Today is the day….so excited. Josh & I both took the day off, so we could relax and enjoy the doctor visit.

Dr. Vargas was out of town, so we met with the pediatric nurse. She let me know that I had gained 5 pounds so far, which is a bit under for most women at 20 weeks. (I took that as a good sign!). Afterwards, we went to have the ultrasound. The technician gave us the news…we were having a little girl.

Josh was so excited – – he admitted from the beginning that he really wanted a girl. Although he would have been happy either way, he really wanted a girl for our first baby. At this appointment, I found myself starting to get excited. This was the first time for me. Up to this point, I had been very hesitant to let myself get excited. I was always worried that something might be wrong.

We left elated and couldn’t wait to call our family and friends to share the good news!
