Well, folks, she’s a girl!
Michael had really been SURE it was a girl since the beginning (as had most of my immediate family). I was completely indecisive and had no mother’s intuition whatsoever. We’d decided beforehand we’d go out to lunch to celebrate–BBQ if it was a boy, Cheesecake Factory if it was a girl. I loved my Cheesecake Factory lunch and we had a fun time doing some preliminary shopping finally for baby.
We were both THRILLED to see our sweet baby girl in all her ultrasound glory this morning. She was healthy and everything seems to be formed correctly, for which we were both incredibly grateful. I was so relieved to see her heart beating so strongly and to count fingers, toes, and heart chambers. So far, all seems well, and we can hardly believe it.
So now on to nursery decorating and projects galore! Thank you so much for the well-wishes. We are over-the-moon excited and can’t wait to meet her!
Yay! She’s going to be a doll!
Hurray for a girl!!! Little girls have some of the funnest things and the cutest names… I am so excited to see everything that you come up with for her!
P.S. For some reason I think that we share at least one top baby name… I think. Can’t be positive though 😉
congratulations!
Yay! Little girls are great…if I do say so myself. And from what I can tell they are a lot more fun to shop and throw showers for. Congratulations!
Hooray! Girls are so fantastic!
Congratulations Emily, that is so cool. I’m a reader from Utah and have been following you for a while. I was so excited to find out you were pregnant, and even more excited that we we’re due within a couple of days of eachother. I will find out the gender of my baby next week. So glad everything is looking good for your little one, and thanks for brightening up my days and giving me some great recipes to try! Making your minestrone soup right now 🙂
Emily, I couldn’t be happier for you and Michael. Congratulations! You will make wonderful parents to your sweet little girl. Please keep us in the loop on all your fantastic decorating!
I knew it was a girl! She is going to be so adorable and I am sure her nursery will be too! I am going to send you a small something soon, so be expecting it! yay!
Congrats on the baby girl! That is such exciting news…I can’t wait to see how you decorate the nursery!
Soooo exciting! How I remember those days when we found out what we were going to have. happy shopping!
How exciting! I am so happy for you 🙂
Woo hoo! So great! We’re so glad our babies will be so close in age AND the same gender. Yay for girl cousins! Maybe you could just do two of everything as far as nursery stuff goes and give the duplicates to me. Just kidding, but I can dream, can’t I? Congrats again. We’re thrilled for you!
We are so excited for you. What a wonderful family she has chosen to join. I love your blog. You are amazing.
Congratulations on your baby girl! She will be adorable!
If you want to learn how to make bows and ever make it up to the Chandler area there is a great little ribbon store called Ribbons and Lace that does classes. http://www.ribbonsnlace.com/
That’s where I learned and am sooo thankful I did. SO much cheaper to make your own than to buy 🙂
OH and I am beyond excited for you 🙂 hehe little girls are way way way too much fun and I agree with Alyssa I can’t wait to see what you make up for her 🙂
Congratulations!! What exciting news! Girls really are a lot of fun. And a lot of drama. 🙂 (My first 2 are girls.)
I saw the recommendation for Ribbons and Lace in an earlier comment. So, just in case you don’t make it to Chandler, I’ll recommend Ribbons and Bows, Oh My! (rabom.com) They have fantastic prices and quite a great selection. Let the bow making begin!
CONGRATS! So exciting! Bring on the Pink! 🙂
Yay! Girls are great! I’m super happy for you.
Yay! Girls are fun! Especially for crafty Mommies like you!! Enjoy!
