Butterbean is a.....

~GIRL~

On November 24, 2010 at 10:30 a.m., mommy and daddy went to an ultrasound appointment to see how you were doing and to see if you were a boy or girl. As mommy and daddy sat in the waiting room and filled out paper work they began to get anxious. A lot of pregnant women every where possibly waiting on their ultrasounds as well. As mommy was sitting there and daddy was playing with his new phone, she began to get nervous because of the long wait and used the ladies room immediately... to their surprise they were called back immediately. Mommy and daddy looked at each other with amazement and went to straight the to their door as the nurse called mommy's name. "Go to the right, Room 5 please, straight ahead," nurse stated. When mommy and daddy got into the room daddy gave mommy a kiss and said he was excited. They waited less than a minute for the nurse to come back in and she immediately sat down and got to work on mommy's tummy.

The thoughts that were going through mommy's head were nervous thoughts. She just wanted to make sure everything was alright and wanted to hear the great news of what she was having and if you were healthy.

Ultrasound lady began to play with mommy's tummy shaking it up and trying to make you move. The nurse call you squirt many times throughout the process. She detailed everything so mommy and daddy could fully see what she was seeing. Mommy and daddy thought it was so amazing. Then she asked if they would like to know the gender and of course they said yes. They were anxious and couldn't wait another day.

Snapping pictures as mommy and daddy smiled...She said "It's a Girl." Mommy and daddy looked at each other and mommy started to cry. She was so amazed finding out you were a little girl by the name of Charley Olivia that they've picked out since the beginning. Time to think PINK!!! So amazed, they thought you were a boy this entire time. Sorry Charley. As the excitement continued the u/s was complete and the nurse gave mommy and daddy lots of pictures of you. They couldn't stop looking at them and then made the next appointment to see you again. Mommy and daddy got into the car and she started calling everyone.

EXCITED, EXCITED, EXCITED

This is what you look like:

Mommy and daddy love you so very much and cannot wait until the day you arrive.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Mommy went to grandma and grandpa's house to see the family. They were so excited to know you were a girl and that you were healthy. They immediately made sure mommy ate after driving all night. Mommy woke up early. Grandma and Grandpa made breakfast for her with a tall glass of orange juice. Then mommy went to class and helped grandma in the kitchen. Mommy was in charge of homemade cornbread...she did such a great job for her first time. She can't wait to make it again. Family and friends over, the entire house full, grandma whipped up some great dishes with the help of her daughters and they all chowed down. Mommy made sure she ate enough for you. Mommy hasn't been very happy lately and the number one person that makes her happy the most is you Charley. She now lives and breathes for you every moment, every day.

She will be the best mommy she can be for you regardless of anything she may go through...

Forever and Always

Thumper....

Butterbean...what are you doing in there? You have been kicking mommy since November 7, 2010. Is there enough room in there for you? Do you not like my singing? Do you not like when I am upset? Do you not like what I eat?
Well little thumper, I absolutely enjoy feeling your kicks because it's such an amazing feeling. Daddy and I went to an appointment on Nov. 11, 2010 to find out if you were a precious little girl or a handsome little boy. However, we didn't get to find out your gender and although the doc tried, daddy and I scheduled another appointment. How exciting. Seeing you move and hearing your kicks and heartbeat made me cry. You were kicking and punching like you were doing Karate. :0)
For a few days, I've been feeling you thump around in my tummy. I've been feeling really good but very sleepy. School is taking a toll on me and I cannot wait to be finished. Yes, your mommy is a straight A student.
Your grandma (oma) has been buying you some very nice things boppy pillow, security blankets, paci's, etc. She loves you already and cannot wait to see you.

This is you in my tummy at 15 weeks

This is you in my tummy at 16 weeks

This is you in my tummy at 17 weeks

I cannot wait to see you! I love you so much already. 

Daddy and Mommy
