It's a GIRL!

Our last set of routine bloodwork gave us a small scare, but our recent doc appointment with Dr. Tabor reassured us that our little baby is fine and healthy (thank you for all of your prayers). Dr. Tabor was very precise in showing us each part of the sonogram. Everything looked great! My sister flew down from Odessa JUST for my doctor appointment, and lucky me, baby Austin got to entertain us as we waited for the doctor. Below are some pics of him helping us out! Thanks Aust!

Elevator ride UP to see the doc

Waiting on Dr. Tabor to come in and do HIS sonogram. Aust wanted to sit with me for a sec.

Jalee was proud to say that she was the first to hold the evidence that we have a GIRL!

(Austin really was excited, but he was just too tired to express his true feelings. hahaha!)

So, IT'S A BABY GIRL!!! I was so excited to finally have an answer. You know what this means: fluff, bows, tutus, pink, fluff, bows, fluff, zebra, fluff, ruffles, bows, fluff!!!!!  She's going to be the cutest littlest one!!! I had a list of names from the beginning, but there was one name that Jared has had on reserve for a long time (for a couple years)... and I love it just as much as him....so we stuck with it! Our baby girl will be...

BRAYLIN JAE PERCIFULL!

Jared actually got the name from a football player that plays for the Jets, I believe. But HOW CUTE is it for a little girl!! Of course we spell it different with a girly twist. And her middle name is after her big brother in heaven, Boston Jae Percifull. *smile*

We are so excited and now I'm ready to begin planning the baby nursery. I'm not really going with a theme but I have the colors in mind that I'd like to stick with. That will be a blog all in itself. AND this little girl already has several cute cute cute little outfits. Her Nonnye in Lubbock has bought several cutesies, her cousin Jamie MADE her the cutest outfit that we can't wait to see, a family friend bought her a pink tutu suit, and we have some onesies that are already in the closet. Spoiled already!

I am starting to feel her move and squirm a lot these days  (23) weeks. I'm pretty sure that some nights she's practicing karate. OH HOW THAT MAKES ME SMILE. There is nothing better than feeling swift kicks in the tum from a baby I can't wait to meet. One day I was even able to SEE her little kicks through my shirt. Makes my soul glow!

My next appt will be September 3. I will begin going for a sono every 3 weeks now. Dr. Tabor seems so positive about this pregnancy. That's all I need to hear. Thanks to my dear Lord above.

Keep those prayers coming our direction. We are so thankful.
