1 week post pink bombshell!

So it's been a week since we found out this little baby we are expecting is infact, a girl! I was in total shock when the sonographer said she was infact a she! Even though deep down I'd had a feeling this baby was a little pink one, I kind of ignored myself and got myself used to the idea of three boys, whilst secretly hoping my hunch was correct!

 Rather embarrassingly, as soon as the words 'little girl' left her lips I had the biggest grin on my face and shouted I told you so at Craig! Baby was very well behaved during the scan, unlike her brothers! She was happy to show all she needed to and kept me and Daddy grinning away with her wriggles and tucking her mini toes under her bottom! It's too cute for words!
 Because Connor was born small and I had to be induced early due to lack of fluid they are keeping a close eye on us this time, so I'll see her again in 7 weeks and every few weeks after that until she arrives!

I left the hospital with a sore face from smiling like a total weirdo and went straight into next to buy the pinkest, girliest frilliest things we could find. Craig thought I was totally ridiculous and kept laughing at me squealing and talking total nonsense about pink and frilly. Once we were back in the car, after another hysterical outburst of THEY ARE SO FRILLY!! We caught each others eye, laughed and then I burst into tears! It was one of those silly moments we won't ever forget.

 I am so happy to be having a little girl but at the same time I'm almost a little wary about being so excited incase they made a mistake..which could happen I spose. But my thinking is..she didn't have a willy then so she won't be growing one now!

We had to wait till Danny was home from nursery to tell the boys the news together. Danny practically ran home! We filled a piñata with pink paper and the frilly socks and a little sleepsuit that says best little sister we had brought earlier. I am so glad I videoed their reactions finding out they are getting a sister, it was beautiful. Danny was sure she was a little girl too so he was extra excited, about being right! They are going to be the best big brothers ever. They love listening to her heart beat through a doppler and her kicks and wriggles are sometimes strong enough to feel through my tummy now. It's started to become really real for them now that their actual little baby sister is in there!

The boys are sharing a room again now, they asked to go back in together even before I was pregnant so that was handy! So the spare room is soon to be transformed into a pink and green fairy utopia!  I've gone a little crazy buying pink rose lights and all things fairyish. I can't wait to decorate it all! Here's a few ideas I'm hoping to recreate from pintrest, and a few bits (only a few!) I've already brought!

I've always brought cardboard letters and painted the names of my babies for their rooms, and we have had this name in mind way before I was pregnant. So I made her little name all ready last night. I didn't paint it though I decoupaged....which is a posh way of saying I cut up rough pieces pretty paper and glued them on with pva ha! I love how messy and rough you can be with it yet it gives you instant satisfaction!  I'll probably redo the boys names now too as they are looking a bit beaten up!

So I'm still getting my head around it all. I'm seriously going to need to enlist some help on how to do some basic pretty hairstyles (I can just about put my hair in a pony tail and usually look like I've just got out of bed in the hair front... so she's doomed!) I need to figure out whatever the hell girls watch and like on TV...got a feeling dinotrux and fierce aren't going to cut it...and how to even dress a girl!  Boys are simple...pair of jeans, and trainers that go with everything and t shirts usually with dinosaurs or cars on done, everyone's happy. Girls!? Tights,  head bands, matching knickers and shoes!? Couple of pairs of trainers aren't going to cut it here! Lots to learn, but what an exciting thing to learn!

10 day countdown!! 💙💗

 So we are officially into the 10 day count down for my 20 week scan! I'm excited and nervous, as I always am when it comes to scans, I'll be puking and squealing whilst about to explode from excitement... Or the ridiculously over full bladder!

I can not wait to find out if this little one is a boy or a girl!  It's especially exciting this time, as with the boys I was so definitely sure they were infact, boys I didn't really wonder at all. This time however, I've not got a clue!  No feelings, no hunches... nothing!

Craig and I have a little bet on,  he thinks that baby is a boy and I say a girl. Looser buys the first outfit! We always go and buy the most ridiculously gender stereotypical outfit once we find out the sex, little blue checked shirts for the boys and you can bet after two boys if this one is a girl....I'll be picking the pinkest, glitteriest tutu mad outfit I can find!
I wouldn't say it's a hunch, but if I had to choose I would guess this one may be a little girl simply because of how different my pregnancy is this time to the boys. With the boys, my skin was clear and beaming, my hair was soft and silky and my nails were so strong and lovely. This time! Wowza! Totally different!  My skin resembles and spotty teenagers, my complexion is well...grey, my hair is kind of a mane/ birds nest mix up and well my nails are hideous. They are so short and stumpy, I've even had to stop wearing falsies because they are so weak and crap!  I'm pretty sure I may be growing a beard too...  So yeah, I'm looking great! Haha!
I've read all the old wives tales going and I'm still tied, this baby is giving nothing away! I've borrowed a doppler from my sister in law so I'm going to try and count baby's heartbeat for a minute as apparently the number can give you an inkling.... Although this is probably crap too!

 Seriously how do people cope with not finding out! I've had the most bizarre dreams lately about it all, giving birth to a boy but every shop only sells girls clothes, a boy who looks like a girl the lot....it's driving me mad! Plus, everything nowadays especially clothes, bedding even prams are either definitely boyish or girly. In my mind anyway. I do find all white and plain clothes a little dull too...I plan to be very prepared this time round (ha!!) and have everything ready. I just can't see how I could if I didn't know baby's sex!

I've got a few ideas on the baby's room for either sex. (I think planning the room is one of my favorite things!) Danny to start with had a rather dull cream and brown room with bunnies and sheep wall stickers, it was nice but a bit boring. Once we moved he had a nautical theme, red blue and white bunting and striped wallpaper with the quote 'sons are the anchors of a Mother's life' I still plan on having an anchor tattoo someday! Connor had a jungle themed room. Green and orange with foam leaves and orange painted flowers covering his wardrobe. Cuddly monkeys and giraffes and a big jungle book picture (my favourite Disney film!) I still now call him my little bumble in the jungle, much to his dislike!
 This time if bubs is a boy I'm thinking grey and light blue with an elephant theme, ive even got photo frames and a large elephant cuddly in mind ready to purchase in a few weeks!

Girls I'm thinking pink (of course!) and maybe white? Fairies, flowers and fairy lights! Possibly green and pink..with a secret garden kind of feel? Again, I've already picked out a few must have bits just incase! It's really exciting browsing the babies sections again! Danny kind of gave me the inspiration for the girls room because he got his little schleich (over priced plastic animals he collects!) catalogue the other day and was looking through all the fairies and princesses section and has decided on a few must have items for his possible little sister!

The boys are getting more excited about the whole idea now they have noticed I'm becoming a mammoth woman! Seriously, I feel huge and I'm only just about half way!
Please excuse the pic, not my best...but when my tummy is as big as my butt...That's quite impressive! Ha!

Plus they really loved listening to baby's heartbeat with the doppler, which was so adorable!

I'm going to get a piñata and have the boys bust it open showering them in either 600 pink or blue silk rose petals to reveal what their youngest sibling will be. I'm so excited! Just hope they just beat the piñata with the bats....not each other!

But yes, only 10 days to go till I can finally start buying and planning! Yey!!
