Sorry for the wait...

Oh my goodness, we’re so sorry it took so long to update you all on our exciting news, if you haven’t heard yet…It’s a GIRL!
We couldn’t be more thrilled. However, I was convinced Spot was a boy. I kept asking the ultrasound tech if she was sure and how accurate the reading was. I think she was a little insulted, but I was in shock. The good kind of course!
The first thing Matt said as we walked out of the doctor’s office was, “OK, we’ll have a Michigan softball player. Or soccer, or basketball.” I told him basketball was probably the least likely given the fact that I am the shortest person on BOTH sides of our families. I didn’t want to burst his bubble too badly by reminding him that I am also the least athletic person on both sides of our families…
The first thing I did was immediately go to the store and look for pink outfits. 
Since then, we’ve been hard at work preparing for our little girl. We met my parents for lunch the Saturday following the ultrasound, so they got to hear the news in person and see the first baby photos where she actually looks like a baby. I was really proud of my mom for waiting and extra 2.5 days after the appointment to hear the news. I thought for sure she would be calling me that night. When we arrived at the restaurant that was, of course, the first thing they wanted to hear. Shortly after, they gave Matt his birthday card, but before he could open it, I had a bag of baby goodies in front of me to open as well. Sorry, Matt, but that won’t be the last time you are upstaged by baby stuff.  Mom and Dad were also generous enough to purchase our first BIG baby item – the crib. We can’t thank them enough!
Our family has had some other VERY exciting news this week, I found out I am getting another Sister-In-Law!  My brother proposed to his beautiful girlfriend, Jenna this week. We couldn’t be happier for them.
This weekend we are headed to St. James to spend time with my family, and I have it on good authority there will be Grandma Pascoe chicken and dumplings involved…exactly what this baby has been craving ALL WEEK.

22 Weeks

A little blurry, but you get the idea.

 Our little GIRL!

 That's her arm

I celebrated by buying baby girl clothes and making pink cupcakes (one of the things this little girl has been craving.)
