Thinkin' Too Much

Exsisting in a bubble of confusion most call adulthood. Defining life while striving to be the best wife, mommy, daughter, and friend I can be.

Say "yes" to PINK!

Mr. Thinkin' and I went for our 20 week ultrasound on Friday. Everything went well, despite the fact I'm a dork that seems to be math challenged lately and drank twice the required 32 oz of water in the hour before our appointment. I wanted to die for about 10 minutes, and then the tech pointed out that my bladder was actually too full so I got to go right away.
There wasn't ever a moment where we saw much more than Newbie's face and feet, but the tech said we are having a girl. I wish I would have said, I would like her to point out how she could tell, but the lady made me a little nervous. I asked her if she liked her job and she said, "Frankly the only time I get excited about this job is when I find something that isn't good news for you." Ok, so that pretty much ended the chit chat. I am happy to report we didn't have reason to excite the tech and we have a healthy baby on the way.
Mr. Thinkin' and I are both excited and nervous about being parents to a baby girl. I think my nervousness had to do with wanting a healthy mother-daughter relationship, where as his, at the moment is all about changing diapers.
I never thought I would be the type of mother who thought their daughter needed a bunch of pink clothes, but in the last four days I have purchased about 20 pink things! I really thought I had a lot of unisex newborn clothes, but now that I know we are having a girl a lot of it seems so masculine.
We have decided on a name for the little lady, but we are not sure what we will end up calling her. I am not fond of all the unsolicited input you get about naming your child. Also, I am really sensitive about not using a name other people want to use, or have used recently. That being said, I am glad we have 18 weeks to think about things.
Yahoo...my baby is a girl!!!
