Surprise!!

Adam came into town earlier than expected so we were able to get an appointment a week early for a gender determination. We went out to the place in Diamond Bar and I was quite nervous. I sat down in the chair and the tech started looking around. We could hardly believe our ears when we heard her say, "Yep! It's a GIRL!!" WHAT!?!? Seriously?! I made her check 4 times before the ultrasound was over and there was no denying it. We were thrilled!

The only person that knew we changed our appointment to a week earlier was Allie so I called her and told her the news. Everyone else was told on Saturday as a surprise. Right after we left the ultrasound place we had gone down to Target and bought two cute little dresses. On Saturday morning I went to my parents house (Adam was at school) and I gave my mom a gift as a early mothers day present. She opened up the bag and saw the little dress and looked at me. I told her that we had a ultrasound the night before and she just went NUTS! She and my Dad were so thrilled for us. We told Adam's parents that night in the same way and they were also thrilled.

As much as I hoped and prayed that I would have a daughter, a small part of me just never thought it would happen. I can't wait to meet this little girl and see what a different dynamic she brings to our household. She is certainly going to have to hold her own with her two big brothers!

We can't wait to meet you Ashley Marie!!
