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!
