Halfway There

As I enter into my 21st week of pregnancy I think about how many times James and I have said that we cannot wait to meet this little one. At the same time, I realize how fast that day is approaching and that before we know it we will be holding our little one in our arms.


I am so thankful to have been blessed with a healthy pregnancy thus far. I realize this is not the case for so many, including friends of ours, friends of friends, and even family. We were so fortunate to get pregnant right away and even more fortunate to have a healthy growing baby inside of me.



Last Friday we went in for another ultrasound. Everything was beautiful and we even got to see some 3-D pictures of our child. They were incredible! It was amazing to see how developed this baby already is. It made it that much more real.




Another highlight from this appointment was the unveiling of our baby's sex.




Drum roll please.......




It's a GIRL!!!



We are beyond excited to finally know the sex of our baby and to no longer call her "it." Our child has an identity and even a name now. We love being able to say things like, "I can't wait to meet Isabella."




I have already been daydreaming of outings with her and the talks we will have about life.




James and I feel as though we are floating on clouds and are feeling our love for this child grow more and more every day.




So here's to tutus, barbies, and pink.
