Little Bows and Painted Toes

I KNEW IT!

Those were the words that came out of my mouth the moment
 we found out we were having a little Girl! 
Randy and I couldn't be any more thrilled and we are so excited
 to start the planning process!

I already know the color scheme I have in mind for the nursery, so now it is just a matter of finding all the perfect little pieces! I can't wait for these next few months to 
hopefully fly by and cannot stop thinking about what and 
who our little girl is going to look like!

I am so in love with my husband and have been so amazed by his love he already has for our baby!
While some men don't care about the little things, like picking out baby clothes 
or what color or theme the nursery will be..
He very much has an opinion that has impressed me beyond belief!

He wants absolutely the best for our little Girl and I already know that I have lost the battle..
just as I too am a daddy's little girl, there is no way this little one won't end up the same way!

All in all, this weekend was great! 
From the surprise early visit by Randy, to seeing baby on the ultrasound together, finding out the sex, doing some long awaited shopping for her, and of course enjoying our time together at the Chris Tomlin ft. Kari Jobe and Louie Giglio Concert. 

Furthermore, I wanted to give a big thank you to our close and dear friends
 Josh, Jaimie, and Julie 
for helping us with our gender reveal. It was such a fun way to find out what we were having and we are so thankful that you each took time out of your day to be there with us and capture our special moment. 


How far along? 21 Weeks 2 days  
Total weight gain: Let me just say getting on the scale was quite depressing this week! I am up a total of 8 lbs this pregnancy. While I know it is going to continue to go up, I definitely need to start watching my weight gain so that I stay within my goal. I have a little less than 19 more weeks to go!
Maternity clothes? I am mixing it up.. still trying to wear what I can, but also slowly purchasing new things that are more flattering for my changing body!  
Stretch marks? Nope!   
Best moment this week: Finding out what we are having and having the hubby surprise me by making it to the ultrasound! It was the first time he heard the heartbeat and actually got to see the baby moving!  
Miss Anything? Not that I can think of.
Movement: After seeing baby moving all around in the ultrasound, you would think I would be feeling her by now! The ultrasound tech called her a fighter because she was kicking and punching non-stop. Hopefully soon though!
Food cravings: None
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing specifically, but I have been feeling a little more unsettled in my stomach lately.
Gender: Girl!! My intuition was right! We are both so excited! Randy’s family was cracking me up because they were all thinking it was going to be a boy again. The Sharratt boys will no longer dominate forever! ;)  
Labor Signs: None yet
Symptoms: lots of stretching in the stomach, slightly unsettled stomach, almost feels like I have a bruised tailbone, occasional headaches, lots of random body aches.  
Belly Button in or out? In.. if my belly button does pop out, I don’t think it will happen until around the very last month!   
Wedding rings on or off? On and still fitting good.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy until I get overly tired, then I notice I get pretty moody.. haha  
Looking forward to: Planning! I can finally start thinking about all the things I need to do and want to do!

 Also, just a start.. gotta make sure baby girl has style! 


and of course.. Daddy had to get his little girl her first bunny.. 


We love you Tegan Mae Sharratt! <3

xoxo

  1. Ohhhhh Tegan Mae, what a BEAUTIFUL (and unique, yet easy to say and spell) name!!! Those baby clothes are so cute and the bunny, awww... Girl you look great don't worry about your weight gain, you sound right on track! Even if you gained a pound a week for the next 19 weeks you'll be perfect.
