Rattle your rattles... ITS A GIRL

Well the day has finally come and I was able to find out that my baby...
!!!!!IS A GIRL!!!!!
Can you tell that I am just a little excited about having a girl? 



Here are some of the pictures we got of her today. She kept sticking her hand out and waving at us the whole time so they got us a picture of her hand. And yes we saw her thumb too so she has all 5 fingers on that hand thank goodness. You can see her other hand in the second picture but it is in a ball so it is just the fist you can see. It is right next to her face. 

A lot of people have been asking me what her name is and so I will tell you all that her name is going to be Jocelyn. Picking her name was not the easiest thing in the world though. When I got married to Jon I told him all the names that I loved for our kids names and he disagreed on all those names which really was sad. But after I got over the hurt of him hating all the names I loved, we started throwing names back and forth to each other to see if we would like them. Well we did this for a long time and we did not agree on a single name until one day I threw Jocelyn out there because that was a name that I loved for a long time but was so scared to tell him because I thought he would hate it too. But I threw caution to the wind, closed my eyes (expecting him to say he didn't like the name) and asked him how he liked it and he came back with the most surprising response I was not expecting. He loved the name and I opened my eyes and told him to tell me again that he liked the name so that I was not imagining it. So we made a deal that our first girl would be named Jocelyn and we are very excited to have her coming to our lives. 

She almost did not want to behave today and show us if she was a girl or boy. The nurse had to keep wiggling my stomach to get her to move and open her legs. After a bit of convincing, she moved for a split second and the second she moved I knew that it was a girl. I blurted it out before the nurse could say it. She looked at me and asked me how I saw so quickly what it was and honestly I do not know but she said I was right and got a better picture later. (I did not include a pic of her "girl parts" on here) but I do have proof that she is a girl which will one day be put into her scrapbook. She is going to love me when she is older. :)

When I got home from the doctors today one of our goats had her babies and I thought it was funny coming home to babies after seeing my baby earlier. I guess today was meant to be a baby day. Oh I just love babies and cant wait to see and hold my baby. Well I can because I want her to develop fully inside but I am just excited for August 20th!!!

When her hand was by her face I thought of a picture that was taken of you at the hospital and your finger was on your chin. Like mother like daughter. I don't know if you remember that picture or not. If not I will have to show you.
