It's official

Well, this year for my birthday, I had the best present ever! I had an ultrasound where Justin got to see that for SURE we are having a girl. So, he's accepted that fact now =) Ha ha. I was so excited because the ultrasound lady told us she was 13 ounces and she measured her little foot for us! It's one inch long...how cute is that?! I couldn't wait to buy little girl stuff, but we have no money so I'm forced to wait. But my cute husband was sneaky and went and bought the cutest little pink sleeper with ruffles on the butt. Did I mention that's my favorite feature ever on little girl's clothes? Carter loved seeing the baby on the TV and has totally adopted her as "his baby" now. We didn't ever call her that, but now he likes to pick out pink stuff at the store and says, "My baby likes that." Or the other day we were going to the park and he told me I should get on the tire swing because, "My baby likes tire swings." I asked him what he thought we should name the baby and he said, "Dirty." Note to self: don't get a 2-year-old's opinion on naming babies. But the top pick right now is Kelsie Louise. Justin won't 100% commit until the very end I'm sure, but I told him he just needs to accept the fact that I think of good names for our kids.
