Yeah! That's for sure what a little girl looks like!!! I love the profile. We couldn't get a good one at ours. The lady tried and tried. But baby's knee's were touching her nose! It looked like when the grinch get's stuck in the chimney! Little stink! And I swear I gained 20 lbs in my first trimester! But I haven't gained anything in my second. Funny huh? I guess it's because I never threw up. I'm just so excited for our girls! Pretty darn perfect if you ask me!!!

Oh my gosh Stephanie! A girl! I cannot even imagine how excited you must be. Girls are great. How fun for all your boys too. I am sure you can't even go into a store without buying a girl thing now. I would die of the anticipation! That would just be the most exciting thing. Congrats.

i can't believe you are having a girl!!!! This is so exciting for you! Finally someone to watch all of those Shirley Temple movies with and to shop with. Keep updating, I'm so far away that I am totally out of the loop!

Reid Family said...

I am so excited for you. You will have so much fun with a girl. That is amazing that you did not have to have assistance with this pregnancy. Wow! We really need to go to lunch and catch up.

Christine said...

Wow, Stephanie, that is wonderful! you look great! Mexican food is the best when pregnant... My friend who has boy twins born last June totally April fooled me yesterday and said she was expecting another set of boy twins. She wasn't, but I thought of you with your five boys. Man, you are lucky to have a girl! I want one too!

Jojo said...

How wonderful! So happy for you! You look amazing, and the boys will love spoiling their little sister... Some good friends of ours had a baby girl after 4 boys, and they toughened her up by tackling her as soon as she could stand. But she was by far the most adored little girl ever. You are in for a treat!

Thanks for your comment! I've felt AWFUL and MISERABLE and on the verge of throwing up ALL day long....up until yesterday....I'm going on 36 hours of feeling AWESOME!! I hope this feeling lasts, because I did get tricked before. But I've spent 14 weeks just miserable and SICK! I'm so happy that I feel good for at least today....

CHEERS TO THE SECOND TRIMESTER!!!!
