Let me just start by saying that with this being my second pregnancy I was pretty sure I was a little more knowledgeable and in touch with my body. This pregnancy has been pretty identical to Everett's. Nausea through the first trimester, smells being a major trigger, minimal throwing up but feeling icky most of the day. Headaches, siatic nerve pain very early on and lots of pressure. Craving milk like with Everett and lots of Dr. Pepper. This sweet babes heart rate was almost identical to her brother's through my sonos and checkups also. So being the expert I became after one previous pregnancy I was convinced we were having another boy. I also came to believe that since growing up I was convinced having all boys would be "the worst!" that that would infact be my destiny and not at all bad after having Everett and seeing what boys are like.
So when we went into our Sonogram last week, Everett in tow wearing his big bro shirt I was not expecting to hear the tech say "It's a Girl!" Sweet peanut was very very stubborn and waited until the very end of the appointment to show us her gender which was undeniable. With Everett leaning over his Dad's chair holding my hand I instantly began to cry as did Drew. Pretty safe to say we have already melted for you sweet one! Your big brother has also already begun to give you kisses via my belly which is pretty much the greatest thing ever! He is going to love you so much and protect you always. Although I spent the last several weeks thinking about having another boy in the house I am so very thankful that God knew exactly what we needed in our family and that was you precious girl! Our hearts already feel more complete knowing we have a girl on the way to share in our family!
We are anxiously awaiting your arrival my love and cannot wait to meet you! 20 weeks down, 20 weeks to go!!
P.S. I may have just bawled my way through this whole post. I am sure you will inherit the Blanton emotions of every female before you!
