Well, we had our ultrasound on Tuesday, and it's a girl! Her name will be Laela Grace. She currently weighs about 12 ounces, and apparently I'm further along then we thought, so now my due date is July 20th. Not that that matters too much, since babies rarely come on their due dates. To celebrate I went out and bought her some clothes at Target. I only got a couple of things, although I found many more. I passed those on to my mom and sister haha. I got this dress, onesie, and a pair of ivory leg warmers.





The onesie is from Dwell Studios, and I swear, they have the cutest clothes EVER! Unfortunately, they don't have a picture of my favorite outfit online. My mom picked it up, and it's so cute, it's a yellow bubble tunic with pink and white flowers on it with matching yellow and white polka dot leggings. I love bubble hem clothes, they're so cute! The purple dress has a bubble hem, and I've even found some bubble onesies and rompers! I love little girl stuff so much!

Unfortunately, since I was somewhat out of the loop with what's happening at Lowe's haha, I didn't realize that Martha Stewart took her paint over to Home Depot. So, I guess that means that the paint colors in the nursery and living room may be slightly different than originally planned. But, I'm hopeful that we'll find some that are close. I ordered the dresser for the nursery a couple of days ago. We're going to use it as a changing table too. I wanted to find pieces that could be used as she grows, so we also picked out a convertible crib. We have the bedding and the sheets too. We got the sheets from gap.com, and we had the option of brown, sage and blue stripe or brown, sage and pink stripe. Jason didn't like the blue so we went with the pink, which is kind of a coincidence haha. We're going for a unisex nursery regardless, because I hate the pink for girls, blue for boys thing, but it looks like there's really going to be a lot of green and brown. I also ordered a carrier. I really hope she likes it, because I hear they come in handy when they don't want to be put down, and when we don't want to lug the stroller around.



On the less positive front, I "failed" my blood test haha. Apparently my thyroid is suppressed, which is normal in early in pregnancy, but should have corrected itself by now. My dr. is baffled though, because I exhibit none of the symptoms of someone with that problem. So, once again, I will spend part of my Saturday at the lab. If I "fail" again, it's off to the endocrinologist I go. Hooray.
