20 weeks and It's a...

GIRL

Today was such an amazing and memorable day that Mike and I will never forget. We have been waiting for this day ever since we found out we were pregnant. Our appointment was the first one this morning at 9:00 am. As soon as we went into the ultrasound room we were able to to see our baby and find out that Baby Sosbe is a GIRL!!!! We could not take our eyes off the screen! Once the doctor told us we were having a girl I felt a huge rush of emotions! I immediately began crying tears of joy when I heard the news. The last time we saw her was at 11 weeks so it had been a long time and boy did she look bigger! The doctor told us all of her measurements were absolutely perfect and she is measuring in the 76th percentile of her weight (as of now) which means she is a little chubby :) 

Our sweet baby girl<3

After our appointment we stopped by the store to pick up some pink balloons and stuffed them into a mystery gender box (thanks to Pinterest for the idea). We wanted to surprise both of our families with this idea but unfortunately they could not all be there, but we were able to surprise my mom, sister, and niece. The pictures are priceless! They were both shocked and excited!!!


We feel so blessed that our sweet little girl is growing healthy and strong. She is already so loved by so many people and we can not wait to meet her in July!
