Big update...

Wednesday right after I posted, I left work to head to the Drs office. I was set up to tour L&D at 3 and then had a Drs appointment at 3:45. When I pulled into the garage the Drs office called and said he had emergency surgery. I told them I was already there, so they shuffled some things around so I could the NP who practice is in the office. I went on my tour of L&D and then headed to my appointment.

After giving my urine specimin, I noticed I was spotting. I mentioned this to the NP when I saw her and so she did internal exam. When she finished I noticed a good amount of blood on her glove (sorry that's gross and probably TMI). She told me were were going to do a ultrasound to see what was going on.

I was excited to see the baby because I hadn't seen it since 10 weeks and 2 days. It was so cool to see it moving around and it looked so much more like a human. Everything looked fine and they thought it was probably just some cervical irritation causing the bleeding. She also said she was 99% sure what the baby was and asked me if we wanted to find out the sex...

Those are a legs, a bum and girly parts!

We're having a girl!! I was in total shock. Like seriously shocked. I have thought we were having a boy since day one. She said she was 99% sure, but because it was still kind of early to save the receipts if I went on a pink shopping spree :-)

I felt really bad that DH wasn't there with me to find out. I had told him not to come since I was just seeing the NP and I didn't realize I was spotting when we talked. I wanted to do something fun to tell him since he wasn't there. I ran to our local kids store and grabbed a really cute onsie. I had them wrap it up in neutral paper with the ultrasound picture.

DH was so excited when I got home and he opened his gift. He'd always thought we were having a girl, so he was pleasantly surprised when he opened his gift and his suspicions were confirmed!

I had also decided to make a run walmart on my way home so I could get all the supplies to tell my family in a fun way. I decided to make a shirt which I would wear on the plane the next day. So after I told DH and we celebrated together, he helped me make my shirt. Well, really he just watched and laughed at how un-artistic I am but we had fun doing it ;-) Our finished product:

On me the next morning...

(looking a bit rough because

its very early in the morning)

It was really funny to see how long it took for people to figure it out. My sister who picked us up didn't really get it at first, but my one of my other sister's got it as soon as I walked into the house we were staying at. My mom came home a little later and didn't get it at all. I finally had to ask her what she thought about my shirt and she replied "did you run a race or something?" LOL. I sent a picture text of me in the shirt to my other two sisters, who both got it right away. But when I sent it to my dad, he thought it meant we were having twins. Its funny though because DH and I thought it was so clear, since all our family knew we were going to use the name Lillian for a girl, but apparently not! Nevertheless, they were all really excited about our little girl once they figured it out!
