What a fantastic day, I must say!!!!!! We found out today that our sweet baby is indeed a girl and already a spoiled one at that! I really have no time to be writing considering the BIG Birthday party is tomorrow, but I feel the need to share our day before the chaos sets in!
So yesterday was 16 weeks, which is the earliest that they will do an ultrasound to determine the definite sex, so of course being the person I am WE HAD TO DO IT TODAY! I was very anxious because I had this feeling it was a boy and my mom told me last weekend that I looked like it was a boy, but every night this week I have had dreams of a girl. So I was very unsure of what today would hold and believe me when I say if it was a boy he would have been as loved as this baby girl! The day was planned to a tee because you know me...there must be a schedule in place for everything! 9:00 am baby time, take Bryson to school, pick up a few party things, have Bryson a party at school, and then Bryson had a well check-up scheduled for 1:15 and then I of course needed to come home and prepare for the party. Well I must say that once I found out it was a GIRL my schedule went out the WINDOW!
She told us that she was definitely a girl and that she was very proud to show it, which already has Brooks concerned. Bryson seemed a little bummed that it wasn't the brother he was hoping for and even mentioned he can't teach a girl to race cars :( But he quickly got over it....I think. We got the new baby girl a little bear from Bryson and we recorded her heartbeat in it, so he was proud of that...which brings me to the next highlight...she would NOT sit still long enough to have her heartbeat recorded, the lady mentioned that she is "a runner" which made me happy b/c everyday when I run I have been telling myself that I am teaching her how to run and ITS WORKING!!!! :) Of course our sweet thing is very skinny at this stage, but she is already BEAUTIFUL to us!

So that brings me till about 9:45 am....we took Bryson to school, picked up a few party things, had a nice lunch and ran back to Bryson's school for his party. He and Miss Sadie shared a party, since they share a birthday week and I got the pleasure to read to preschoolers, which is a little out of my element. Once we were finished we thought we were going to Bryson's appointment, but I had a message that they needed to reschedule. So the boys went to play with slot cars and I got to go SHOPPING for PINK, which I learned is going to be VERY dangerous!
Here I am still on cloud 9, when I should be doing something, so I better go and prepare for a RACING party! Thank you to EVERYONE that has been so positive and for all of the prayers through this journey that we have traveled the past 8 months. I knew, then, that it would be ok and today is the day that it was confirmed! We love you ALL and appreciate ALL that you have done for us in our lives and for ALL of the continued prayers until this sweet girl is safe and healthy in our arms!!!!!!! LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!!!!!!!! The Derting's Brooks, Alysha, Bryson and Baby Girl BRD :)
