Names

Hi Everyone! I have been getting requests for an update and a belly picture, so here are both :) This past weekend, Mark and I decided on a name for our little girl... she will be Lily Sarah Campbell. Lily was a name that Mark and I both fell in love with, and Sarah is my grandmother's name. We both have a very special relationship with Grammy and it's an honor for us to have our daughter share her name! Of course, we have to meet the munchkin and make sure she's a "Lily," but somehow I think it will fit her :) Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll - it seems like you agreed with us!

As of yesterday, I am officially halfway through my pregnancy! Just another 20 weeks to go :) In the last week or two, I've finally started to get a baby instead of just looking like I've been eating too much! If you saw me on the street and didn't know me, you might actually think I am pregnant ;)

Mark and I will be attending a wedding this weekend at Villanova for my friends Joelle and Matt. We're so excited for them, and want to wish the almost-newlyweds luck! I know the wedding will be beautiful, and I'll post some pictures when we're back. Have a great week!

It's a Girl!!!

Mark and I just got back from my ultrasound this morning and were able to find out it's a girl!!! That is what we both thought at the beginning, but lately everyone else has been saying boy... We are so thrilled, though Mark is already starting to dread the teenage/dating years ;) She was very active during the ultrasound, stretching and rolling around while we looked. (It was very strange to see all of that movement and not be able to feel it!) The tech we worked with was wonderful and printed out a ton of great pictures for us to keep. All of the measurements were good and everything the tech was looking for was there, so we're in great shape! Of course, the baby has long legs, which are measuring almost two weeks ahead of the rest of her development :) I think we may have Dad to thank for that! We can't wait to welcome this little girl into our family!! Here are some of the ultrasound shots.

It's a girl! (In this one, think of her actually sitting on the screen with her little butt cheeks to the right and you'll be able to see her "girl parts.")

Waving to Mom & Dad :)

We also found out this morning that our little girl will be getting a girl cousin! My cousins Maureen and Judson discovered they're having a girl as well! Pink all around :)

Poll...

Wanted to take a quick poll to see if anyone has opinions on what sex they think the baby is... So far, my parents are voting "boy," but they're the only ones who have weighed in. I've done a couple of Chinese gender predictions online, but they come up about half and half. Leave comments and let me know what you think!

Yay for Fridays!!

The BIG Ultrasound :)

Just wanted to let you all know that we scheduled THE ultrasound to find out the baby's sex! We go in next Tuesday, February 12th at 9am. Hopefully the little bean will cooperate and we'll be able to find out who will be joining us in July! I'll make sure to drink some OJ and bounce around before we go in to see the tech, just to make sure :) We'll definitely let you all know as soon as we do!

Happy Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday!
