my mind was changed on my birthday. I woke up that specific day and told Kyle it was a girl. She visited me in my dream, we were still in the hospital and I was holding her. She had dark skin, dark eyes, and dark hair like me. Her name in my dream was Janie. It was so REAL that I knew right then and there it had to be a girl. I can still see her...it still makes me smile! :)
Well...I had to wait, of course, until our next appointment on February 28th. Luckily, we had scheduled our gender scan for that day...I don't think I could've waited any longer! We have been so lucky to have gotten an ultrasound at every appointment so far...including our next one on March 27th (anatomy scan.) I fully expect it to slow down after 20 weeks, but hey, I'll take any little peek I can get! Our last appointment went great! All of the tests we did came back totally normal, which eased a lot of anxiety. We also found out that we are having a sweet baby GIRL! Her name is Langley Taylor Walton and I'm getting more and more anxious everyday to meet her! Well, we had been planning on doing birthday celebrations in the family at some point in time, so we decided to have that celebration at our house and add a 'gender reveal' celebration to the mix! It was so fun! We had our family dress in either pink or blue based on their guesses of what the baby would be...check out the pics below to see how it all played out:
Needless to say, everyone voted blue, but in the end...pink was the winner! We had a lot of fun with this!
It was especially fun watching person after person walk in wearing blue! In the end everyone was excited to see the big reveal:
before... after...
Since then, we've had a lot of fun picking out little girl things. Langley already has mommy & daddy wrapped around her little finger!
Since spring break has started, I've done a lot of cleaning, organizing, and getting rid of. It's been tiring but so worth it in the end! My kitchen is totally decluttered and organized and Langley's room is emptied and all of the stuff is reorganized. Tomorrow 'the crew' is coming to help out with painting since I'm trying to stay away from the fumes, the furniture will be delivered tomorrow evening, and bedding should be here Thursday! Yay!
Right now I am 18.5 weeks...here are a few pics of Langley growing...she's starting to 'bump' out! I'll take another at 20 weeks. :)
15 weeks: 17 weeks:
So, I know this is a little scattered and a little random, but then again, that's how I've been these days! It's been a whirlwind of fun and excitement and I wouldn't have it any other way!
So thankful for my family and my life!
