IT'S A BABY GIRL! :)

We found out today ~ it's a girl!  We saw the heart, toes, fingers, spine, brain, everything!  Still so surreal :)  The baby was super active, and the doc said everything looked good!  Gotta keep praying :)  We feel blessed and thankful that above everything, the baby is healthy and active.  We called our parents right away, and both our moms especially were ECSTATIC.  Like BEYOND excited <3 They were secretly hoping for a girl...haha.  They said daughters are the best, especially when they get older b/c they take care of the parents and are so good to them :)  I know Philip said boys are simple and that that's all he's known all his life growing up with it being only he and his bro - but I know he's gonna be the best dad ever and a huge ball of MUSH with his baby girl :)  If he's this good to me, I can't even imagine how good he'll be to his daughter <3  And since we both love sports, I'm determined to make my girl an athlete and a bit of a tomboy playing volleyball & bball, watching NFL & NBA, all the while being a bit girly too :)

Here are a few of the many ultrasound shots we got!

I used to always browse celeb mags and fall in love with pics of suri ~ she always made me want a girl. I dunno what it is about her, but she's so stinkin adorable and precious!  These images make my heart melt, and they get me totally excited to have a baby girl :)

 Recently, Philip got me a gift for the baby - a Ritmo!!  I saw it on tv and said something in passing - little did I know, sneaky hubs was paying attention and ordered it for me :)  It is SO awesome - I'd totally recommend it to all moms!  So for about an hour a day, I play some music for our baby (all the while, relaxing myself) :)
