20wks and Big U/S

It has been far to long since I updated my blog (or read any others for that matter). So here goes!

Friday we had our Big U/S and found out to our complete shock we are having a little girl! Steve and I were both convinced we were having a little boy so it took a while to sink in. Once it did, we embraced her and are loving life! We are still deciding on a middle name but her first name will be Samantha, a name I have always loved!

So here are a couple pics to explain our weekend! I hit the 20 week mark on Saturday, here is my 20 week belly...

(I had a little pink bow on my belly because that's how I told a couple friends!)

My mom was very excited to find out what the baby was, she knew we were convinced of a boy but she really wanted a girl! I made her a cake...

(She was very excited!)

And for my MIL because she is diabetic and can't have cake I gave her this...

Much to my surprise she started crying, which made me start crying! It was a nice reaction!

All in all, life has been good just very very busy! Steve made a deal with the landlord to get us new carpet and flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms so we are doing a temporary move out of our apartment and in to the 1 bedroom next door (we'll have fun cramming everything in)! The plus, I can't procrastinate on the nursery anymore!
