We are having a Beautiful Baby GIRL!

Princess Girl, this post is for you so you can know how your mommy and daddy felt and how the day went when we found out it was you inside us! :)

This morning was a cold morning. When I got into my car it was 45 degrees!!! Nothing fit me this morning. I had a small meltdown and I texted your daddy to call me. He called me and I asked him to take this evening off (he had to work at the golf course after our appointment this afternoon). He said he couldn't but he promised to take me shopping this week for new clothes! I can no longer button my pants and my shirts are too tight!! It is not fun having to readjust your clothes all day! So I am excited to get clothes that fit -- but I have to wait until Thursday.

My day consisted of meetings all day and your daddy had work. Your cousins Joseph, Jessica, Tex and Tally came in from Japan today! They stopped by to see your daddy at work and they pulled me out of a meeting to see me and how big you were growing in my tummy! They didn't think you were that big! :) You are going to love hanging out with your family when you get here!

I left work at 2:00 this afternoon and picked your daddy up from work. Now it was a beautiful day! No longer cold, it was 78 degrees! Perfect weather for the perfect girl! :) I picked up your daddy and then I had to stop by the house. I had been told to take things to record your ultrasound on - just in case they could! So I grabbed a CD, VHS (which by the time you can read this you'll have NO IDEA what those are!) and our video camera...just in case!

The whole time we drove I kept making small talk with your daddy because I was so excited/nervous to find out who you were!! :)

We pulled up to the dr. office at 3:20!!! Our appointment was scheduled for 3:20! We rushed upstairs to check in and then we sat there until 4:00!!!! I about went nuts waiting to get my name called!!! We went in to the ultrasound room and she told me that none of what I brought would work to record the sonogram!!! lol so we stopped for nothing! But luckily she had an extra blank dvd for us!! :)

So we started to get to see you! And you are perfect!!! The ultrasound tech kept saying how perfect you looked! Every limb measured correctly. Your brain (head) measured correctly. And we saw all the chambers of your heart - which looked perfect!! Then we went to see if you wanted to show us if you were a boy or a girl!! It took the tech just a minute and then she said, you're having a girl!! And I squealed a little and cried a little and was just beyond excited!!!! I am so happy to be having you precious girl!! :) Your daddy was very excited!! As SOON as we got back out to the waiting room he started to look on his phone for Pink yankees stuff!! :)

Then we watched you move a little, you kicked a whole bunch for your daddy and me to see!! It was so fantastic!

Everyone is so excited to be welcoming you come February!! Emma and Rebekkah cannot wait to have another TWO girls to play with! Because Miss Ellarie will be coming in December!

Precious Princess, you are so beautiful, so perfect, and so wonderful!! And you are truly a Gift from God! We love you very much!!
Love,
Mommy

Bekkah and the Fair

This weekend John and I went to Buhler for the State Fair! I don't know if it's because I am pregnant so I decided I could eat everything and anything!! Or if I really was Craving it all!! I really didn't eat too much - I just ate more than most years! :) mmmm.....it was so delicious!!

So, since we were in Buhler we of course got to hang out with Miss Rebekkah! There are a few stories to share! Apparently, my boobs are growing. Because when Rebekkah gave me a hug when I first go there she leaned back and began to poke them. I said, Hey! Those are my boobs! And she poked them and said "boob". She was obsessed with them all weekend. Crazy girl!

So, Saturday night the poor girl was so exhausted after being at the state fair all day! Well, she was sitting up at the stove helping to make macaroni and she leaned over and placed three of her fingers on the buner! It ended up with her going to the ER with 2nd degree burns to all three fingers! Poor thing! She was MUCH better after she got tylenol with codine! :) They told Jami and Matt that she might pass out from the meds....oh no...not Rebekkah! She was crazy hyper and silly!! :)

So Sunday, John and I get to church and Rebekkah is in the nursery with her mom and another little girl and her dad. Well, when we stand to sing I turn around and wave at Rebekkah. She proceeds to yell, "Nena! Nena! Nena!!" super loud for everyone to hear! I definetly feel loved when that little girl is around! She had to come out and sit with her Aunt Jenna and Uncle John for a little while!

After church one of the ladies was talking to me and she asked Rebekkah, is Aunt Jenna going to have a baby? And Rebekkah goes, Uh Huh! and proceeds to lean down and lift up my shirt to show her where Aunt Jenna's baby was!! LOL - such an adorable little girl!!

Alright, so speaking of my baby. I am 18 weeks pregnant!! And I am 2 weeks away from finding out if our little one is a boy or a girl!! :) I have been feeling much better.....still taking the zofran..I'll probably try this weekend without it. It is causing some bathroom issues for me!! There are so many things that are a pain when you're pregnant and you wonder if you'll ever be normal again after pregnancy! I sure hope some of the things go away! Like the Headaches!! They have been awful!!! But it's so worth every pain and ache and sickness!!!

Baby Ella has arrived! So Mr. Lincoln and Ella are both here! They are both doing great! And Mommy hood must be crazy because the momma's are on facebook less and less!! :) But I'm looking forward to hearing all the stories someday!! :)

Alright, off to work on school work and eat some dinner!

Felt the little one! :)

So yesterday, 9-1-10, I was sitting at my back table in my calssroom grading spelling folders when something moved inside of me! At first I thought, Oh no! Something is loose inside me! (I thought kidney, stomach, what could it be!?) and then I remembered.....Oh! It was probably the baby!! :) That's right I for sure felt my little one! Then today I have felt it two more times! So AWESOME! I can't wait for it to be more consistent!

I hope our little one moves more and more so John can feel him/her soon! :)

Ella May Canter also came into the world yesterday! So exciting!!! :)
