Best Birthday present!

This year for my birthday Tim got me the best present, and I also got it early which is an extra bonus! I am a very impatient person, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but most of you know this about me already. Last Friday Tim took me to go see an ultrasound tech so we could find out the sex of our little baby 20ish days early! I was so excited because when I'm looking forward to something I pretty much obsess about it. And you can say I was definitely obsessing about the sex of our baby, our ultrasound appointment was Oct 25th which seemed like FOREVER far away. It was such a great experience, not only did we get to see our little one but we also got to find out we are having a GIRL. I had a hunch it was going to be a girl for quite some time. The typical stuff like my dreams, intense morning sickness, blah blah blah. But for Tim I think this was quite a shock! Boys run heavily in his family! He basically thought it was impossible for us to have a girl, haha. I think it took a couple hours, maybe even days, for him to come to terms with this reality. It was very funny to hear him talk to his family about how we are having a girl, not a boy!


The ultrasound tech was so nice, she made the whole experience so much fun. She was so excited for us, our little Squirm moved around a lot and the tech thought it was the neatest thing. She really took her time to explain everything and she even would rewind or pause and point out little movements we might of missed. It made the whole experience feel so special! I love every minute of it. It was also a lot of fun because my family had no idea we were going to find out super early so we were able to surprise everyone with the news.

We got to take home 17 pictures and a video of the whole thing. Here are some of my favorite pictures:


In this picture Squirm is extending her leg, she was kicking a lot during this whole process.




In this one she decided to roll over so we could see her spine and her little bum, so cute!



In this one she is showing her hand, looks like shes waving. We were able to see both her hands and both legs, and even a glimpse of her little bum. It was so exciting. We don't really have any names picked out, it's hard for us to agree on anything. I guess there aren't any names we are just absolutely in LOVE with. Well actually there is one name I'm in LOVE with but I don't think Tim likes it very much. I'm not going to share it because if everyone hates it I'll probably cry, and that will give Tim validation for not liking it.
