Pretty in Pink!

Sorry to the majority of you who voted "boy" on the poll but we found out yesterday that we are indeed having a GIRL! Troy & I were both a bit shocked I think. Don't get me wrong, we're happy with the news that we're having a girl. I had just always assumed that we would have a boy. Everyone always said they could see us having a bunch of little boys like Troy. An idea which I quite liked because, well, I married him so I kinda like him and thought it would be cute to have little mini-Troys. But now we're switching gears and getting ready for all things girl! I am excited about the shopping and cute clothes and all that stuff. :)

Here are a few updates & answers to FAQs:

- I still feel great!
- Baby looks really good according to the doctor. She's currently breech (actually, she's basically horizontal) but I'm sure that will change.
- I still don't think I've felt her moving around yet. A couple of times I thought maybe but nothing strong or consistent yet. I know she is though because we saw her rolling around and stretching yesterday!
- I'm fine except they said I have placenta previa. It shouldn't be a big deal and usually corrects itself as the pregnancy progresses. The upside is I get to have another peek at Baby Girl at 28 weeks.
- No, we do not have a name picked out. I want to see the baby and see if the name fits before we start putting it out there. Also, some people (no names) feel the need to offer their opinions and we don't really want to deal with all of that. I mean, if we've taken the time to pick out a name that is special to us and that we think we want to name our first-born, please don't ruin it by saying that you don't like it (probably because that girl who stole your lucky pencil in the 3rd grade had that name). Please keep this in mind around others who are pregnant and pass it on. You're welcome. ;)

I'm sorry I don't have the pics of our little girl to post yet but Troy's got to the get scanner working (it appears to not be compatible with Windows 7 so he'll get that straightened out).

Thank you so much for all of the prayers & well wishes!! It really means a lot to us and we're excited to get to share this experience with everyone. We are so so excited about becoming parents and can't wait to meet our girl. :)

Aw I know what you mean about thinking of little mini-Troys (I admit to having pictured a mini-Jon or two), but I have to second Shay's comment because I never knew I really wanted a girl till I had one!!! You will LOVE it I promise. (And Troy will love having a mini-Holly ;)
