16 weeks!!

I have been such a slacker on blog posts!! I can't believe the last time that I took a picture with my chalkboard was at 12 weeks!! I need to get better at that! but I don't feel like I have changed much since then!! I will take one anyways!!
The last 2 weeks have been so exciting!! We found out that baby Heap a is GIRL!!! We found out on Friday February 24th!
The day before I had to go in for an emergency ultrasound because I had been having really bad pains in the lower right pelvic area. I called in and they wanted me to come in to check for cysts and that it wasn't my appendix. They were not able to find what it was and said that it might just be really bad round ligament pains and that some people can get them a lot worse than others do! Lucky me!! The good part was that I got an extra ultrasound! My mom came with me and it was so funny to see her moving around, waving and kicking! She is really feisty! When the ultrasound would touch my stomach she would hit at it with both hands!! We didn't know that she was a she yet, and the tech asked if I wanted to know! I had to say no because Dusty wasn't there! Man I am a good wife ;) It was soooo hard to wait and I was sure that because she saw so quickly that she was a HE! So I was thinking a boy for a whole day till me and Dusty went to Fetal Foto the next day!
We got to go to Fetal Foto at 11:30 2/24! I was thinking that I was going to have an anxiety attack in the waiting room! I just wanted to know!
We finally got called back and the tech just let us watch her move around for us before she tried to find the sex. When she said that she was going to start looking I think I stopped breathing and my heart was racing faster than ever!!
She said well I know what it is.....
seemed like eternity......
ITS A GIRL!!!
My heart stopped! I was so shocked and happy I could not even handle it!!! We are so thrilled to be having a precious baby girl!!!!
That day we could not tell anyone because we were having a Gender Reveal Party that night at the Porcupine Grill! To keep us busy and from telling anyone we went shopping all day for our sweet baby girl! We had sooo much fun!!
This last week has been a whirlwind! Shopping for her, planning the nursery, and just feeling so much more connected and ready to meet her! It is crazy how just knowing the sex can make everything feel so much more real :)
That night at our party we had such a blast with our families! We had everyone wear pink or blue to show what they thought the baby was! Then everyone bit into a cupcake to reveal either pink or blue! Everyone was so excited and were so thoughtful and had brought gifts for both a boy and girl so she was already so spoiled! We are so grateful for our amazing families and their support.
