We had our ultrasound done on Wednesday and we found out that "that is a little girl is there." (The Nurse/Technician) She is healthy and has all her little parts in working order. And she is already the cutest baby I have ever seen. :)
We are both thrilled to be having a girl. I would have been just as happy either way but it turns out, Eric didn't ever imagine it would be a girl so he was more disappointed than he thought he'd be. (His words). Not that he was upset or unhappy but he wasn't as thrilled. That didn't really bother or worry me though. I figured he had 20 more weeks to be ok with it. It didn't take 20 weeks though.
By the time he got home from work that night at 1 AM he was fully on the baby girl train. I asked him what changed his mind about it and he said he just started to "picture her." Everyone was really excited to hear we would have ANOTHER girl in the family (Both mine and Eric's family have a large magority of girls) but I think Aunt Shannon seems the the most excited. Right when she left work she went out and bought the baby 2 little sleeper outfits. SO cute. Pictures below.
In other news, I have finally passed the morning sickness stage! I still get a bit sick if I over do it but compared to what it was I'm fabulous. I do get a lot of heartburn though so I take a tums about once or twice a day. I put on 5 pounds last month so I figure that is a good sign. I've gained a total of 7 pounds since my first doctors visit. I'm a bit behind on weight gain but I'm still healthy so I'm not worried. Plus, I know how to make for lost time! I've also been feeling her quite a bit lately. She must be getting stronger. Sometimes she'll get me so good it makes me jump but we love to feel her wiggle around. :)
Other big news is that Eric was offered a new job at Datawise. It's a really great company his sister Jenn works for. They take information for survey's and polls and put it together so it looks nice and is easy to read. They also link it to demographics and other stuff I don't really understand. Eric was chosen for the job out of 90 applicants and he's ahead of schedule in his training. The only thing that is hard about that situation is that he works from 5 PM to 1 AM leaving Friday and Saturday nights as the only time we get to be together.
So that's how we're doing now and here are some pictures!

Quilt Grandma Hanson gave to her. It makes me want to go on a picnic with her. :)

BTW if anyone know how to rotate a picture, please let me know!
Presents from Aunt Shannon
Look at the cute birds!
Hope she's big enough at Christmas to wear this!
The best part: When she crawls, she will have a reindeer bum and the little ears stick up!

I think you will love having a girl first. I'm way excited for you. We need to get together. I need to see your baby bump.
Yay! So excited for you guys. That girl is going to be the cutest little blond haired blue eyed tan skinned baby that walked the planet :).
So exciting! Those are awesome ultrasound pictures! A little girl is awesome! Once she's born, Eric will be glad you didn't have a boy. Zach goes totally soft and goofy over Addie. It's sweet to see. I'm so excited for you!
