Drum Roll Please.......

It's a Girl!!!

This crazy baby inside of me is a girl! So far this has been the funnest part of being preggers!
It was fun to see her, she was moving around so much. Steve kept asking me if I could feel her. Not yet! Soon I am sure of that.

I told Steve now he will have a shopping buddy or maybe someone who likes to go shopping as much as him! He says I make him sound gay when I talk about all of his shopping habits but to be honest it makes all the gals I know jealous that Steve actually likes to shop with me!!!

My poor girl wont have any dates with her dad being a cop!!! Steve cant wait to scare away all the boys. He said he cant imagine himself with a boy right now...he says he is too comfortable having a girl with all his experience with me and all his sisters!!! He will be a great dad.

My sister Britney is so cute...she started crying and screaming all at the same time she was so excited. Now she says my little niece (her daughter) Brynn will have a best friend. They will only be 6 months apart!

Things are looking great so we are right on track for a November 25th due date! Happy Thanksgiving to me!!! Hope she likes turkey!

Steve is pretty convinced that we will name her Katie...which I love! Hope you dont mind sis! He was thinking of spelling it Katy...any thoughts on that? I am worried that people will pronounce it "catty" and I hate that. I also had a suggestion to spell it Kadee. What is the vote. The only thing is my sisters name is Katie so we were thinking of spelling it a bit different to avoid so much confusion. What are your thoughts?

Yeah for girls!!! Congrats! I am glad that everything looks good. It's fun that we are both having girls a few days apart :)

My vote is to spell it Katie (I know I'm boring), but since you want it a little bit different than your sis's name my next vote is for Katee.

That is so great! Congratulations! Girls are the best! You are going to have a blast and she is so lucky to come to your little family!

Yay! The girl thing must be in the water huh?!?! Congratulations! And that is great that Steve likes shopping, because Adam hates it, but when I came home from shopping with my mom for our baby girl all he could say was "Its almost all pink!!!" he he crazy boy!

Ames, I am seriously so excited for you!!! Girls really are the greatest. I am not biased or anything :)
I also think it is really cute that you are going to name your babe Katie...Bryan and I both have a sister named Alesha so I have always thought that would be kind of fun...So I really like the spelling Kadee, just a little different but not too off the wall, gives it a little bit different look but the same sound? You could also spell it Katey, which would be cute too! Good luck and congrats so so excited for you.

Congrats! I am so excited for you guys. You are going to love having a girl they are a blast. I love the spelling Kadee ( But I guess I do have a thing for the ee ending, Brittnee, Kenadee).

Amber said...

Congrats that is so exciting! Girls are a lot more fun to shop for, probably because they make a bazillion more clothes/styles for girls than they do boys. Steve will be a cute dad!

The Ballou's said...

Yeah! We love girls. Little girls are so fun & she will have Steve wrapped around her little finger:)

Kerry said...

How about KT! That's how I spell Katie's name when I txt her or leave her notes!

Ken and Jos said...

Congratulations!! That is so awesome! What's with all you guys having girls- how fun, they will have lots of friends! Tell Steve not to worry about the shopping thing. Ken loves to shop with me too, it's the greatest!!

Lance and Em said...

Oh my heart! I am so excited for you guys. My guess as way off, but I can't wait to meet this little darling!

P.S. I am more than happy to be her shopping buddy... Dax has been converted to the dark side and I need a friend that will cruise the isles with me.

Alesha said...

I am so excited and jealous you are having a girl! I really hope I get a girl next, for now I am too scared I'll get another boy to have one! haha! I think that is so funny that you guys want to do katie...what a coincidence huh? I like Kadee. It can be Katie's namesake huh? Congrats!

anya said...

Congrats! I don't know much about girls... but I bet they are so fun!

My vote is for KATY... one of my YW is named Katy... and I just adore her. Cute name!

Ashley said...

hooray! Congrats on the girl! That will be awesome to have Britney's girl so close in age-they will be best buds. As for the spelling....I vote Kadee. I also love just the name Kate with no "y" on the end.

Brady and Britton said...

Congrats on having a little girl, that is so exciting!! November will come before you know it! I vote on spelling it like Kadee, I think it's super cute. Send me an email so I can get your email address and add you to my blog...bjmsquared@gmail.com. I'm excited to see all the pics of you pregnant as you get bigger, you will look so cute!

Britney said...

Congrats again sissy! I smile every time I think of my cute little niece in there. Can't you just picture our girls having sleepovers? I'm sooooo excited!

Amy said...

Congratulations! I don't think Addy will ever get a date either- Aaron is already protective of her.

We are thinking about Oakley Rae for a name. That is of course subject to change but as of now that is what we are going with.

As for feeling your baby move I am sure that you have felt her. I am no expert on the subject but here is what it feels like to me...at first I thought I was having a muscle spasm in my stomach, but it was wierd because it would be one small movement and then a few seconds later a second one. When I starting paying really close attention I decided that it was the baby. Now I can feel her all the time, especially after I eat. I am pretty sure that she has to be kicking when I feel her though, because I don't feel her flipping around or anything yet.

Have you been congested? I have had to quit writing this post three times now to go blow my nose :)

Keelee said...

Yay CONGRATULATIONS!!! I totally love the name Kadee. It's classic yet the spelling is different enough that you can get away with it being a common name! So exciting!

Kara said...

Woo Hoo! COngrats! I love having a girl first :) Kids are so much fun. You will have to go swimming with me and Robs after you have the baby!

Shannon said...

So fun you are having a girl. They are so fun to shop for. I have a really bad time because with Lynae's 3 girls I can go totally nuts shopping. I have 4 granddaughters and they are so fun to shop for. I have their christmas clothes already.
