Tons of baby stuff going on today… I got to see Kayla’s baby for the first time. He was born on Saturday, and I got to see her and hold him when I was in Amarillo driving through. He was perfect, and the littlest baby that I have ever held, and also the youngest baby I have ever held. Then, my sister went to the doctor today and found out the gender of her baby since she is 18 weeks along. I can’t tell yet, but as soon as I can I will let everyone know! Also, since my sister lives in Arlington, I haven’t gotten to see her since she found out that she was pregnant, so tonight when she pulled in to town she came over to see us. It was the first time I saw her, and she is showing a little already. I had to take a picture of her because I couldn’t believe she already had a little bump, I wasn’t thinking that it would be showing that much already. I can’t wait to be an aunt, and now that I’ve seen her it finally seems more real! Only five more long months of waiting for the baby to arrive, I hope it goes by fast!

Today is the day my sister and her husband find of if their baby is a boy or a girl! I had assumed that as soon as she went to the doctor she would call me and tell me what happened, but now she’s decided that she wants to tell all of us in person. So, I have to wait until we are all together for Thanksgiving to find out. I don’t know if I can stand the wait any longer! But, this is just her 18 week check up, and a lot of the time when you go to that they have a hard time telling for sure what the gender is. Sometimes they have their legs crossed, or the umbilical cord is in the way and the doctor can’t see on the screen. They are expecting to find out today, but for all we know it may be another month before anyone gets the news. I hope everything goes easily and smoothly and they are able to find out for sure what color they need to start buying to decorate! My sister told me yesterday that, according to all her baby books, her baby Is currently the size of a sweet potato. I think it’s cute that they reference the size of your baby using food… I think that sounds like it might be a good nick name for the baby! Any how, I hope that either today or tomorrow I get the news, if they get the news. I can’t wait to know so I can start shopping!
