On Wednesday, June 2, Lance and I went for our anatomy scan and 18 week appointment. The ultrasound was WONDERFUL! I never could tell much from other people's ultrasound pictures but I guess when it is your own, you can see everything! I, of course, cried the whole time. The tech showed us her heart, stomach, head, etc...everything looked great! She was so active during the ultrasound (thanks to the diet coke I had right before we went in). Towards the end of the scan she started to look for signs of the gender. She said "I see an equal sign (I knew what that meant :) ). Yup, it's a girl-I am 99.9999 % sure." I started crying so hard that she stopped the scan for a about a minute. The tech kept saying "She's healthy and perfect." I was so happy to hear that! We got some great pictures. She kept her hands above her head mostly which was so cute. In one picture it looks like she is sucking her thumb and in another she's pulling her ear. She is also very flexible because she had her feet over her head several times. We are already so in love with our DAUGHTER!
After the scan we had about 30 minutes until my appointment with the doctor so we made a few phone calls and texts to let everyone know we were having a girl. Most people said "I KNEW IT!" Everyone was so excited!! My doctor's appointment was routine-nothing special. She was happy that I finally gained some weight which shocked me...but I'll take it!
Then we went to lunch and shopping for baby stuff! We ended up getting a crib and dresser/changing table combo at buy buy Baby. On the way home we stopped at a little boutique where I had seen several diaper bags I wanted. Since we knew it was a girl I really wanted to buy SOMETHING just for a girl-so I did :). Afterwards we stopped by Lance's mom's house to show her the pictures. She had already gone out and bought Laci two cute outfits for next summer! When we got home our friend Mike came over and helped Lance put the furniture away. (We just couldn't wait!!) My mom also stopped by to bring Laci a Feltmen Brothers dress for her to come home from the hospital in. I was so excited!!
Now that we know we have a daughter on the way we will be busy buying lots and lots of pink things! This weekend Lindsay and I are going to register, but I am sure we will end up buying more than I register for! haha
