Results are in - Boy or Girl?

The moment has finally arrived. I am 20 weeks and had my corresponding ultrasound appointment. Days before the appointment I was getting really anxious. I know it's silly but the first time I didn't feel any pressure since I knew I would have a couple kids, but now that we have James I really hoped for a little girl. 

Most people said that it's a girl since this pregnancy has been so different from my experience carrying James. I think that hyped up my expectation, however at the appointment I had no gut feeling and neither did Adit. 

Once I got on the table we knew the moment had come. The technican did a few routine checks then I told her that I was dying to find out. She showed us a clear shot and said she can tell with 99% certainty what it is. I thought ok another boy and said that. Adit disagreed and said it was a girl and the technician confirmed it was a girl. Adit had done some internet research beforehand so he knew what to look for. 

I was so excited and happy! I wanted a little girl and now we will have one. I can't wait to dress her up in frilly dresses and bows! It's going to be so much fun. We told James when we were home that night and he said that he will take care of the baby. He said he'll dress the baby in pajamas and put her to sleep in his firetruck bed and he will sleep in my bed! Lol! Well at least someone's got it figured out! 

I am already stressed about the short maternity time we get here. I get about 4.5 months off, mind you mostly unpaid, then I have to find suitable childcare. If prefer a nanny with such a small baby, but finding one where I live might be a challenge. Keep your fingers crossed for me. 

Anyway I'll keep you updated with my progress and anything else that peaks my interest. As always I'm still taking suggestions so if you have a topic you'd like to hear about feel free to email me! 

Happy reading!
