We are on the move, and Nils isn't sure what is going on. We are currently packing the POD with everything. We need to be out of the house on Thursday, so it is "go time!" While packing, Nils found some baby items we used in a recent baby shower for a friend. He showed some jealously...and won't share either. FORESHADOWING?
GIRL!!!
After wiping off the tears of absolute JOY (her middle name), Jeff and I looked into each other's eyes and couldn't believe how blessed we are to have this little miracle. She was dancing and singing the entire ultrasound. Both of her grandmas were beaming as they began to think of Easter and Christmas dresses and big bows:)
Our initial thoughts:
Jeff: (1) I hope she looks like her mama (2) How much do I need to save for a wedding? (3) Does Nils count as the tying vote? (4) I can't wait to teach her how to cut rug at every Father-Daughter Dance possible!
Karissa: I was so excited to see that she had 2 arms and 2 legs. It was such a miracle to see her face and watch her be so active. Watch out world because we have a little wild girl headed your way!
Nils: I am glad it's a girl. Now I don't have to be so jealous. I will be Madison's protector!
Yes, Jeff calls our baby "the player to be named later" in reference to the infamous unnamed player in a pending sports trade. We are expecting our baby the last week of August. The first trimester was rough as I had terrible "morning sickness" that I would prefer to call "all day sickness". The second trimester has been so much better, I just started to feel the baby kicking last week. We find out whether we are having a boy or girl on April 15th, if it cooperates and spreads it's legs at the ultrasound. We have chosen the name Gunnar for a boy and Madison (Maddie) for a girl. If you have an opinion either way to the sex of the baby be sure to vote in the poll on the left hand side of the page. We are so excited to be having a baby, Nils is already a little jealous. He does not know what to think of my expanding waist...
