Pink!

Jacob and I went to my 18 week ultrasound today and it was reaffirmed to me what I've felt all along; we're having a little girl! I'm so excited and relieved that my instincts weren't completely off. I had 4 dreams when I first got pregnant that I was holding my little girl. Anyone who knows me knows that my baby dreams are like 95% accurate. I had a dream my mom had a girl before we even knew she was pregnant with Hannah. I had a dream my sister had a girl before I even knew SHE was pregnant. So I thought "If I have THIS many dreams that it's a girl, and it's a boy, my whole psyche will be thrown off." Luckily that didn't happen, and little E. is on her way. (I don't want to tell her name to the world until she's born, but we'll just say I've got a name selected!) The doc said she looks just right size-wise and all her major organs are functioning as they should be, which is always good to hear. And her heartbeat was 160bpm, which they said was right on track.

I just have to say, that it's one of the most amazing things to see your baby in an ultrasound. She kept covering her face with her hands, and squirming around so we didn't really get a good profile shot, but I had tears in my eyes when we saw her little arms and legs moving, and her little heart beating. I'm so happy that the Lord has blessed us with this little girl, and I already love her more than I ever thought possible. Here's to the next 5 months! (We'll see how much I love her when she's kicking me in the ribs and I can FEEL it. :) )
