Daddy's Little Princess

Well, as the blog title pretty much says, Lance is getting his little girl. Yep, Jace is getting a little sister, and we couldn't be more excited and thrilled about it! This ultrasound was so much funner than when we had Jace. It just seems like they went over every little part of her body and we could see so many great details. Not to mention that my bladder didn't have to be full of 32 ounces of water this time! It's just amazing how technology has grown. We could see all 4 chambers of the heart beating together. We even saw her swallow! When they were taking shots of her face, you could see her hand up right next to her mouth and her opening and closing her mouth like she was trying to get her hand in there. It was just so sweet. Before I even got pregnant with Jace, I had a dream one night that I had a little boy and he looked just like me. Then, the next night, I had a dream that I had a baby girl that looked like Lance. So, I'm thinking that if it's right, then this little girl is going to come out with dark hair and brown eyes. But then again, I was sure that with Lance's strong genes, Jace was going to come out with dark hair. Boy, was I surprised when he came out with blonde hair. Anyways, here are just a few shots of my little girl.

Here she is looking right at the camera.

Her legs...she's already a perfect lady and had her ankles crossed.

A shot of her spine.

Here she is...definitely a girl! Lance was so cute. When the ultrasound tech said girl, he kept asking "are you sure?" The tech said she was pretty sure.

They kept trying to get a profile shot, but she was just not going to have it! This is the best they could do.

They measured the baby and everything. My due date is August 11th, but based on her measurements, it looks like she's measuring just a few days big and is showing the 8th of August. I'm sure they'll keep the due date as the 11th though. It's funny because even though she's measuring a little big, I haven't gained any weight yet. Maybe I'll get lucky and won't gain the tremendous amount of weight I gained with Jace. We'll see!

So, when I was 9 months pregnant with Jace, my grandfather passed away. I felt so lucky to bring a little boy into this world at that time. Anyways, a couple weeks ago, my grandmother passed away, so I feel very lucky to be bringing a little girl into this world. I know that they're not replacing my grandparents, but there's just something really special knowing that my grandparents are getting to know my little ones right before they're coming to this earth. I feel like they're getting to bond and my grandparents are just up there getting them all prepared of what is to come.

Anyways, we're halfway done now! Crazy to think in 20 short weeks, we'll be having a little girl join our family. We can't wait!!!
