Tickled Pink


I have been putting this post off because I wanted to be very sure that...
IT'S A GIRL!

We went for a 15 week appointment where the doctor mentioned that we might be able to see what we were working with here.  So Blake and I had been discussing if we wanted to know the sex or if we wanted to find out with our family.  For a whole month we thought we would do a small gathering with immediate family and  all find out together.  However, it was killing me.  I woke up the morning of the appointment so anxious I couldn't even stand it!  Blake and I talked it over and still hadn't made a decision in the elevator at the doctor's office.  So there we were, staring at our little peanut and the doctor asked.. "so, do you want to know the sex?"  With absolutely NO hesitation Blake says "YES!"  

Dr. Campbell described the parts and we nodded even though we really weren't too sure what he was pointing at.  He was 90% sure it was a GIRL.  For me 90% is basically 100%.. For Blake this means that there are still 10 percents unanswered ;)  

We were so excited to break the news to our family two days later.  My sister is due with a GIRL just 5 weeks before us so it was a pretty special moment!  Kaylee and I are very close, though 6 years difference in age, and we pray that these sweet GIRLS will share the same bond as their mommy's do!  

That was all 3 weeks ago!  Today we went for an appointment at the hospital that our doctor scheduled.  He called it a full bladder, or full anatomy ultrasound.  Blake and I weren't too sure what to expect.. I mean how many different ultrasounds are there?!  A sweet lady explained that some doctors like to look at ALL of the baby's parts.  And I do mean ALL!  She measured all the bones, belly, head, organs, all of it.. and it all looked great!  We are now just about 18 weeks and she said it was definitely still a GIRL!  She is getting so big and still extremely active in there.  We laughed at several of the techs comments, but just to name a couple.. "She is in the weirdest positions!", "That is her knee.. next to her chin!"  Must be taking after mommy!

Gabriella Grace Brannon and Caroline Kayte Roznovsky,
I love you both to pieces already!  We all can't wait to meet you two!
