I still can’t believe that I am pregnant. We still can’t believe I’m pregnant. The boys are so excited and our family was definitely surprised. We’ve discovered though that even though everyone thought our baby makin’ days were over they are all really excited about having another baby around. Right now Gavin is the baby so he is also super excited that he will no longer be referred to as ‘the baby’. He will however be my baby.
On Tuesday we had my first prenatal appointment. I was so excited because we started the visit with an ultrasound! It was so amazing to see. I know I have been through two kids already but this baby is still our little miracle. I really want to enjoy all the details especially knowing that this will be my last baby.
Since I was almost 10 weeks along the baby was easy to see. Its amazing at how quickly a baby becomes a baby. We could see the little heart flickering away at 171. I know it’s still too early to tell and that the whole heart rate is a wives tale thing but I really want a girl. I love my boys to pieces but it would be so nice to end this family with a little girl. My husband is the only one in the family rooting for a boy. I think the idea of a girl scares the bajeebies out of him and likes the known. Everyone else including the boys are rooting for a girl. Of course no matter what we have we will love this little baby to pieces.
We won’t be able to find the sex out still for a little bit but seeing how we need so many things we will definitely be finding out so we can properly prepare. I don’t have anything from the boys were little. Not because I got rid of it all but because we lost our home to a fire when Gavin was little. Luckily through the past year I’ve done several baby reviews and won a few contests so I have some things set aside. Where I live we don’t do showers for any babies after your first so I know I won’t be getting one so we’re on our own. Of course that means if you are pregnant, have a little one, or planning on getting pregnant chances are you’re going to start seeing a lot of contests that will be a great fit. Of course if you aren’t don’t worry I’ll still be taking care of you too.
So exciting! Love those early ultrasound photos.
awe congrats surprises are always nice, our surprise our youngest will be 14 this year LOL. My oldest is going to be 20 in a few months and expecting our 1st grandchild. My daughter had the 3d/4d ultrasound done omg those are amazing my grandson was sucking on his big toe on it LOL. I never thought i would be a grandma before 40 but i can’t wait LOL. Girls are so much fun, very different that raising boys. We have 2 girls 1 boy. My son is the middle child. Pleasse keep your blog updated so we know how everything is going.
What a great picture – congrats!! With Lulu, her heart rate – even at 12 weeks – was always above 165 or so…I hope you are TEAM PINK also!! Little girls are so much fun!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!
I wonder when your little darling will mention it.
Congratulations! My daughter had a ‘surprise’ baby when her two boys were 9 and 7. The third was a girl – so what a surprise that was too. That baby has been so much fun. It’s been awhile since we have had a tiny one around so we have just been enjoying every moment. It’s a wonderful blessing.
Good luck to you.

That is so exciting! We don’t usually do showers after the first baby, but given your circumstances I hope someone throws you one!!
Congrats! I hope you get your girl, we raised 4 girls and 1 boy, I was wishing for boys.. now that the grandkids are arriving, I seem to have gotten my wish of a lot of boys
Congrats!!! It seems like everyone is pregnant or having a baby right now! LOL How nice to already be able to see the baby, even if it is just a sonogram pic. 🙂
Jennifer, I am so happy for you I could burst!! I know that seeing this ultrasound is a dream come true for you and I am really excited for this next chapter! I can’t wait to hear more and especially see the new teeny tiny babe!! YAY!!
I’m so happy things are going well for you and the baby, and that you have such a wonderful support system surrounding you 🙂
My fingers are crossed for a girl, too, but like you said, this baby will be loved either way regardless!
I was wondering if you were going to do pregnancy updates!
Seriously so excited for us. This is our last baby too and what a miracle it is.
