It's a girl!!

Tony & I after the news and a long day of baby stuff!! Her hands are by her head and possibly sucking her thumb!


Isn't she cute?!? :)

We went to the doctor today for our 4th appointment. I weighed 125 lbs., which means I gained 5 lbs. this month! The doctor measured me at 20cm. One I was done with my doctors appointment we went downstairs to have a sonogram. I drank a lot of water because I needed to have a full bladder. Well, it was full alright. I almost wet my pants in the waiting room! I also drank a little coke to hopefully increase her movement for a better view, but no luck. She was sleeping the whole time!! They took lots of pictures and measurements. The sonographer said that her private area looked flat and there were no "turtles," or boy parts showing. She is pretty confident it's a girl, but her legs were crossed the whole time!! This is the second sonogram we have had with her legs crossed, but at least the gender has been the same each time. I just hope no boy parts pop out on the next one!!  She weighs 11 ounces, not far from a pound!!  Tony got to see all the pictures and measurements with me. He said he knew what he was looking at before she told us! 
After our sonogram we went to register at Babies R Us. WOW!! There are so many things to register for. We were in there for about 3 hours! You can go online to view our registry. If you see anything that we forgot that is a necessity, please let me know. We can add and delete items at any time. After that, we went to Wal-Mart to register, but they only had one scanner and it was being used. We will try to register there next week. We don't have nursery colors or theme yet because I still haven't decided on baby bedding. I know what I want, but it's a matter of finding the material to make it! I am pretty sure it's going to be light pink and brown though.
 Now that I know it's a girl I am on the hunt for her name!! I have one in mind that I REALLY like and Tony likes as well (initials would be KBM), but I want to make sure it is "the one" before I announce it!! Once it's on here, there is no going back!! ;) 
Well, I think that is everything. My next appointment is scheduled on June 3rd. Until next time...
