We're having a little girl! Sorry to those who wanted me to keep the news a surprise, but really, I'm way to excited and know I would blurt it out sooner or later anyway. Even though I'd be just as excited if we were having a little boy, I can now plan pretty little clothes, pretty little toys and future tea parties.The toy in the photo is the one I bought the day I got the news. I thought I'd use it to break the news to DH as he couldn't attend the scan that day. Funnily enough, he didn't get the pink hint, so I had to tell him directly. He's very excited, but has made it clear that she will still be learning martial arts ("She'll know how to throw a good punch by the age of three") and he'll still play with trucks with her. All good by me! I know that our little girl is going to have her daddy wrapped around her little finger.
And, finally a normal belly shot. I'm rather camera shy so there are few photos of my belly growth. This is me today, at 30 weeks.
I can't believe it's only about ten weeks before I get to meet my little girl.
wow! 10 weeks to go, I can't believe how fast time is flying by! congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!! Get as much rest as you can NOW - in 10 weeks, you won't get any, lol! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteHUGE congratulations, Melanie! That's brilliant news - so exciting! You look thrilled :)
ReplyDeleteYah! Congratulations! I was saying that little rhyme in my head when I read your post title (couldn't quite remember straight off the top of my head whether little boys or little girls were made of sugar and spice).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I live with a little girl who would prefer a truck/car/toy with wheels over dolls. Her toys and play might lead you to believe she is a 100% bona fide tomboy... Not quite, she only wears pink and prefers twirly skirts and dresses to pants. :D
ReplyDeleteFantastic News (of course I would have said the same for a boy!)
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous pic of your belly and the toy. And you are totally glowing. Thanks for sharing your excitement and joy!
You look so sweet. I knew it was a girl. You're going to have so much fun together. Don't get put off by the first couple of months OK. You are going to be a lovely Mummy!

ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! I loved playing with trucks and having tea parties when I was a little girl - sounds like a good combination to me. :-)

Gosh it seems like a blink ago that I was eagerly awaiting the arival of my little girl- a non dress wearer unfortunately but dear non the less. Enjoy every minute of the delightful ride...it goes quickly.
