Week 20: IT'S A.....

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

After a very long work week, we finally got to find out today that we are having a baby girl!! Jerry says he'll be balding and going gray faster now! lol  We wanted to make the gender announcement fun and exciting for everyone and we wanted to include our first babies in it as well.  As you can see Winston is a typical boy and does not like to hold still or want his picture taken.  We put little pink bows in Nala's hair and she smiled for the camera as usual!  She gets groomed on Monday but unfortunately I couldn't wait that long to post this picture; especially since my whole family would kill me for waiting to tell them that long! 

Baby girl looks cute already and I can't wait to finally meet her in just another 20 weeks! We're HALF WAY THERE!!! Can you believe it!?!?  She's got a cute little button nose, and we think she's going to have Daddy's nose hehe... (I'll be posting some of the ultra sound pictures; either later today or in the next few days, we have to scan them first)... She weighed in at 11 ounces, 14.3 cm, and her heart rate was 152!  We think she's going to be tall too!! Her little legs were just moving and kicking like crazy; they were so long!  I hope she's not short like her mama lol!  I told the ultra sound technician that part of me can't wait to actually feel a kick, but that the other part of me is like "oh no! she's a big kicker!" 

Since we don't have any family or friends here to have one of those sweet gender reveal parties, Jerry and I are going to be baking this weekend to take a gender cake to our co-workers.  Just gives me an excuse to bake and not have to eat it all! lol I love baking and I'm excited for everyone to start finding out what we're having; now everyone can stop guessing! :)
