"sugar and spice...

and everything nice; that's what little girls are made of! yes, it's a girl! i was right this time! of course, it's not really the truth to say that i was wrong last time... i knew deep down that cole would be a boy, but i was so sure i wanted a girl first. now, i can't imagine it any other way! so- technically i was right both times, just in denial the first time, haha. anyway, mom met me at the hospital for the ultrasound so that she could help out with cole- he'd had his 12-month well-baby visit earlier, which of course included shots. yipes. i think the county heard that one! anyway, he's doing great, his weight is in the 25th percentile, his height is in the 50th percentile and his head circumference is up at the 75th percentile.
so, back to the little girl we're over halfway to meeting... we got 4 great pictures off the 3-d ultrasound. it's funny, how before they start putting on fat, they look like skinny little monkeys, yet they're so cute! it's still blowing my mind that we get to see her face even before she arrives... i think it's just amazing. we JUST got internet here (literally- the guy left about 10 minutes ago), and the scanner/printer is still packed away, but as soon as that's all taken care of, i promise to post some ultrasound pics. and some of cole, too, of course- we can't forget him! anyway, it's great to have internet again, i feel more connected! funny thing about small towns, how your options for ip's are pretty limited... we had service through frontier once upon a time, long ago, and were so disappointed with it, so this time we went with charter. boy, do i feel weird- i kept hoping nobody from our meeting would drive by, see the charter communications truck and say "oh look- the brotzman's are getting cable".... awkward! since it's much faster and a bit more reliable than frontier, that's what we went with. anyhoo, it seems to be working, so that's all that matters. ta-tah for now!

Congratulations on your little girl! Girls are all kinds of fun! Do you have a room for her that you can start decorating now?

Lindsay said...

thanks! no, we don't have a room for the baby, she and cole are going to have to share for now... but it's all done in greens and classic pooh, so it'll work for both of them!

Congratulations! Now you get to shop for all the fun little girly stuff. Not that boys aren't fun, I just haven't had the chance to learn how to shop for that kind :)
