Today was the big day!! Your dad had to work the morning shift at Costco before my appointment and unfortunately he came home not feeling well. As I mentioned in my last post there was a potential virus outbreak happening and sadly it is in full swing in the U.S. due to that the hospital was taking lots of precautions to make sure we aren't spreading it so Dad stayed home. When I got to the hospital I had to go into the front lobby and get screened for the Covid-19 virus, it was not as terrible of an experience as I had anticipated. I won't lie though the Hospital was kind of errie because they weren't letting a lot of people in and no visitors so it was quiet.
Anyway onto the more exciting part of this week. :) My appointment with the ultrasound tech was at 2 pm and I got up to the Women's Clinic with 2 minutes to spare. I was so anxious and of course you never get into your appointment on time but my wait thankfully wasn't too long. When I got inside the tech asked me if we wanted to know the gender today if she could find it and I said YES! She had me lay on the table and she started your anatomy scan, again I was so nervous and anxious I hardly said anything. Everything went really well and she was able to tell me your gender. Your a little GIRL! I couldn't believe it! Not that we weren't happy but I just really felt like you were a Boy, but I thought that with your sister so obviously I don't know much about that! I called your dad and asked him if he wanted to know now or later and he wanted to know, we were both so shocked but thrilled for another GIRL!
Lexi was playing over at our friend Keira's house with Brynn and Kate so I had to go pick her up, we visited for about 10 minutes and of course she got the gender out of me. :) Then I loaded Lexi into the car and we drove home, Grandpa and Grandma Almond were at our house visiting so we got to tell them and then your dad and I sat Lexi down to explain that we were having another baby! She didn't say much but kept asking to see you haha, I told her that you were in my belly and that we'd see you in a few more months. That night we took her to McDonald's to get dinner and then we got some ice cream to announce your gender. We went to Arctic Circle and got a pink flavor blast cone and took Lexi to a park. When we told her you were a baby sister she was so happy! Sadly I missed her good reaction on film so we had to try it again, she was still happy but really just wanted her ice cream :)
Little Girl we are so excited for you to arrive this August! I am so excited for Lexi to have a little sister, I always wanted a little sister and aunt Emily was born when I was 12 so I didn't get the most time with her growing up since we were 12 years apart but I love her so much! I am so grateful Heavenly Father blessed my life with her and I know you and Lexi will be the best of friends!
