So on our way to the “gender reveal” appointment I almost gave Lou a panic attack from just about having one myself….. I was a mess, jumping up and down, out of breath and smothering him literally overwhelmed with excitement!
This was me at work that day since my appointment wasn’t until that night… I literally thought i was going to die just waiting!!!
It didn’t help that on the way to work that day I heard the song “What a wonderful world” and Lou text me all day about how he couldn’t wait to find out! EEEEEKK!
So you can imagine if ALLLL of this was me before the appointment what I must be like now knowing it’s a GIRL…(obnoxious may sum it up) I thought it would relieve some of the excitement, giddiness and energy after going to the appointment and finding out either way what we’re having…. Oh was I wrong! It only got worse for both of us- yeah, now we are just annoying to be around :)
Anyway, those of you who know me KNOW I am never EARLY (Ok let’s be honest, I’m never even on time) to anything… Well, believe me, we were EARLY for this! I kept asking Lou “Is it time to go yet, there may be traffic we should probably go now huh!?!?!”
The receptionist told me before we sat down that it would be a girl and then the next girl who walked in already knew she was having a girl so i asked her to sit next to me so it would “rub off on me”….
I know i haven’t posted any pictures from before we announced it yet but don’t you worry! EVERY appointment is documented just like this one ;)
Then it finally happened… they took us back and we saw the most beautiful thing in the world displayed on a huge projector screen.. it was our baby girl!
She was such a wiggle worm, her hands were by her face and her legs were kicking the entire time, I was surprised they could get a good look! The lady asked her co-worker “did you see that”? And I instantly asked, “Wait so you know already? Tell me!”
She said “Your husband was right” I was so flustered I forgot what Alex said (last) to know what that meant so she then said “It’s a girl!” and started describing her movements as “she/her” when she talked about her wiggling….
I think the first day of the best days for the rest of our life started in that very moment.
I screamed so loud that when i walked back out the receptionist and the couple who was sitting next to me in the waiting room congratulated us on our way out!
Our world literally changed in that moment and I KNOW with her in our life I literally don’t want or need anything else.
I get it now mama’s, I get it.
We took a video after finding out the news once we got in the car but we were pretty much a blubbering mess…. in shock and in love. So we will just save that one for Lola one day!!
I told Lou the downfall of me getting excited about EVERYTHING is that when things REALLY are exciting I essentially go into a manic episode, I swear I haven’t slept in days and when I do all I do is dream about her even before this appointment!
I love my sleepless nights though they usually leave me tossing and turning with the biggest smile on my face and the night before our appointment was the best! I had a dream I met her and it was actually “Lola”, our baby who i had dreamed about for years. I held her and she cried and when she looked at me she knew who I was… It was the most real dream I have ever had!
I swear this child will think we are psycho, I really feel like I have known her and loved her for years! This may be the longest 5 more months of my life.
Oh well, on to a celebratory dinner and then shopping for our first girly outfits! 
It was actually Lou’s idea at dinner to buy her something that he picked out “just for her” and he found the perfect onesie that read “Daddy’s Sweatheart”… 
The absolute hardest part was the entire night we wanted to scream and tell everyone about her and we couldn’t because Rachel and I had decided it would be cute to have a gender reveal party for family and close friends so they could find out in a special way…Rachel offered to host it and our first weekend where we could even find one day to do it was 2 weeks away… at this point i know knew….that clearly wasn’t going to work!
So she amazingly threw it together with a 2 days notice for this crazy mama and daddy!
Click her to watch the gender reveal for the family!
I think Lou is actually the pregnant one… he was so hungry he just sat down and ate before anyone even showed up!
I was SOO happy that i got to see my favorite loves at the party, this baby girl had no idea what a wonderful world of love she is coming into! 
PINK bubbles! 
Lou is bound to have his hands full!
Your looking at brand new GRAND mommy and poppys to a baby girl!
Uncle Billy got to be a part of our party too!
Yayyy for baby girls! 
Mom and dad were so surprised! 
Our sweet, amazing ready for anything i throw at them hosts’! 
As you can see my phone was blown up and dead for most of the party due to all the excitement and phone calls to share the news for those who couldn’t make it but as I got in the car to go home I saw this posted by Ana… how adorable is she???
The party was absolutely perfect! Intimate and adorable amd just in time before i popped with the news! So happy Rachel and Andy pulled it off in such short notice for us!
The next day mom and I had one thing on our mind….. do i even need to say it….Shopping!!!!!
We were VERY excited to be on the girly sides of the stores!! 
Cute, cute and cuter! 
Mom and I pretty much experienced the happiest shopping day of out life! Minus the hour commute to get to the brand new outlet and then realizing it was 10 minutes from my house!
Oh well!!!
We got home and just had to spread it all out to show the boys what we got her! 
Mom wanted to take pictures to remember what we already got her and what matching items she still needs! This whole size changing every three months and coordinating/predicting what season it will be when she is ready to wear it is super hard! 
Tucker was so happy to see us girls when we got home…. mom and I just knew Milly would not be happy with us after seeing how much we bought for the “new baby” so we got her new treats, a new collar and new babies to “smooth things over”…
Mom asked if we should clean up all her clothes after we spread them all out and Alex chimed in with “no, no lets just leave them out for now ok?”
Ha we seriously have an entire shrine in the dining room for her just so we have something to look at everyday and Alex loves to come home and hold her outfits….
Also… even though Aunt Tara had to go home the morning after the party don’t let her fool you… she has already gotten Lola a chandelier for her room and painted a dresser PINK for her!
Ii think it’s safe to say we are ALL in LOVE!
This child is going to be soooooo loved it’s unreal!
Now if only we could meet her! Come on February!
Yay for baby girls!
