IT'S A GIRL!!!

So this past week has been amazing. There were even a couple of bad moments, but I didn't let them change my mood :)  Tuesday we found out we were having a baby girl. Jared was thrilled! We kind of already knew it but the ultrasound confirmed it. On Wednesday my car smelled like gasoline so into the shop it went. On Thursday night, Jared was able to feel her kick for the first time. That was such a magical moment. Then on Friday on my way home I got pulled over for speeding...BOO!  But thankfully was let off with a warning. So Saturday rolls around and I'm able to FINALLY get my nails and toes done with Kim and she helped me get the perfect picture to reveal the gender to my parents. A huge shout out to KIM!!!

Saturday afternoon I told my brother in law and sister it was girl. Before they flipped the picture over they both said "we think it's a boy". Saturday night we surprised Jared's mom and Donnie by showing up at their house with the gift in hand. They were dead set that we were having a boy so it was tons of fun to see the expression when they realized it was a girl. Sunday I spent the day with my mom then dinner with my mom, dad, sister, brother in law, nephew, brother, and Jared. This is where we revealed to my parents who were also dead set it was a boy. Apparently I was saying "he" before the baby's gender was revealed so that automatically made them think I was slipping up. Everyone was shocked, yet excited. That was so much fun and I would suggest it to any of my friends :)  My parents of course are ecstatic because they went from no grandchildren to two in less than 8 months and one is a boy and one will be a girl.
