It's a .....

It's a GIRL!!!!
So we were supposed to wait another 2.5 weeks to find out the gender, but I had a long day at work Friday and decided on a whim to go to fetal foto in the mall to finally find out what our little baby is going to be. We were both so excited to find out and couldn't wait any long and are both happy to have a healthy little girl!
After we got our u/s pictures done somehow I lost the pictures walking out to our car from the mall. I was so mad and we spent hours tracing every step we took to try and find the pictures, but no luck. Most of the u/s pictures were of her spine since she was face-down and not moving much, other than a few kicks here and there.
The next day, we went back to check with lost and found again and retrace our steps, again, no luck. I decided to get another one and this time she was on her back so we were able to get some good profile shots. We also got a dvd which was really neat to see the movements and she even tried to turn for us. Most of the time she was sucking her right thumb (she must be right handed).
We had my family and grandparents over for Jeff's B-day BBQ last night as well and decided to surprise everyone with white cupcakes filled with pink frosting that my sister helped to make. We are so happy to have a little girl coming to join us soon. Now we can also finally get the nursery together while I still have some energy.

Happy Birthday Jeff!!!

This past week we celebrated Jeff's 26th birthday and will continue to celebrate this next weekend (in true Evans fashion of month-long birthday celebrating). Jeff and I went to dinner at Braza Grill where Jeff got to eat all the meat he could handle and then my parents took us out to see a movie. Sunday, Jeff celebrated at his parents house for dinner and then this weekend we are having a BBQ at our house. I forgot my camera last week, so hopefully I can get some other pics this next party.

We went to our second Dr. appointment today and heard the baby's heart beat again....160bpm.. the same as last month. All of my blood work from last visit turned out great! Now if only I could get over my naseua....I shouldn't complain about the symptoms of being pregnant since I am just lucky to be pregnant, but being sick to your stomach all day everyday is really getting old! I feel like I have the flu and only throw up when I eat sweets. My stomach started to pop out at week 14 and I started getting stretch marks....boo! We have also set up our ultrasound to find out the gender.... APRIL 11th! (The day we will be on the radio from hell show on x96 and leave for Hawaii the next day). We are thrilled and so excited to find out the gender. Jeff and I have our hunches... but I guess we have to wait a little longer to find out. I haven't bought much besides diapers because I want to know the gender first.
