So in love...

I am just in awe of this little girl in my tummy, and of God who created her so perfectly, like He did all of us. Evan and I just spent about 48 minutes watching her on the 3-d ultrasound, and she already has quite the personality. She was going non-stop the entire time, moving around, kicking, playing hide and seek, it was amazing. All we could do was laugh because she kept opening her mouth, sticking our her tongue, putting her hand in front of her face, it was great! The tech. told us that a lot of times babies are so uncoordinated but they open their mouths and throw their hands and feet around trying to aim for their mouth, well she found hers! It was so cool how you could see her fingers/hand in her mouth and see the sucking reflex.

All 3 of us were laughing the whole entire scan because she was just moving like crazy, and she kept putting her hand in front of her face. And just when we thought she had moved her hand, nope it's back. She is definitely going to be a handful, full of energy and spunk. I can't wait :) It was the most awesome experience to just take a look in on what our little baby is doing inside of my tummy, and I felt like I was truly getting to know my daughter, it was worth every penny :)

This was actually a re-scan, we went for our appointment last Thursday @ 3:00pm and she's generally not very active at that time but that's all they had. We were there for about 15/20 minutes with not really any good pictures, I was kind of bored, and getting disappointed. Her head is down pretty low and she was looking towards my back so we couldn't see her face until the last 5 or 10 minutes but we did end up getting a couple good pictures. After it was over they offered a re-scan which had to be done within a week but they would pretty much do the exact same thing over since we didn't get very good results.

Here are some of the pictures from the 1st scan

Do you see how she's puckering our her lips, and her full cheeks, isn't she adorable? I think she has my niece Mackenzie's little nose.


Most of the pictures look the same, but I think she looks so peaceful. We have a ton of pictures from the 2nd scan too, she gave us thumbs up, showed us her feet, toes, fingers, everything, but they are not on the computer yet so I'll have to keep you in suspense. We have 2 DVD's now, over an hour of both of the scans which will be so cool to show her when she's older how she looked and what she was doing in my tummy!

In other news, for those of you who haven't heard yet...WE SOLD OUR HOUSE! Yes, God is good, and has perfect timing. Last week was so frustrating and tough countering back and forth but we finally came to an agreement Friday night. We went to see the house Evan and I have had our eye on for about a month now in Apex, make an offer, and wait. Because the house is a relocation house, we had to have the owners agree to a price, and then afterwards the relocation company had to agree and then we would have a contract! Sunday night we came in agreement with the owners, and it went to the relocation company which takes a while, but as of tonight it looks like all is well, just had to sign a couple more papers, and we should know definitely by tomorrow, but I'm not worried. We're scheduled to close on our house on February 18th and depending on how quick our loan, paperwork etc. goes through will depend on when we can close on the house we're buying. Yes that only leaves 2 weeks until our little girl is supposed to arrive but it will all work out! Either way, we are ecstatic that everything is working out, and feel so blessed! Here is a picture of the front of the house in Apex, and Evan's favorite part:


The backyard is fenced in which is so nice for the doggies, there's a deck and a pergula which is what you're seeing in that picture. It's on a corner lot which is nice, and it's huge compared to the lot we are living on right now!

I'll get the 2nd set of 3-d pictures on the computer and post them soon! 43 days to go, aaahhhh :)
