"Sugar and spice
and everything nice
that's what little girls are made of
Sunshine and rainbows
and ribbons for hair bows
that's what little girls are made of
Tea parties, laces
and baby doll faces
that's what little girls are made of"
I am so excited for this new little miracle to join our family and I am so excited for Lilly to have a sister to play with. I feel like we are giving her a life long friend and my heart, once again, is so full.
I wanted to find out the gender of this baby with Lilly so we got the ultrasound lady to put the results in an envelope for us. We had to wait about an hour and a half after we got the envelope and we were both about to go crazy! Lilly was more interested in tearing up the envelope but it was a precious moment for our family. We had decided on a name already if we were having a girl so that part was easy! Picking out girl names was very easy for us both times. It literally felt perfect when we said it and I knew she was my Madelyn Louise the moment I found out.
I'm 20 weeks now, half way there, and I feel more and more kicks and movement everyday. The placenta is in the front this time (which is ok) but it can muffle some of the movements. I feel her the most when I am still or lying down. Mike has felt her too. It is my absolute favorite part of pregnancy, besides the big belly. Her ultrasound was perfect and everything is healthy and she is growing right on schedule. This is the biggest blessing of all. I'm feeling pretty good and just overall happy and peaceful.
In Lilly news, she is growing so fast! I can't believe she will be 3 years old in just three more months. I'm already thinking about all of the matching outfits they can wear (oh yes, it's going to happen) and how to decorate their bedrooms and girly bathroom (when we get our own place). Madelyn will be able to wear Lilly's baby clothes too since they will be in season so that is another huge plus! AHHHHHH I'm just so thrilled to do this all over again. Lilly loves her baby cousin Margaret and wants to touch and kiss all over her so I hope she loves her sister just as much! I can just see her trying to pick her up and put her in a baby stroller... Oh it's going to be a fun summer!
