Yep, she’s getting bigger, but I’m not talking about Kari (what kind of husband would say that, even about his beautiful pregnant wife.)
I’m talking about our baby girl! She’s growing fast, weighing in at 13 ounces. Kari’s sonogram was last week, and after a couple of days with the answer tucked safely inside a sealed envelope, we made it out to dinner on Friday night to open it and find out the good news. The sonogram was amazing, watching the baby’s heartbeat, seeing her little arms and hands up by her face, watching her squirm all around.
We’re getting more excited by the day, and knowing makes it seem all that much more real to us. We can’t wait for all the amazing experiences that await us and our baby girl.
Now that we know, it’s on to the real work. Kari made a weekend trip to Minnesota and found some bedding she liked for the crib (only a little bit of pink, so the baby agreed to it). My dad is headed over this weekend to help us get a start on painting the nursery and to put the baby’s new furniture together. And oh yeah, we also need to agree on a name. Not an easy task, but we’re starting to find some common ground. Eliminating half the names now that we know she’s a she has helped with that process quite a bit. Suggestions are welcome, but don’t count on hearing the final result until the little one’s here.
If you haven’t seen it already, be sure to keep up with Kari’s blog on Mom2MomDFW.com. She’ll be keeping you updated their every week.
