This week has been one for the books! I kept a secret! A big secret! Your Dad and I were told that we could not find out if you were a boy or a girl until December 6th at our next ultrasound. However, I found out through a friend that we could know sooner if we did a 3D/4D ultrasound at 16 weeks. So we told your grandparents we were waiting until December and we went to the 3D/4D ultrasound. It was the week of Thanksgiving so I knew we would see everyone and we would be able to surprise them. This is a little bit of how our week went.
Monday: We went to stork vision for our first appointment. Your Dad and I were both SO nervous. I was chatty Cathy in the waiting room and your Dad was all focused on business (the way he does when he doesn't want to allow himself to be nervous). As we walked into the room a sense of calm came over me as I realized more than ever that whatever sex you were, we were going to love you SO much. That's when the lady showed us between your little legs. She said "You see there, right between the legs, there is nothing there. It's a GIRL!" I was overcome with excitement. I began to cry. Then she said, "Well, I'm not sure. I can't be positive. The baby doesn't want to move and I can only give you an 80 percent." Then she said she would like us to come back the next day and said I would have to drink some sugar or caffeine to get you to move more.
Tuesday: Tuesday was one of the best days of my life. I haven't had a caffeinated pop in 3 1/2 months or so. This day I had a small diet coke from sonic and felt like I could run a marathon. Apparently so did you because you were doing flips in my belly. We got so many good pictures of you. We also found out that 100 percent you were a little girl. I was thrilled! This day I ordered 2 cakes for your grandparents so that we could surprise them.

Wednesday: I bought your first baby outfit from baby gap. I'm not HUGE on pink things, so I settled on a sweet pair of courdoroy overalls with tiffany blue polka dots and a matching head band of course! It felt so nice to buy something for you! This was the night that we also surprised your Grammy and Papa Don. Below are some of their reactions. This was so much fun that I cried when your Grammy cut into the cake. I was so happy that she was getting the grandaughter she always wanted.

Cutting the cake..It's Pink!
I cried..So Grammy cried too!
This was such a special night for both of us. We were so excited to share the news!
Thursday: It was a very Happy Thanksgiving. We spent lunch at your Grammy and Papa Don's house and drove to Barnsdall for dinner with your Nana, Papa Kenny, and Papa Phillip. This was when we were going to surprise my side of the family. Your Nana's reaction was priceless and I loved every minute of it.
I was so happy we kept this a secret! I enjoyed every minute of surprising everyone. We are so thrilled to be having a sweet little princess. :)
